There is a plastic one using normal hose pipes that fits on a brushless battery drill , IIRC they can be safely used with petrol ...but check .

Usually these missing phalanges &thumbs are down to very high speed three phase machine incidents . It often used to happen in a noisy environment where the phase of the lighting is on the same phase as the machine , so it looks as thought the cutter is not moving . Also push sticks & push pads weren't used .

If you have some more of this exotic hard wood and are willing , would you send me a chunk 4 inches wide that is cut across the grain .. I'd like to try and make a few decent pens with it ( happy to reimburse you for it ) , PM me of OK and we can sort things out .

Well I "designed" my own service book for my Volvo. When I bought it I lacked all service history, which is why I didn't drive it after I got it home for over a week.
Changed the timing belt, serpentine belt, vacuum hoses, repaired air box flapper, renovated the pcv system, flushed the coolant and replaced it and finally oil and filter got changed. Been steadily fixing small issues one after another, stuff that happens on an old car. Everything is pretty easily fixable though, which is the pro of an old car...
Still don't have anywhere to write all this down. So I designed and had my service book printed. Vistaprint is pretty nifty and cheap too.
Also some pens because why not.

When I got my van I created a document on my laptop to record the service history. There was a moment of panic when my hard drive died but luckily I found a backup copy on a thumb drive.Well I "designed" my own service book for my Volvo.

Well it's not Milwaukee I've gone blue
GLM 50-27 CG or 50m Laser measure was delivered early today by Mr Amazon Driver. I did look at other brands inc Milwaukee and the many much cheaper ones on Amazon but looking at the reviews they'd always be comparing them to the Bosch. It doesn't have any more features than a lot of the cheaper ones than accuracy but it does link to the Bosch Measure On app which appears to a great time saving tool and will sure as hell be better than my dodgy drawings with figures scribbled all over it that is normally lost before it becomes useful

i nipped into a nice place on my way home, snaffled a coffee and a few cookies, left some money and was given this bundle.
This the reason I was happy to part with funds.
Was marked up as a "Brass Butter Try".
I new otherwise.
Next to the tray.
I liked them as, both sets are patented items.
Plus an Odd Ohm meter.
The Brass tray fits this.

Pulled a Henry Hoover out of a builders skip. No hose or handle, and the builders had used it to suck up sand and grout, without a bag.
One good cleaning later, and with a replacement hose & head & handle ( less than £20 off ebay) and it's worked perfectly for more than 10 years...

The other day I got two sets of old Railway sets.
Sorting them out, I found this in a boxed off section.

17 boxes of out of date chocolates....sorry 16... burp !
£8.50 each in a certain high class food purveyors that's £ 144.50 of fancy choco sitting right there ,
I was worried their bin was full and might cause lifting injuries so i lightened the load for them.

I got some Vevor-branded drill dispenser/tap dispenser boxes from eBay to sort my taps and dies a little.
While my taps and dies were sorted by type - UNC, UNF, Metric, Metric fine, etc.- it still took a while to find the correct size.
The three boxes came as a bundle for around £94 delivered.
They are stackable, but nothing is holding them together and they can potentially slide off each other.
I am thinking of drilling a few holes and using small screws and nuts to make them a solid unit.
Starting to sort some taps.
One annoying thing about the boxes is that they don't have a latch/lock when the drawer is closed. On most toolboxes, the drawers latch a little when they are fully closed preventing the drawers from accidentally opening.
I ordered some magnets which I plan to stick on the back of the drawers to see if that will cure the problem.
