Bl**dy chinese. You've got to be on your toes nowadays buying stuff on the internet.

Lashed a couple of these flat panel LEDs up, got to say I'm impressed, even at 4mtrs it's a nice light

Only down side is they aren't IP rated for much

It took me far too long to spot what was wrong there! Funny how the brain works at times (or doesn't work depending how you look at it )

If it's not seemingly stupidly expensive . . it's not Loctite, and I don't think I'd be trying it on anything

So new brake lines for my punto on this morning
Then I've got a couple of nice things

Starting with this Olivetti Synthesis cabinet for only 50 euro.
120x40x195cm
Heavy vintage quality steel very nice.
Unfortunately I have to break through the Lock because there's no key .
Then I have to drill through all the spot welds to disassemble it because it's too big and heavy to get it upstairs in my little homeshop.

another not so much heavy cabinet which is most likely to go upstairs again broken lock but I've got it for only 20 euro
55x55x170 roughly
I'm thinking about using it to store consumables.

Last but not least an old car jack
It works it needs oil and a clean up because it's little slow.
After loosing an entire morning to lift my car is a pantograph type jack I seriously could not resist
It was on my to buy list since I've been working on my car on 2023, I'm glad I've waited for it because it was only 30 euro

 

[theweldingchippy2.0]

5 things
A bleed controll kit for my harness
A figure 8
Laces for my saw boots
Some more 2 stroke oil
A dump pouch for my harness as well

I didn’t buy any Milwaukee tools today but I did get a Festool Midi dust extractor for when I do use them so I don’t have to spend so much time cleaning up after. I had to travel a fair bit to get it but as you see it’s hardly used and was a good price including the Bluetooth remote switch.

The mains plug is really handy I find when using the sander....can auto on the extract. Also really like the volume controls...so can set up the sander just right.

I have one to collect, it has no handle, but that's not the end of the world, best bit is, it's for free.

I’m a big Milwaukee fan but their dust extractors are really behind the competition in regards to using cordless tools and auto on functions which is surprising. Festool seem to have got it right with auto for wired using the socket and remote for cordless tools. When asking which dust extractor it’s always Festool that gets recommended regardless of the brand they favour.

It’s getting put to use tomorrow for sanding the walls in kitchen ready for painting so that I don’t have dust floating around the house for days on end again and suffer the wrath of SWMBO

Festool sanders are also lovely too...rts400 is what I have and it's lovely to use.

Box of 10 600x600 flat panel LEDs for the workshop, seemed cheap enough @ £112, should be a nicer light than the floods im using at present

I like the low profile. I may consider those panels (or similar) for our new garage, as I want to preserve as much ceiling height as possible to allow for a car lift.

Over here even trash have a price, not sure but this jack might either but an usag or an omc due to the age and colours beneath the grey paint
This one too needs a better handle, but it's priceless to have it handy when needed
It should be able to lift up to 50ish cm from the ground
