You're not trying to dehumidify the whole street, are you?Coming back to this I'm actually shocked how much water it's pulling out
So far it's about 7 litres!!
I have been using " to good to go app " for a while, if my timing is right I have a Toby Carvery aout 4 miles away, If I have the GKs over I can feed the whole lot for £15, well worth it and they enjoy the nosh, its good, topped up with home gravy, nothing gets wasted.
However using it for Lidl was a serious disappointment, on both occasions basically what I got was Snail Food, salad and a lot of it, it seemed to me they were getting rid of salad and very little ordinary food.

It'll continue to do so, probably. My flat & workshop dehumidifiers are left plugged in all the time, (set to 65%, if I recall) & I empty them every few days.

View attachment 468517View attachment 468518Picked up a Starrett 18A centre punch from Amazon on their prime day deal for a tenner - well free really cos I got work to pay for it
I’ve had a cheap no name Screwfix special for years but it’s nice having something decent. Was going to get the bigger 18c model but this is perfect for the typical stuff I do, mainly electrical panel work.
Thanks for the tip. Just ordered the 18C as well. Just shy of €25.

After a week doing 7:30AM to 1:30PM back to work after lunch at 2:30PM to 7PM and yesterday doing 7:30AM to 2PM back to work at 3PM to 8PM shifts at the machine shop.
Today has been my really first day off in the last years.
Boss hired an electronic technician to repair our waterjet, but he soon realized it needed a lot of components wouldn't be delivered in time so he attempted to convert our computer controlled milling machine to modern standard CNC.
For the entire week the technician worked along with me and another colleague on the mill.
Brought in all my testing equipment and electrician tools.
Helped a lot with wirings and panel components installation.
But spent the last few days to seek for parts and materials going shopping around during the mornings, still completing my normal tasks in the machine shop and running it on my own on yesterday while working on the mill too because my bosses were out to address important personal stuff.
Useless to say I came back home completely destroyed on yesterday but I'm proud of being able to have done all that.
So today I've spent my entire day sleeping waking up just for eating.
It's the first rest time in a while, I usually get up early and work on my stuff anyway but not today.

A Warco WM18B Mill, was planning on getting one of these sometime next year, and while browsing Warco's site looking at bench grinders, I discovered it was on sale at £1886 instead of £2695, figured I would be a bit of an idiot to miss out on that sort of sale. Had absolutely nowhere to put it, didn't have any plan for moving it around the back into the workshop, didn't even have enough money saved yet but borrowed from Dad and ordered it anyway 
Built a ramp down the steps and all the random single steps between the front of the house and my workshop, ordered a sack truck online and then walked into my tiny workshop and said to myself "what the F have I done", proceeded to move 4 welders, rip a light duty bench out and all the storage that was below it. (Which is all that stuff is now in the house for the time being)
, and then delivery day yesterday, Sack truck got delivered at 10:45 and the mill got delivered at 11:15, a bit too close for comfort. Took the DRO off, removed the table to cut the weight down somewhat and then proceeded to drag the mill onto the sack truck, blocked it all out and ratchet strapped it to the sack truck and proceeded to move it into my workshop.
The plan for now is to leave it on the floor for a bit until I can get around to building a decent heavy duty steel framed bench, at which point I'll install a chain block above it, hoist it up and build the bench below it, reluctant to do anything too permanent as I'm thinking of doing a containerized workshop sometime next year in which the mill will be getting moved to.
The best part of all of this? I forgot to order the bench grinder.

Given to me, from a neighbour, as it will cost to much to have a new plug fitted.
Old school Pifco lantern.
Again, a donation as the old owner could not get it working.
Nice big drill chuck for my m300 lathe (not the one shown).
Along with the chuck and a few other bits, I also acquired some collets that I don't need. They were marked "PC Vert head". Does anyone know what machine they belong to? I've already had a look on Tony's lathes website and drawn a blank.

I ordered these, a while ago, & whilst I was undecided regarding quality, initially, they have performed perfectly well in use.

I tapped the rear of the oak beam with the larger holder.
