Stopped by the Dogs trust shop today. Nice simple call out.
I came away with a few goodies.
Can not be sold, as it has a sharp edge.
With original tracks.
A very expensive book.
A small Tonka.
A tin with contents.
A chisel.
A set of fluffiees.

Today, I acquired a better understanding of the finer elements of Japanese joinery.
Very subtle skills involved, and well worth the trip up to Kensington to see the exhibition at Japan House.
Which is free , by the way......

Crikey - I was handling my own Dinky Chieftain a few days ago when rearranging the loft. Mine sufferered track loss in major back garden battle nearly 50 years ago. Transporter still there too. I was looking for my Scorpion tank - clearly remember my Uncle and Auntie giving it to me in the garden of my grandparents farm in Buckland, Buckinghamshire - so pre '76. Her funeral is on Monday.
And my little Tonka bulldozer created much flat land in that same back garden over a very long time - still on it's tracks, very worn blade. I always wondered if it was missing a back-actor in that moulding on the rear - but from your picture, it wasn't.

I bet you find the multi tool very useful for doing the basic wood removal for finger & dove tail , joints . Now I'm 74 & have probs gripping chisel handles for long they are an absolute boon. I happened to see a box of crimp sleeve & the four jaw crimping tool for £16 IIRC a year ago in Lidl's so purchased it as I prefer to sleeve bare wire in plugs etc .. I've also discovered it will handle soft aluminium , thin copper or thin brass tube to 8mm and bullet connectors with ease

I've been contemplating on weather I need one of these tools, but like you, I now have a job I could use one for. Thanks for the tip mentioning Screwfix, I'll check it out.

Get a couple of sets of decent blades for it from Screwfix whilst your at it if you can . MY 240 volt multi saw tool was used to slit out grout below the plaster line then drill and break up one tile so I could use the swan neck blade to slip behind other tile and remove them with the least breakage . half a square metre on I was so pleased I'd got two full spare blade sets as the grout & tiles cement ate the gold abrasive cutters and the swan necks .I've been contemplating on weather I need one of these tools, but like you, I now have a job I could use one for. Thanks for the tip mentioning Screwfix, I'll check it out.
If you need reading glasses put them on so you ensure the blades fit over the driving pins before you fully tighten the retaining clamp up (
guess how I found that one out ? ) They are brill for blind cutting into coving to let you slip boards or pipe etc up into the hole you've just accurately cut.

I modify stick on covers to save the visor.
Bit of a faff but does work well.
I use a Jackson air fed grinding mask for dirty grinding, wire brushing type jobs and even spot blasting.
I use stick on protectors and they do a great job of extending the life of the screen.
I can't get proper covers so make my own.
A blower mask is really nice to use when it's hot and sticky and I do prefer a simple clear visor instead of an auto welding mask in grinding mode.
