I'd give you a tenner for itThat box of bits sold for £420 at auction end . Makes me wonder what mine would fetch 'as is'.
I'd give you a tenner for it
I'm always saying that, usually includes "And I'll sell that so that can fit there, but it needs fixing before I can sell it, and I need to buy this to fix it properly". Somehow buying more toys always seems to come before shifting the old ones.Me: "Well, my plan is to move that to there >, move that a bit >, and it ought to sit here"
Is it not for sharpening mill tools too?
youve forgotten your promiseRe the Quorn. I was in the cave yesterday and a pal arrived to see how my trip went. He asked what all the bits were for and I explained.
Him: "Ah, I see. When did you last sharpen a drill bit?"
Me: "Not for a while"
Him: "Then why do you need a separate machine for doing them?"
Me: "I don't really, but it'll be nice to have".
Him: "Where are you going to keep it? You're very short of working space as it is" [looking at the approx 4 x sq feet of bench-top currently available. ]
Me: "Well, my plan is to move that to there >, move that a bit >, and it ought to sit here"
Him: "But you're having to move stuff around to get to the stuff you have crammed in those cupboards as it is....."
Me: "Aye, that's true"
Him: "Looks like it'll be heavy when it's done"
Me: "Possibly"
Him: "Mhhhhhh"
So, I've had an epiphany, a bit of a Damascene moment if you will [in a decidedly non-religious way ].
Given that I should be de-cluttering instead of acquiring more 'stuff', I'm going to sell the Quorn 'as is'. I'm going to take decent pics of all the bits over the coming week [if the weather behaves] and list it 'For Sale', probably on Home-Workshop.
I'm going away again in a couple of weeks, so it might not happen until after that. I have other mundane 'life' things to do as well, and this build is taking up altogether too much of my time.

I thought I was the only person afflicted in that wayI'm always saying that, usually includes "And I'll sell that so that can fit there, but it needs fixing before I can sell it, and I need to buy this to fix it properly". Somehow buying more toys always seems to come before shifting the old ones.
I could well be a Founder Member, I've currently got 6 angry grinders . But that's largely down to laziness for changing fittings e.g cutting/grindings discs/wire wheels etc in the middle of a job.Hi I'm DSR and I'm a recovering bastard file user, I'm slowly trying to get used to angle grinders but...
Less than likely, but I'll keep you in mind with 1st dibsWell, it has been nearly been over two years, but you've already got one - two would be greedy....... As said, I'm only moving this on because of space restrictions and my 'buying'habitaddiction [fixed before anyone else does it ].
Only 6? I just did a quick stock take in my head and felt embarrassed and stopped counting when I got to 13!I could well be a Founder Member, I've currently got 6 angry grinders .
