Today was a good day.
I got stuff.
Ended up in a second hand shop, well I was in the back of house area, sipping a brew and I saw this.
To must people a damaged wooden bucket.
Take a look on the rim, there are some metal brackets, now I know what they are for.
So I put it to one side for me. Then carried on chatting and was allowed to look in their dead metal bin.
Found this.
This is the inside.
I asked if I could have this as well.
I got this as well.
3 lumps of rubbish, unless you know what they are.
I found this pair on their shelf's and got them into my pile.
Now @Shox Dr Knows what they are, but for those who do not.
2 meths fuel camping stoves.
This is the last lot.
Nowt special.
The middle item is a jet cleaner for a Coalman lamp.
The first three items are not fitted together.
It is a Husqvarna Ice cream maker.

Today I acquired a portal to a whole new world of pain, one that I haven't experienced in circa 22yrs or so which was the last time I was a regular at the gym when I lived down in Englandshire; I've done nothing but cycling since - but that only does legs and lungs... and my core strength is appalling.
My understanding is that a rowing machine is second only to swimming for muscle groups used.
Like bicycles and various other products they've become rare as hen's teeth since lockdown #1, exchanging hands for more used than they would be new and I've had my name on the waiting list since before Easter.
Got the 'we have stock' email during a non-teaching period at school a few weeks ago... they sold within moments after that.

Would you be able to point me in the direction of your - Supplier etc - control panel and remotes for my mancave extension roller shutter.
At present my electric roller door is on light switches
Thank you.
.
It came from here https://www.in2access.co.uk/collect...oller-shutter-control-panel-single-phase-230v
There are a few models, that one was a tad dearer because of the motor requirements, worth calling them.

The other day I was given a load of tools, in the bundle was a old Rose chocolate tin. It was heavy, it rattled.
But the lid was nearly impossible to remove.
But inverting it and allowing a thin oil to seep into the lid and body allowed me to open it.
First view of the contents.
After sorting. The junk was dumped.
B&D holes saw, good hole saws, drills assorted.
The good bits, there was many more, but they wer no good to man or beast, or Norbert.
Decent C/sunk wood inserts.
Plus a bit more of the usable stuff.
The hole saws.
New and unused Raw Plug drills.
What was giving the tin the weight was this.
A Hilti DC 58 tool.
No idea what it does.
So this morning I took it to the north.

And it works. Mostly.
Installed Octopi as per their instructions.
Couldn't get it to connect via SSH using the IP address for some reason, so out of frustration tried octopi.local in the web browser and it connected.
Managed to install the drivers for the screen, but Octodash won't load on boot. Comes up with a "no screens found" error that there doesn't seem to be a definitive fix for, and I hate Linux at the best of times, so I'll survive without the screen for now. I might buy an HDMI screen at some point.
Uploaded a file, and it prints.
Also installed the Cura plugin, so I can open an STL, slice it, then send it to the printer with minimal clicking.

Yes, I didn't know, but google did.
It is up north now, closer to you than me.
If it is any good, I am sure we can get it to you.

I don’t need one thanks, I had one at one time………. But it was borrowed about 30 years ago, who knows where it is now.

Take mine away for a few beer tokens for MIS and you can recall the fun times of your youth.

An Ooni wood pellet fired pizza oven.
It heats up pretty quick, is small enough to take camping and the first pizzas turned out pretty good despite our ineptitude. By pizza number four I had got the hang of getting the pizza not to stick to the peel without flinging it in a heap at the back of the oven. I'm quite impressed.

I have a Kennedy canti barn. Next to the snap on no difference. It’s reasonably good stuff. A lot of it offshore.

Been very tempted by one of those. But i'm lazy and there's a really good pizza place down the road with a big wood-fired oven.
Today i acquired..
A print of Claude Monet's San Giorgio Maggiore At Dusk.
One of my favourites. Now i just need to buy a house to put it in.

That's the joy of tool donation's.

Some useful, some passed on by technology the rest junk.
