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

[pawsnizzy]

I have a feeling they come in a multi pack

Probably compression glands

 

[The_Yellow_Ardvark]

A few things came my way today.

A army tin, a Zippo and a leather holder, a syringe, a hammer head, with jammed marker pens. Plus another hammer.

Pongo and Bootneck make up.

Needs some TLC.

Should only need a good clean and tidy.

It needs flint, wick and a clean.

Resin, varnish and some dye, for a MIS project.

 

[The_Yellow_Ardvark]

I also got this tin.

Plus this box.

Took a bit of work to get them open.

King Dick BA WD/MOD 1/4" socket set.

A tidy BA Tap and die set.

 

[The_Yellow_Ardvark]

A Caulking hammer, this needs a lot of work.

Finally, the weight of my box was made up by this.

My wife said the same when she met @Barking Mat !

That's one hell of a career path change.

New mitre chop saw, I knew it was going to be big, mug for scale, screams like a banshee but no worse than my old chop - just a lot bigger & power.



Refound these in a box looking for ext cabling for saw, forgot I had them, make night like day in green, lot of IR power & decent magnification

I can’t recall the timing, but he did a bit of industrial rope access too which I think led to this.

 

[dobbslc]

Not today but Wednesday after the Surf / emulsion paint interface!
It's a lot bigger than I thought it would be!
Mug and cat for scale.
The guy threw in a bag of grit and it's got a foot pedal, should do for blasting the Surf's trailing arms etc.

Yesterday.

After @arther dailey 's thread about torches (or flash-lights as all the cool YouTubers now say), I went and had a look at the Olight sale.......

Two for me & one for the missus plus a couple of "free" gifts.

Made in China, but definitely a premium product, they have "that" feel!

Normal prices are ridiculous, but with the sale and vouchers this lot came to 144 quid.

Do I "need" them, not really. But when did that stop any of us?

Take note everyone. That's how you justify any purchase. ^^

 

[Hood]

I never have to justify a purchase, it always falls into one of two categories.
1. I wanted so I got
2. I didn't really want but I had to because something broke.
Simples as the meerkat says.

 

[MattF]

You're preaching to the choir with me, on that point.

I was putting that out there for the ditherers.

 

[pcwizme]

Reckon you could do me something along these lines?

Problem is i'll only be wanting small quantities and all the big firms want you to order 100 odd

If Hood cant help I have a laser with an IR head that can do those in not a lot of time and just down the road (a12 is a long road though) to you

I've managed to acquire a few Olight torches too. Black and a Green Seeker 3 pro, Black Seeker 3, Black Baton 3, Gunmetal Warrior S, Green IR2 and Green and Orange Gober.
They are really well built and designed. Not sure if worth the money new but so many end up as drawer queens, never used and then sold to feed their desire to own the next release and I’m willing to pay the used price for a second hand but unused torch. Same seems to happen with Leatherman's too.

One of my least favourite paint colours,somehow,matts ok when it’s 50 years old and the gates rusty and weathered,my favourites most shades of grey and certain greens,satin blacks not too bad. This product is water based,wonder how long it will last?
The drills are from a regular supplier where I also get core drills from.

I'm of the same mindset. Don't mind satin's at all, but matt just doesn't do it for Matt.
