Today I acquired...........

[Gragson]

I bought some Piergiacomi side cutters a couple of years ago. They are excellent quality for £6.50 but I'm always looking for them, so I bought a couple more pairs so I can have a pair in the workshop, another in my office where I tend to do smaller electrickery stuff, and one in my mobile tool box.

I spotted they make tweezers too. My current ones are made of cheese and the tips bend, these seem a lot better, £16 for the set of four.

Would you have links? - my knipex ones have gone missing yesterday and went looking for some Irwin ones I had and can't find those either
At £6.50 I would get a couple and not be too miffed that as soon as they arrive I will find the others... Those tweezers look good too!

Had a look at the tweezers, I normally like stainless steel, how do you find the Aluminium type to use?

Nice shops down in Cornwall today had left this bundle aside for me.
Most is Ok, but I know you never look a gift horse in the mouth.

A magnifing glass, a seized chuck and a set of WD Imperial weights.

A set of 3 Bladon Needles.

A set of stencill cutters. They have been beged for allready.

A Ever Ready Hand torch. Oddly it is stamped:
Made In France.

Currently not working.


Oh joy.
Another wooden box.

The contents are very nice through.

Well you need work, they need work.

 

[Pete.]

I think that would make a very nice gift set with some care and elbow grease.

The Draftsman set?


I have a set of nice eyes giving me a look.
Or.
Can I have them please?

Got a 100mm er40 backplate to use my collets on a rotary table, would also quite like to knock up an adaptor plate to be able to use it on lathe. £30 from Amazon which didn’t seem too drastic considering they seemed to be a fair bit more everywhere else I looked.

I was just thinking i should put one up, I know a few of us got er40 collets when they were on offer at zoro...

Arrived in about a week, looks decent enough for the money...

 

[Pete.]

Missed out on those collets wen they were on offer I was bloody annoyed.

If anyone bought them and has buyer's remorse....

A friend brought scraper plates, from the Soviet BK6-OM alloy. Sharpening on 8 edges.

It will be interesting to compare with Sandvik plates and other manufacturers from Europe.

Something I didn't want!

When will you find out if it’s a boy or a girl?

Not sure about father, but I’ll let you call me “Daddy” if you want….

3 boxes of 6 volt bulbs courtesy of The Green Spark Plug Company as my stock was dwindling

Also a nice little Halfords cabinet that neatly fits the gap beside my Tom Senior:

A big box from Spain

A properly packaged bicycle tyre. £17 is not bad for a good branded one, delivered correctly.
Previous UK sent ones were folded and twisted for post, it bggers up the sidewall and buldges if they do that.

Amazon wont let me order any more could use a second.
