Those things are turning up everywhere.....

 

[JOEPRO]

Some consumables and 2x more Record vices

 

[dan.taylor.1]

Seem to be easier to find than 3/16” bsf capscrews at a reasonable price!

I may have some bsf cap screws. Will check next time I'm at the workshop

 

[redlig]

Yes I really like it, I put a battery in it and had a play, but the mrs has taken it off me until Christmas !

Take that as a hint that she wants you to take it easy until after Xmas.

 

[Seadog]

£20 from the book of faces.
A good price, I thought.

 

[Barking Mat]

@Barking Mat come on mate,show us the machine you have plans for that if that was cheap i would be using that thing as a bench vice myself.

It's a Pinnacle, Bridgeport clone, yep, bigger than I imagined. (The vice).

Thanks @8ob ,

Have you tried 2BA?

Aye, we'll go with that.

Got fed up of replacing the battery on our Dyson...was lasting 5 minutes. Now this is a neat solution I think...

Make for quick and easy holes for plug welding repair panels to cars.
Bought mine for similar money in the US 20 odd years ago.

New automatic chicken shed door. The last one died, light sensor stopped working, could probably have fixed it but it was a PITA as the motor was above the chicken run roof and pulled up the sliding door with a length of cord. To change the batteries I had to get the ladders out, and when it snowed it covered the sensor and froze the cord to the roof.

This one uses a cog to lift the door via the slots in the door so all the bits are below the roof making it a doddle to use and fit.

That's a bit posh for chickens.

They even have their own security system

That looks suspiciously like a modern day French culling machine.

Don't forget to bung up the string hole in the roof, or the new one will be going the same way.

As a kid, I remember my dad getting into conversation with a Renault salesman about doing exactly that with one - I have no idea how, or why . . .and it now triggers a memory that somewhere, my dad's old one much be kicking about!

 

[Pigeon_Droppings2]

I was led to believe I was getting lobster for supper today...this is really not what I had in mind!

Not amused...not even slightly!

 

[minimutly]

Today I acquired two gurt machine vices, one for me and one for @Barking Mat courtesy of @dieselsamurai
