Today I acquired...........

[dobbslc]

Drank from a 1/2 pt glass, who would have ever known.

Go into a pub nowadays and ask for a bottle of Dog! The blank stares you get

 

[roblane65]

A few bits from this mornings very quiet car boot


an old broken jack ,I intend to use the screw to make an adjustable height stool, a few more spanners .Some chemistry clamps I'm sure they'll come in handy for some thing and how could I refuse for a pound. And I know there's some collectors on here three old hex style Brittool sockets i'll post up else where for anyone interested.

No, pint glass cos I can't get me bugle in a 1/2 pint.

 

[Moose McAlpine]

Bought a little tiny Facom screwdriver.

Began suffering from a condition called DWS (Delivery Withdrawl Syndrome as it's sometimes known.) and retail therapy is the only known treatment, although there's no known permanent cure.

I bought a bloody big spanner, from FB marketplace. Sold as a "railway" spanner, I have knocked the paint / rust off and there is no railway markings and
no track ganger would have wanted to carry this far
There is a double ring affair as per the photo's ..I am guessing this is a manufacturers mark ??

I dug out my biggest bit of hex and it looks dwarfed at 2.5" accross the flats, The spanner has been used and started as a 3 1/2" inch but looks to been machined out by 1/4" on one side.
It will look good when bolted to the wall not sure what I am going to do regards paint may go chemical blacking

That's a big one.

 

[JEZGUZ]

I'd re-purpose that as a door knocker, already got the hole for the pivot point, should make a solid boom when it hits the door.

 

[Kram]

Long ago aquired some m8,m10 and m12 studding from toolstation. It was cheap and *will* be needed eventually. Today.

Today aquired.. the knowledge that it is poo! A close look the OD is correct, the pitch is correct, but it looks wrong. Minor diameter on m10 is about 6mm, because the thread angle is 15/30 degrees.
Nope, I will not be using that to hold a heavy thing to a spinny thing

Concerning that somone has gone to some effort and stupidity to make/buy the tooling for these, to be made on a massive scale in China, then sold to a big shop (different months and different branches). How much stuff is bolted together with this?

 

[Onoff]

An Abwood machine vice. Seized but not for long!

Record 83 with quick release:

Paramo No.50 with quick release:

I've had a result there I think for £20!

 

[8ob]

Today I acquired one of the vac units for my flowbench via a cheeky bid off the bay of thieves

 

[Onoff]

In one fell swoop I've got a bigger wood vice than I've got (and it's quick release which my small one isn't), a FAR better machine vice and a replacement for my second vice in the garage. I am comfortably awash with vices now. None swivel though...

 

[The_Yellow_Ardvark]

I have seen that weird offset before and that was described as a railway spanner to me. That one was a lot smaller. About 2” ish. I’m not sure if it’s just a description of the shape or if they are in fact rail / loco spanners.

A new saw.
I bet @8ob and @mtt.tr will be jealous of this beast, with it's whopping 4 inches

In all seriousness though, it seems quite capable for it's size.
Went through a 3" Scots pine, at a steady pace.

Couple of rolls of PETG off Amazon, have used lots of Ziro PLA and it's been good, hoping the PETG will be similar quality
