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

[The_Yellow_Ardvark]

Not much, just some Bee's wax from @slim_boy_fat. Just enough for an experiment.
More of that later.

I got myself another pair of 300mm corner clamp things. Always handy to have on hand.

I have some 3d printed ones that I keep meaning to cast in aluminium when I get some batteries for my roundtuit

Interesting , Ive done a wee bit of aly casting before with a home made foundry but nothing serious. Are you hoping to use the 3d printed parts like the lost wax technique?

 

[Lewis_RX8]

You thinking of starting a collection now

 

[Dev]

No just sand cast like this:

Here’s the clamps - one painted to make it ‘grab’ less. You can’t tell but the interior sides have a bit of draft on them. They work as is - not for welding of course.

These wheels on my bodged belt sander have been going for a couple of years now- though with infrequent use to be fair

Once carbide drill in the biggest envelope.
I’ve never seen so many stamps, wtf

They must have been adding to the costs of the postage with the weight of all those stamps

 

[Olderisbetter]

I’ve just googled them, they’re all from 1980

I reckon someone has been having a serious corona virus tidy up and found all their old unused stamps

 

[Maker]

Got this unloaded today. What a beautiful tool.

How many stamps were on that?

I went for a run to shops. It was too bloody hot. As well as shopping I needed a drink so bottle of water and one westerns vintage 8% cider, which was chilled, but almost undrinkable. Small bottle of whisky which I had half and two spitfires. I have a 5km run home plus some lathe work to do later. Should have took the bike, too hot to run.

Got a T2 adapter and ring thing to connect my camera to my spotting scope!

That Gomu 20-60x60 is the only scope I can fit it to as the others either don't have threads on the scope to screw it on to or the eyepiece dia is too large for this to slip over

No threads on this one

This one is too large, Threads are around 46mm insrtead of 42mm

Oh, We acquired a sparrow in the conservatory for a short while, Cat was in there too, There were a few feathers on the floor but we got it out without the cat getting it properly!!
