I thought it was missing a 'g' but no.
'Free Rein' or 'Free Reign'?

I know, I know, I know, nobody can be so stupid to build a new project on an outdated standard,
the new stuff is comparatively much cheaper than the old stuff was back then
and that's the only way to keep your project open to the future and get spare parts for a long time to come .....
BUT:
a) I have had the experience several times that I only found out what I should have bought in reality after buying the expensive components when dealing with them;
and
b) these parts here were really dirt cheap.
According to this self-imposed rule, this stuff for almost no money is the stuff I try around with and learn to find out what I really want and need - that's what I buy then, so the theory ...
Then, as always, it's all provisional .... unless it works ...

That's how I was planning to do mine, if I ever get round to it. It doesn't count as an unfinished project, as I haven't even bought any of the parts yet

Funny you should say that. I asked for a ladder to get some weeds out the gutters and was told "We get a cherry picker in for that". I definitely don't have a IPAF card and I'm certain no one else here does, so I wonder who's using this lift.

That is the remains of some sticky solution that covered it and the sliding bevel.
But as it is the internals of the chuck I think will be of use to me, I care not.
If it is junk, car boot will be it's future.

Treated myself to a few different T27 torx drivers for working on the chainsaws.
This one is a gem
And so is this one from wera,
Little Bosch bit driver ratchet works a treat on it.
Also stocked up on M5 bolts
And bought some 5ah batteries for my old Dewalt gear.

Not necessarily local wood but if Pete comes by it then he will buy local.
About a mile from the house.

Radiators, mainly new 1 or 2 used short term, then a monitor and Panasonic TV with all the old inputs which is ideal for old consoles.
