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

[Turbo]

Thanks to The Forum for persuading me to buy something that I'll probably never have cause to use...
But who knows?

And they were cheap.

You can get the same effect from a box of immodium!

 

[Turbo]

Many thanks to @Seadog , @Dcal & @Cheesie who between them managed to get these goodies over to Cheesies for me to collect.

A 3/4 HP Clarke motor, pulley & NVR switch.

A pair of pallet truck rollers & a broken Draper plasma cutter with a good 4.5m torch. The torch is to replace the stupidly short 2m torch on my Lidl plasma.

Tried the torch & its a direct swap for the original!

Good to chat to you tonight @Cheesie , hope I didn't delay you too much chatting!

At long last I managed to source the correct gearbox from my van.

It was an old school breakers yard where you are pointed in the direction of the vehicle & help yourself. Got a few bits of trim & 2 rims, one with a decent tyre.

When it came to pay I inquired about card payment, he said if you use card we have to charge vat so cash it was, saved me £66!

90 day warranty on the box so plenty of time to get it fitted & ensure its working ok.

I had to read that twice to make sure I understood the meaning!

It wasn't for praise , there had been issues on the job and not his fault and things with the client were sort of coming to loggerheads . I just think a fresh person and a new perspective helped them see what should have been done and what wasn' t . His clients are cool now and settled his bill in full so I think the hammer was a simple thanks .

The Estwing hammers are the holy grail of hammers, so what I meant was he thought highly of your helping him out. A very nice gift.

Ive had mine around 35yrs. Different style to @roblane65 hammer, they seem to be popular in the states. With its straight back they are hard to pull nails out with them

The rest





The Suds left for 12++ months had turned to lard, couple of cable glands replaced, change halogen bulb for led.
The sudds feed from the pump is a mess, comes out of pump on a union to a pipe in a armoured cover to a solid pipe with tap then to the delivery nozzle, so 3 flex pipe joints.
They have a brass top hat, nylon tapered washer, and a rubber compression washer all are shot, including pipe.
Any one sorted this sort of mess?.
Presume silicon tube but the nylon, brass, rubber bits

I've got several, they are indestructible. I now use a 12 ounce Estwing, as my 28 ounce thumb killer was put into retirement in 1997. At least I received a Purple Thumb Award for my pain, lol.

Place I worked before there was an estwing with the handle wrapped in leather strip & varnished. Horrible thing to use, nobody liked it apart from 1 guy who had it all to himself.
I've since used a rubber grip version & whilst it was nice to use I still prefer a wooden shafted hammer.

Finished work today and went for a ride to collect this for the workshop hot corner..... just need a torch WP18, I believe, I already have a foot pedal.

View attachment 396106

WP18 would be about right for it, a bit clumsier than a WP20 though - and of course both would need a torch cooler (if you don't have one - a litre/min at 30 - 50psi). WP18 are rated for 350A, WP20 for 200/250A. I must get a WP20 for mine, now i've got the cooler sorted out *again*, don't really go much over 150A!

Yes it was a very nice gesture indeed but in all honesty I'll probably never use it I can't remember the last time I spent the best part of a day knocking spikes with a hammer and I've always found framing hammers unwieldy , My daily driver for some time has been one of these

and when I really wanna bash some thing this

Vaughan ( usa ) 22oz at a much more useable 13 1/2" and as you can tell I do like a straight claw ( they do split wood nicely ).
