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

[Beeezer]

I decided to assign my old Makita router to permanent duty in my router table. I do a fair amount of routing for our 'old house' project, and I was getting tired of the disassembly and reassembly time whenever I had to remove the router from the router table for hand-held work and then reinstall it in the router table. So a couple of days ago I ordered a new Bosch 2.25-hp router with a plunge base attachment and an adjustable edge guide attachment. It has both 1/4- and 1/2-inch collets. It arrived yesterday, and today I put it through its paces making several pieces of baseboard moulding (you can see a couple of pieces in the foreground). It works great, and I just ordered a kit with a couple of additional dust extraction attachments.

The compact welding helmet was much needed, but yesterday. A month has passed since the order, and the dealer brought it from the USA. Will come in handy tomorrow. Need to test. For some reason, Muller felt that the filter's fade level of #10 was an extra button. From level 9, jump straight to level 11.

Not expected. Shade level #9 - too bright, level #11, too bright, level #13, still bright. But the blue filter is more transparent than the filter on the 3M XXL weld mask. Probably, you need to get used to what you can see better.

Fair exchange is no robbery.

I hope the sender enjoys what they got.

Sometimes the best gifts are the ones with more meaning.

As some of you know I have a Lil human I look after when her mum works to bring in some more funds for the two of them.
I do it for no reward as lil human is a joy to look after. Plus fun.
Funds in the house are not tight, but are limited.
Last Sunday, right before I went away for a few days I had to fix Lil human bike.
We had to get parts, not an issue.

Today lil human spent her pocket money on me.

I’d lusted after this setup since I first saw it at the Leicester Rally in 1982, I’d got a nice example of the receiver last year but couldn’t resist the full monty at a good price.

So that is the rig, it looks superb!! No room for something like that in my shack as you saw. We will have to try 40m when you are set up

If I was honest with myself I haven’t got room for it here.

What you don’t see, should have took an aerial photo (pun intended) the heat sink on the Tx is a monster! It can do some serious 100W carrier duty cycle without a fan. I’ve got to make the link cable for transceive operation then I might throw a clandestine wire into the tree at the side of the house and give it a go.
