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

[6ply]

Looks like something I'd use on a tool and cutters grinder

Agreed. I may use it on my surface grinder for a similar purpose.

 

[4String.]

Have gotten increasingly fed up of my black hole tool bag so I bought a tool roll:



10 minutes after unwrapping it, everything is neat and tidy and I know where it is. A total of 5 capacious pouches and 2 smaller ones that easily hold a full set of tools, and no more fumbling around in the black hole (oo-err):



And it takes up less than half the space that the tool bag did:

metal shelf assembled still have a lot to do but I'm done for today

Spent most of the day catching on much needed sleep.

But a mad friend just left.
They found this lot.

A VERY sharp Bill hook.

Late 1940's early 50's folding wire cutters.




Cable stripper.

What's better than freeing up space?
Filling it back again
I'm now the proud owner of this 3/4" Gedore Rahsol Dremometer torque wrench in the 140-760Nm range View attachment 508161
Seriously I don't need something like that often but after having had to count every single Nm over the maximum torque on my half inch to get the remaining 30 needed to reach 240 and correctly torque the axles on my little Punto.
I wanted something capable of higher torques.
Said that it'll be much easier to torque something using this one than using my half inch.
As it has a longer lever.
Example 180Nm on the 1/2" will be around 30kg of applied force at the handle.
While on this something like 22kg.
And for someone skinny like me it's an huge difference

To do hub nuts I have a mark on my breaker bar and I know if I lean all my 80kg on the bar at that point it is the correct torque.

Just convert your weight to newtons and do some maths to get your distance.

Got my hands on a nice heavy duty drill stand.
It will be modified slightly to use for installing seals on process valves.
Currently do it with a hydraulic press, but it's tedious and difficult to feel when rhe seal has located.

I can even do the math on the threads to find the angle needed
Your method is easier

I hope you've built the shelving in its final resting place. There will be a lot of swearing if you have to move it.

I hope you've built the shelving in its final resting place. There will be a lot of swearing if you have to move it.

It's final place as it's the only location that allows me to store things and park the toolbox in front of it without interfering with the benches or movements inside the small shop.
I'll swap tools positions on it once I finally get the cabinet inside.
Cause I have a smaller one Wich contains instruments, threading tools and drill bits in it and a drill press on top.
The taller one will contain tools and consumables.
The shelf will be mostly for useful things I don't use or I'm keeping for a specific job which is not going see the end very soon

Some colour changing filament.

In theory it goes from blue to white at ~30°c just gotta find a use for it, seen some use it for electronic boxes as good overheating indicator/looks cool but otherwise no idea what to print!

Is that food compatible?

Is that food compatible?

Pretty much most hobby grade 3d printed things are not food safe unless you seal it.

 

[The_Yellow_Ardvark]

One nice cheque from the local scrap yard, they wrote off the skip hire.
As the metal in the skip was bagged and labled to what it was.
Ferrous on the bottom, loose. Non ferrous on top, all bagged and boxed.

Me had a lockable skip, I fitted Asbestos signs to it.

Because otherwise it would have been great for cups or glasses.
Having the thermal sensitivity it would have been pretty cool

 

[The_Yellow_Ardvark]

I was the second car into my local recycling centre this morning.
The last of my many trips there, only once did I return with anything.

Top of the gangway to the metal skip was placed these two items.
Not for long.

 

[The_Yellow_Ardvark]

Additional to the above.
One of the nice workers asked me over to the office.

Gave me this.

 

[Memmeddu]

Amazon returned item
Paid €48,82 shipped to my door

Those things are pretty expensive even the cheap ones are just too much money for my needs.
Description says scratched, damaged box etc etc
An used or retuned item essentially but It can be just shipping damage.
Anyways
It should work if not I'll see my money back.
I don't need it to lift anything, I'll use it to drag around my milling machine and most likely never use it again.
1.5 Chinese tons and 2.8 meters long chain.
Milling machine is 750kg and I'll use rollers beneath

The poor bastard fixing the gangway that went back to grab a couple of bolts is going to be cursing.

3 hilti gx120 nail guns however after bidding I discovered the gc22 gas cartridge they use is basically discontinued and only option is the gc42 but without buying both (£50 for gc22 from Hilti only and £35 in ebay for gc42) I don't know if I can make the gc42 fit as a replacement as it looks the same just slightly longer so does anyone happen to have either cartridge that they could measure up for me?

Also got a te300 needle gun for a steal, was £200 reserve then £100 then £75 and then accepted my £47

And this Wohlhaupter UPA4 Universal Boring & Facing Head that nobody bid on but no idea how it works yet or what I need it for other than a cool piece of engineering unless someone wants it

Boring head is a seriously nice find. Looks like a 50 taper so possibly not too useful to most hobbyist, but I believe the shank is replaceable on some models.
