Magnetic clampy things

[chunkolini]

Another attempt at clamps to hold small components for welding.
Success this time.
Switchable magnetic bases with adjustable arms, I have a small mole grip on one of them and a retort clamp on the other.
The base allows them to be moved easily before being locked down, one of them is happily holding a 16oz hammer.

£14.50 each and £45.00 for five, I wanted four but have got five and am hanging onto them

I have three Jack Russells here which quite like a bit of ratting. You're welcome to borrow them but I think the shipping might be a wee bit troublesome...

clever idea, that's gonna save the burnt fingers on the awkward fiddly jobs

 

[chunkolini]

I have spent years fannying about making little jigs. This was money well spent.
Now I just need some time to get into small fiddly jobs.

fannying about

It's a fantastic expression, isn't it

 

[gordon stephenson]

The expression "fannying about" Does that originate with men messing about with things they know nothing about.

Maybe but I think with most men, as you spend the first 9mths of your existence trying to get out of one,then the rest of your life trying to get back in them, that could be why?

Dearly Beloved asked me to look up this last night. I used IMDb and not the URL bar.

Clever lad Chunkolini, good idea.

Like making ratraps maybe?

Pudding bowl, 50p piece and some peanut butter catches quite a lot rodent wise. You still need to dispatch them though as it's a live trap.

 

[chunkolini]

How does that work? does it leave them confused?
50p piece propping the bowl up?
I dont want them alive.

 

[eSCHEn]

Put peanut butter on inside of bowl, prop bowl up on that spot. Rodent smells bait, goes under bowl to investigate and stands on back legs to get to bait. Weight pushes bowl over and voila, captured. Like this (only had 2p as I'm poor):

It is, of course, a live capture though. If you're looking for traps then "the big cheese" are great - press handle to set, ready baited. Put under a bit of drainpipe to ensure clean kill and job done.

Its a Scottish trap design, you sit there, eagle eyed, glaring at the 50p piece in case it gets nicked,when the rat gets near the 50p, you dive down and beat em to it.
The rat is trapped in the bowl, so you give it to next doors kids-christmas present sorted.
You then reset the trap, and say to the family " see, ye dinnae need waste money on a telly fae entertainment when ye got rats aroond the hoose"

I love your sense of humour

I went to a pet food supply etc store for some mouse traps. I was told they only sold the humane type, you catch them take them somewhere else and release them (EH) I said I wanted to kill them not f***in kiss them, Sorry sir we don't do that kind of thing here. No wonder there are that many running about.
