[Onoff]

Great day at the boot fair this morning I got this nearly-full crocell pot and 6 blocks of crocell. Guy wanted £3 I gave him a tenner. Guy said pop back next week I have a radius dresser you can have.

Did you think "Oh look at all this space I've now got and need to fill"?

 

[Seadog]

I hope he gave you a better address than the 'Somewhere in France' I posted stuff to

I had his address having visited. However, the company chose to send it to a locker

Where TF are they going? Engineers safety factor of x10 was applied there!

Curious if this is a stability item on top of the wall in the photo with the openings? Or are they for something else not in the scope of the photo?

They are solid, they are not on the standard list, the steel man had to get them from Tata , I could of had a lighter section but the height and width would cause problems upstairs and they would stick out the ceiling to much, the good thing is they are available on a 14 meter length so got both of them out of one length.
The whole back corner of the ground floor is coming out so they are holding upstairs up (from the white line across to the far right of the picture) then the smaller ones bolt to the to make a big T steel

It’s all part of larger works including wrap round extension and a new workshop, I thought of doing a thread about it all but don’t know if people would be interested?

I haven't actually acquired this yet but I have ordered a new chair for my home office
It is a recliner with built in massage facilities
The new space should be sorted by the weekend and I will post a picture

Right then, I will try and start one at the weekend, I guess it will go into the architectural section.

 

[MattF]

do elephant **** size

I do hope the blanked word is @rse.

 

[RedOrZed]

These two teeny tiny V blocks (elephant for scale)
Also several more of various sizes, but these two are so tiny! And the side rails are curved. Shame only got 1 clamp.

Can I have her phone number?

Wait for the picture

 

[Farside]

You're thinking of doner kebab

Going by the size of the legs I'd never want to run into a wild one.

 

[Farside]

The conversation went like this, are you throwing that voice away?
'Yes'

Ventriloquist?

I am now the proud owner of 5 watering cans with no spouts, they were shiny so I had to save them from the skip. I riveted a patch over the holes and now I have 5 bucket / cans that are equally useless

Should have 3D printed spouts!

 

[oldbikedavey]

A Trangia Swedish Army stove and mess tin kit , which is somewhere in the postal system at this time.
Not expensive, but effective, reliable, and highly adaptable.
Ideal for grilling lemmings, no doubt.

I find oranges are sweeter...

A bit of sealant under the patch, and they're far better than plastic buckets. .

 

[Pigeon_Droppings2]

Could you mig braze a spout back on ( bit of galv tubing would work).
