This was advertised on Facebook with a really poor photo and description (Grinder). I could just about identify the shape of the name on the front even if you couldn't read it. I have a Scheppach copy version already so the missing accessories aren't a problem

Thirty quid.

The grinder, is that the wet stone one?

If so you are missing the bath.

 

[Richiew]

Yeah I know. Not a problem. Might get the Tig welder out and attempt a replacement out of ally. Need a reason to use it.

 

[MattF]

Thirty quid.

You already know how jammy you are with that purchase.

 

[Richiew]

I was only looking for the vice, but there was other stuff for sale. Would have been rude not to.

 

[8ob]

Be interesting to hear whether the plasma cutter is any good...I might buy an upgrade and sell my (mint in box !) non compressor version!

If there isn't already some kind of review on here I will unbox it tomorrow and do one.

Gaz tube to the rescue

 

[Richiew]

The current one is a revised and presumably cheaper to manufacture model with a suffix B2.

 

[Barking Mat]

That's pretty impressive for £150.

 

[Keithmac]

Sad really but saved some racking from the scrapyard!.

Possibly 2 welding tables too!.

Probably £1k worth of throttle bodies in a box.

Onwards and upwards.

Not the same model, not the pilot arc torch with I think.

Reckon so, mines an A1 but got a Parkside pilot arc torch for it from Germany.

Certainly not conclusive cos it depends on a load of things, but did a back to back on some 5mm flat steel and the non PA had more beans than the PA torch on the same machine...

I though I was dreaming today when I saw an Arnie Lidl advert on ITV - but no! Must be hard up...

Come on @8ob Give us a review, show us your muscles and best terminator impressions

Is Arnie short of work or cash ?

Nobodies mentioned scabies, much fun.

The nurse at the care home my mum is in did . . .

Which explained the itching my mum was complaining about, and the straight lines of scratches she'd created.
Whole home being dosed for it. Social worker said most of Calderdale care homes and hospitals seem to be suffering with it at the moment.

I was itching that evening, despite knowing it takes a while, and you need close contact to pass it on . .

 

[Beeezer]

Blackthorn is really bad for passing on nasties, tetanus being one.

Got one in the back of my hand, hospital had a dig about and could find anything but I knew there was something in there…
Five months later drying my hands this popped out….

 

[magnet]

A selection of cedar logs hauled back from holiday in Wales.
Saw some contractors trimming some cedars near the overhead powerlines had a quick word and got these.
It's virtually unobtainable here so I've scored a lifetimes supply of carving wood.
The car smelled lovely on the way home.
Wor lass had a face like flint mind she'll come round.

 

[dobbslc]

Today I acquired my favourite snack from Lidl's.

And on the way out I had an @MattF moment

Bunged up @8ob ?
Maybe you can use the plasma cutter if the prunes don't work...

 

[arian]

No. "It's" is a contraction. "Its" is the possessive.

Ah no. Of course you're correct. Sorry. I wrote it wrong

Should have said I was taught that if the I-T-S expands to "it is" or "it has", then it's "it's", otherwise it's "its".

Please dont take anything like this to heart, @Seadog isn't a bad apple its just his "thing".

[iNf]

Barely a day after joining the forum and the dark forces compelled me to bring this home. It looks like it was made to fit the space

 

[dobbslc]

Good start sir!

 

[Farside]

isn't a bad apple its just his

Tch.
It's.
