Pleasure to meet you too Stuart. Thanks to you and Bigegg for getting this gear through to me from Taitsie's too.

Finally got chance to have a play with this vice today Taitsie. It's no lightweight, is it. My arms definitely knew about it by the time I had carried it down to the shed. I'm banking it's over 100lb. Feels notably heavier than a Parkinson 8A, (one of which it's sat alongside, in the first photo), and they weigh in at 92lb, according to the literature.

This is the vice from Taitsie.

It's a Mathieson vice, manufactured in Glasgow. Not had chance to take a photo of it as yet, but a Drummond Roundbed accompanied it down here from Taitsie's, so there's been another addition to the Drummond collection too. Nice to finally have them down here. Cheers Taitsie, Bigegg and T0rnado.


Your gear is here now too Eschen. The drill seems a fair old size for a bench top model.

no problems matt, as i said. going back to Barnsley was the better way to go...
it also gave me and my mate a chance to take a break before the long trip home.
just wish i had stayed for the 2nd cuppa.....

indeed that pillar drill is a fair weight.

i had a bit of a play with the genny i got off simon.
going to need two wheels and two feet to put on it i think.
to make it easier to move about...
had a little bit of a tidy up in garages today, ready for tomorrow
got to help a neighbour with his transit..
large hole in cill, lip is soft, so new inner and outer plate needed.

Aye, in hindsight, accepting that second cuppa, (you have told people that I don't actually have a drying line for used teabags? ), would have come in handy.

It is. It's currently serving as workshop art in the far corner of the living room. Thought it'd be fun to see if Eschen dare look the wife in the eye when he comes, wondering whether she'll give him a withering glare or not over a drill in the living room. What can I say; I have a warped sense of humour.

Definitely be easier to move it with it on wheels.

The infamous tidying sessions. The bit of floor space I'd managed to make reappear has disappeared over the last day or so. I'm back to jam packed again.

good chance if i had of done, then good chance we wouldn't of got side swiped on Barnsley road.

im wondering if i got the glare too for bringing it to your living room LOL

is Eschen coming to collect them from you, or trying to get them moved further up north towards him.

yer it will be, going to see what i can find for it.

im near there again,

 

[MattF]

Collecting when he's next down this way. The wife is wanting some blinds and a fire surround fitting, so she's letting me off with the living room storage space.

 

[T0rnado69]

aww i see, well hope he is happy with them

well that is one way around getting extra storage space lol

 

[eSCHEn]

Just woke up and checked in. Feeling guilty now - is it really in your front room Matt?

Mrs F sounds like my wife, pretty damn amazing for putting up with it all!

She barely even notices these days. She's had far worse and larger stuck in the front room in the past.

I think they just give us up as a lost cause.

 

[eSCHEn]

Must resist double entendré...

Thanks to you both

Good job I didn't say it came in a box then.

Thanks to you both

Nae worries; You're welcome. They ain't eating snap, so they're cheap house guests to cater for.

You need to put the forum standard size mug in for size comparison

 

[T0rnado69]

no worries eSHEn.
im sure matt will find it better to drill holes in things while sitting on the sofa nice and warm.

instead of in a cold shed LOL

I was going to put the mug in the shot, but I can't get to the shelf where I keep it at the moment.
