<Snip: museum no space for books>

Thats a shame, because i have a box full i was going to take over (since just before covid).

I'll have to offer them on here, i suppose.

the museum I'm talking about is Calderdale Industrial museum, if you're in Leeds they have a huge storage facility so I'd still contact them. I have got some brochures from local companies that they will take though. the ones Ive posted here are too generic so would be taking up valuable space.

I’ll get some good pictures later when it’s cleaned up and back together, also some sizes. Not sure what the centre height, swing or distance between centres is yet.




Oh, I already have the 3rd one and it sits between the Warco and the Wakefield. Trouble is I don’t have the room to keep it anymore and it’s just in the way, so soon to be coming to a sales thread near you.

If you cannot keep it anymore you could send it to me

.... a couple of small puffballs while walking my dogs.
I mentioned the magic word “ball” to someone who asked what I had and my dog spent the rest of the walk trying to get me to throw them for him.

^ Does anyone else have a dog that you have to say B A double L in front of?

 

[Pete.]

Mine gets excited by:
"Walk"
"Pub"
"Boot Fair"
"Bone"
"Treat"

I remember you telling me before, when i asked.
But, as i said, it was just before lockdown.

I cant say W A L K in front of mine, he also knows, Stroll, Hike, Park, Forest.... and is starting to realise when I put my ear phones in hes going for a wa... I mean a W.

My younger one also knows that when I put my work uniform on it's time for him to settle down, straight to his bed every time. He was exactly the same during my last job.
He's a staffy x lurcher, daft as a brush but very intelligent.
7 1/2 years old and still acts like a puppy. I love a dog with character and hope he never grows up.

They do say, that pets take after their owners.

Three floor sanders - a working Clark 7 edge sander and two Haywood drum sanders "for parts or not working".

A quick continuity test on the leads shows a break in the cable. Trim the cable and rewire, now all three work. Three for the price of one!

Anyone know where I can get a reasonably priced canvas dust bag now? I need two like this...

And one the same but smaller.

The next project.
Dragged out of a farmers barn. Needs some love as been sat there for 3 years. But need to do it safely for a mate who is having hip op.

A big customs bill
Although not quite as big as I was expecting, so I may have some surplus cash for a personal treat or two

Before being ambulanced of for emergency spinal surgery I was about to buy a Parweld True colour as I was struggling with my R_Tech XL and ended up using my ancient Optrel Twisty -my welding was poor - though being on tramadol and suffering severe back pain did not help.

While lying in my hospital bed the day after spinal surgery I saw a new Optrel Crystal 2.0 with a starting bid of £300 and no bids. I had read @Hood 's glowing reviews, anesthetic still in my system, on strong painkillers and I stuck in a starting bid, thinking I will never get it at that. Well no one else bid, so this arrived today:

So no excuses for not seeing what I am doing now.....though am not sure having a smartphone in your hospital bed immediately after major surgery is a good mix. I suppose it could have been worse, no new motorbikes being delivered

 

[Shox Dr]

Nice purchase @Rannsachair. I was using my e684 the other day, the first bit of welding in a few months. Fantastic optics. You’ll not regret it

 

[8ob]

Today I acquired three Transweld challengers and a load of wire feeds, I dont know why just yet

Proof I'm still buying tools
A bargain for 30 quid

 

[Memmeddu]

I don't how it's called but I know that it hurts my pocket
A Beta pop rivet tool?
Anyway no regrets I love this brand and it will give my money back tomorrow in few hours

Because you could. Who needs further reason.
