Today was a good day, I found stuff for a good price.

Plus I also went on a tool hunt for @Parm.

This is todays finds.

A compete Mamod 3 wick burner..
Has been used, a the wicks are a later type. But it does have the original filler plug.

Exemouth Charity shop, £4.

From another charity shops scrap bin and "can not sale" bin.

The thimble is silver, the weights are Banfield style.
The Mini Davy lamp is meant to work, but it needs a lot of attention.
The Rolls Razor blade is a beard thinning blade, unused.

BA Taps and drils. But they are jammed in. Plus some one has tried to free them by adding a fluid. This has melted the lower pastic and the lot are stuck.

Jewlers Auto Blow torch.

Someone has used petrol andf this has caused issues. The smell is over powering.

This bundle was nice.
The wire stippers are Draper. I have used this type many times, they are a good tool.
The big safety pin?
Why not.

The oil can is a Snap On one.

£3. For the whole bundle.

You can't take it with you, so you may as well get enjoyment from it now.

Rather a good day today. Andy a111r invited me to look at the remnants of a workshop, all large tooling gone (although we're talking model-maker, here).

I came away with all of this

Not bad for a oner. The wood is all hardwood: mahogany, teak, beech, and some oak.

To be honest Matt I melted my torch a little while back and I well remember all of thoseposts as a newbie telling me to get a water cooled torch, I did think a the time it was an extravagance and something only people using the Tig all day would use, "professionals" as it were. Until I melted the torch head and realised that actually a cooler just might be the answer. and here we are.....

It does. I've no idea whether it was a kit or completely homemade. I put some air through it and it runs, but sounds a bit clunky.

Sounds a bit like me…

People put air into you?
I thought you were well know for venting gas.
