I usually sell them or trade them for other fun things.........
The pendants that is.
I needed a 70mm/ish disk in a decent thickness of steel. My hole saw is blunt, completely useless. So in the lathe it went to part it off and use the backside of the holesaw as the disk. What could possibly go wrong 
anyway no drama and it parted off OK.
some welding, not the best but more than strong enough for the purpose.
Mounted
But what’s it for…
Warming up
Up to temp.
Can’t beat a low pressure sodium glow.

Being decreasingly tolerant of indoor grinding dust in my machinery shed (and tired of using my boot outside as a clamp, and not willing to walk all the way to my workshop) I knocked up this light-weight, dedicated blade-grinding vice stand that I can pop outside the door to clean up topper, mower and other blades as they wear. Found the cutest little "1 ton" lightweight vice in a box to stick on it.
The frame turned out a bit heavier than I would have liked, but ain't that always the case once you let loose with the hot-glue gun? Anyway, will save my back (and my boots).

Are they not available no more?

That’s scary!
You should’ve sold the modern art and bought a new wood chipper with the proceeds
Took one of the broken spotlights aluminium shell and discovered it fits
almost perfectly under the front of the mower and is the exact same height of the deck so makes a nice skid plate for those annoying tufts of grass/rocks/curb edges that tend to get stuck on the two arms holding the cutting deck.
Also started prepping the material for the inlet/feed hopper and cutting it for the chipper, not super accurate but good enough for guesswork with existing holes plus the sections of angle around it will tidy it up whilst reinforcing.
