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

[Blue Chips]

Had a bit of retail therapy at my local tool shop today.

Highly therapeutic!
Although when I buy tools, my spouse says I suffered a retail attack.

 

[Olderisbetter]

what wattage do you need? I have a few spares,

I think the panel is 440 watts

 

[Gragson]

Drill guides, could have made something but cheap and quick off amazon.
Need to do some relatively accurate freehand drilling, which I do not excel at..

What does your spouse call it when she buys 14 pairs of shoes?

 

[JOEPRO]

No. I've bought a Britool set recently.

Stainless steel mesh for a pond cover I’m making,I’ll bend all 4 sides up for stiffness,then weld the corners,at £43 I thought they were reasonable.

Anticipated earlier

Super Condor 40 TC Automatic Mill Drill

Picked up and unloaded in my property.

Swivel vice most likely an FZA, a spanner, few drill bits, a Morse taper wedge, strange tools to move it, a scribe on the base, two boring heads.
My cold saw behind still waiting for restoration

It needs little bit of love, starting with a new controll panel, all the electricals needs to be redone, power feed on the table needs to be checked, new handles here and there but it moves and works .
Sump pump missing as well as the retainer nut for milling but for 200 euro i couldn't ask more than that.
Chosen this picture just to note the old and heavy duty drill stand behind, the thing is 50kg made at least 70 years ago well they sell those things for the same amount of money on ebay.
I'll cover and protect it during the weekend.
No money left but it's a little sacrifice I've had to do if I want to make something on my own in the future, that's already a proper machine to start a machine shop, not a little Chinese toy, it's a 700kg lump of cast iron, vintage cast iron

 

[Beeezer]

A acid yellow Hyundai.

 

[Tangledfeet]

Love leica glass

I recall you saying a while ago - you also recommended the Nikon Prostaff several years ago and I bought a pair!

At the country store I was able to spend time with these three, with the window open and a clear view across to the hills. I'd probably have been happy with the Chinese made Zeiss Terra but the Portugal made Leica's are just sublime to hold and I saw no need to spend only slightly more on the 10x25's.
