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

[Maker]

Adapt the remote connection to a footpedal? I can't imagine it would be too hard to do.

 

[Richiew]

Colin Furze did an interesting electric pump build on his shop press. Too much money for my level of use, not to mention the mechanics of it all.

I expect to be swapping between the air pump and hand pump anyway for delicate stuff and broaching. Just swap a hose connection and bleed the air out I hope.

I’ve put up notice for the skunk to vacate as it ****** off the fox.

These we’re $20.00 Canadian.

Oh no no no ! You don't want to catch a skunk in a live trap.

Killjoy. That would've been a crackingly funny tale for him to tell us.

I could tell a story also.

Do tell.

 

[Arc Tourist]

Do tell.

Set a Havahart trap to catch a possum (for long distance relocation) frequently carping in my barn. Made the mistake of setting it too close to my boat. Long story short, possums don't have stripes down their backs.

Some more Ferrex gear fell into my shopping trolley, thought it a good idea to get some spares while they still use the same batteries.

Somewhat uninspiring after my last acquisition posted here.

Today I acquired a pitot tube for my flowbench and some ac/dc converters for led`s on my drill.

 

[Farside]

This evening I was emailed a shiny new pass in IE land.
Can't wait to get on Top Band and talk about my bunions.

When I was at work, I got two tesxt.
One from a My Hermes driver saying my delivery was in a safe place.



Text 2 was from a good friend. I have sent you some consumables as a thanks. I left a box of nice things for you on your doorstep.
Hidden in your hedge.

In The cardboard box's were the following items.



1250kg of assorted wire wool.



There was a small tube of wood filler as well. But it is hidden behind the lubricating wax.

In The box, covered by the bag.



The yellow meter is a Fluke.



In the black box.



Lock out kit.

End of Part one.

Please join us after the break.

 

[The_Yellow_Ardvark]

Welcome back.
Part 2.



Coffin plane or a coppers plane. In a bad way.
But I will be needing garlic when working on it. The blade has already drawn blood.

Kismet Lorry Foot Pump.
Working, the cable tie was added to keep the hose on.
Now I have 3 old pumps to restore.



Old Water fire extinguisher.
I have come across this type before, but not had a chance to own one.




These.



Yes, these.
No idea what they are for.

Oh yes a small spanner.





Old and odd way to adjust the head.
