Todays acquisitions.

1990 MaxArc 200 amp DC welding thing.

Much bigger than expected, pint for scale. Love the design.

Câbles and bell housing spacer, connector, thing...

And an ex airport trailer, for moving car shells around.

Which seems to attached to a 2 X1 m welding table.

Guess what I got.
Go on, it is something I don't need, I have had many.

Fire extinguishers

 

[Jan-DIY]

Today is a good day.
Discovered about 3kg of i think 55grade silver solder for about nothing. Sure it is silver because of color and melting point.

happy Tuesday....

I got a a few black bags today.
I guess what was in 2, as the broke when loading into my car.



Theses are the bags.

The following are the contents.



Two Tilley lamps, both need new mantles and new pump washers. Anything more and we will have to see.



Oh my a stove, complete and a Roses tin.



What's in it?
What you see is what I know.



Oil can, full and a blow lamp.
The blow lamp is interesting, green handle Burnos and a twin hole main jet.




Few old tins, all full but ay the time of the picture taking I have no idea their contents. Plus a door knocker.

Hmmm.
Drilling holes, by chance.

For working where no mains power is available and you require more sustained drilling capability than can be provided by battery tools. I remember my Dad having a petrol powered drill the 1960s. It had a "Tas Motor" on it, if I recall correctly.

For fencing. Or railway building

Always wanted one but could never quite justify it, I like the idea of a drill that's much bigger than you actually need or can safely use

 

[roblane65]

[slim_boy_fat]

Fire extinguishers

Coals to Newcastle, then

Brilliant bits of kit, saves dragging leads and a genny about, same sort of grunt as a gut buster with the advantage the thing will stop dead as soon as you release the throttle instead of snapping your wrists off or rotating the world. Good for all the big blacksmith drills in steel and bigger timber bits for drilling sleepers/gateposts.

[Moose McAlpine]

Bought a couple more Abloys for my collection.

And another ¾" drive 19mm so i can keep a breaker bar with one in the van instead of just the silly little wheel brace.

Same as a cordless drill, from a time before Li-ion.

A Rasta mate of mine has just got a job at Syon Park in London:

Syon Park | The London Home of the Duke of Northumberland

Syon House and Great Conservatory, open to visit, and available for private and corporate events, weddings and filming in West London.

www.syonpark.co.uk

He has to add extra reinforcement to the iron straps bracing the roof timbers, but can only use battery tools as they won't allow trailing mains cables.

Wait for it...

It's coming...

He's gonna drill iron, with a Li-ion, in Syon.

Picked up this inverter suitcase generator last week.

Quite a sad tale from the previous owner. His Dad had breathing problems so was on pumped oxygen at home, the genny was bought in case there was a power cut. Unfortunately he died 2 weeks after getting the genny so it was never used!

£190 in screwfix, I got it for £80! Only 2 months old, he's sending me the receipt as its still under warranty. Only 800w but good enough for camping.
