Thanks for that, btw, James, highly appreciated!
Will tell my boys it came from a real pro.

I acquired brownie points. And a light (cheers Kim for the recommendation.)
Mrs79 acquired a hoover. Well actually a Milwaukee but it’s not got the same ring to it

The vac is great little machine, mine goes everywhere. Just remember to remove the filter before using it as wet vac.

Says you don’t need to. Or is that a case of real life experience vs marketing bs??!!

Got these from the bootfair on Sunday, forgot to post the pics.
Set of wad punches for £8
And a nearly new chainsaw for a tenner. The chain was hanging off and the guy had cut through the power cord about 3 feet from the plug end somehow. He admitted that he scared himself so decided to sell it at the car boot and get a battery powered one instead. I cut the cord back and put a new plug on it.

Morning @Rannsachair where did you get the thrust bearing?
I need one for my Swinden and I might as well have it before I take it apart.

Probably quite a smart guy for realising that the tool would get him in trouble....better to learn after the first mishap than continue until you lose something important!

Neighbour gave up DIY and got rid of all his power tools, sadly before I got a look in.
I reckon the bloody Skil saw would have cleaned up but I'd have left the glove with the finger in!

A cheapish set of boring bars courtesy of RDG for my boring head as only 2 came with it:
