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

[The_Yellow_Ardvark]

Me poor.
Me just paid £150 for a box and a pink cow. In a hat.

 

[The_Yellow_Ardvark]

Oh yes.
The box was heavy, with many items and the cow was small and plastic.

See a box.

Empty, as it was heavy and the base is showing signs of not being a base.

A pink plastic cow.


Was I mad?

You was done!!!!!!

Big Time.....

 

[zzr1200]

Or do you mean £1.50...

 

[The_Yellow_Ardvark]

You was done!!!!!!

Big Time.....

I think not.
I did say the box was heavy.

 

[Other Daniel]

Maybe Ermintrude is worth £149.50

 

[zzr1200]

I did say the box was heavy.

Wood effect rapped gold box???

 

[The_Yellow_Ardvark]

Now I have un packed the contents, this is why I was happy to pay that amount of money.

Not much tto show.
But the Hex bitis for a old Socket set I have. Means a it is now complete, as with the silver Tommy bar. That will complete another set.

The lower blue screwdriver is a JIS Cross head. The side cutters are old Nipex. Very little use.

Fe more odd buts, a nice Record small plane, 25 foot tape measure, plus a few other nice bits I will use.

Plus some more weights.

Plus a motor cycle

There is more.
Time for tea.

Plus some WD whistles.

 

[The_Yellow_Ardvark]

The weights.
Go with this.

Post office Letter scales. The Serial numbers on the weights match the scales.

The weight was made up with this.

Un named bench swival vice.

Plus this vice.

1890's to 1910 American Copper bit iron. There is a name on it, but it needs to be cleaned.

 

[The_Yellow_Ardvark]

There was one more item in the box as well.

I think I did well. Plus the charity shop did well.

I also got some Oil lamp chimleies and wicks as well.

 

[Other Daniel]

Well,ok. But you had stated that the box was empty.

 

[The_Yellow_Ardvark]

Well,ok. But you had stated that the box was empty.

No I said it was heavy, the first picture was of an empty box.
As the bottom was about to make friend with the floor.

 

[MattF]

A nutsert tool. Not an expensive jobbie, but I only need it to do one insert. Owt after that is a bonus.

Got it to do this:



The internal M10 nut has dropped off. Was trying to think of the best way to remedy it last night, & plumped for the nutsert route. Least faff method.

 

[MattF]

Well,ok. But you had stated that the box was empty.

That's cos he emptied it of its contents, for that photo.

 

[Other Daniel]

That's cos he emptied it of its contents, for that photo.

Not difficult to sucker me.

 

[The_Yellow_Ardvark]

I never said the box was empty.
I just said it was heavy.

Not difficult to sucker me.

I will say no more on that.

 

[Mick Annick]

This came the other day. Quite partial to the design of these. I've had a standard one on the van for a couple of years or so now, & they hold up well. Good for pouring from too, for the power tools.

The explo-safe bit is this:

Filled with a wire mesh. Supposed to aid heat dissipation. Means you can't shove the filler nozzle right in though, as with a standard can.

Not seen one of those for a while

You could have borrowed my nutsert tool and saved yourself the purchase price of the tool, ok it would have cost you fuel costs, but........your not that far away?

Cheers for the offer. I don't have a car any more. Besides, now I've got one, it's there if I ever need it again. You know what it's like once you acquire a new tool. You start finding uses for it.
