Bought a scaffold yesterday, be very handy for house maintenance. Has an extra section to pop the deck height up to 6.5m.
Took me less than an hour on my own to carry it all round to the back of the house and erect it (not having ever done it before) and got the first job done - trimmed back this creeper from the window and eves.

Be careful having an erection at the back of the house & being caught at it

Youll have lots of new friends wanting to borrow that, very useful.

And they will -

Deny they have it then remember "oh yeah"

Leave it back with missing bolts, parts & damage. Claim "it was always like that"

Ensure it is suitably sploged in paint and mortar even though it was kept clean up to that point and its not theirs.

The last one was it?

I couldn't give mine away (from my mums . . .) - went in the scrap.

Ever wondered what £400 of plastic looks like from Games Workshop

We went to Warhammer World in Nottingham today...... had a great time but got carried away in the shop!

Got offered a makita ugga dugga 3/4 the other month... trouble is I use dewalt.. delivery from China has fixed that problem

Thanks to whoever on here who suggested the adaptor I bought. It also has a USB outlet so will need to disconnect the battery when not in use. But looks like it will do the job

Something exotic to repair my billhook arrived yesterday. Thanks. You know who you are :thumbup:

A used Bluepoint air ratchet from ebay. Model ATQ713

But it's got a pretty decent air leak all the time from the inlet connection

I Messaged the seller and may have to return it. I'll maybe try emailing snap on tomorrow if spare parts are available for it before returning it.

EDIT- Seller said to return it so I'll send it back and look for another one on ebay.

A mate had a multi-bladed knife like that.
It was funny hearing the blades go 'ping!' every time he used one.

Or the corkscrew that you screw into a bottle, pull and it straightens itself out, leaving a Cork with a hole in it it and a straight corkscrew!

The start of an expensive purchase. The £400 batteries should arrive today. £1228 in total.

Went to my favourite Wurth store yesterday and I get on real well with the manager there, I was scratting around for some paint (they didn't have the one I wanted) but he invited me to look in the "expired and damaged" box. A giant tub of hand cleaner FOC

. Excellent, our last one just ran out. It has a big crack right at the top of the tub so I simply emptied it into the old one.

Some of the stuff I had to pay for but the rest was gratis.

Then my new ER40 collet chuck for the CNC lathe showed up. How do you make this for £22 delivered? (ball nut was separate from ArcEurotrade)

I have a backing plate for it, I just need to set it up in the lathe and machine a register on it.

Bargain. They're the kind I wanted, but I ended up with some fixed ones at £60 for the four brand new. The guy who used to park his van in the way was my main use for the ones like you have, and he's moved out now so it's not an issue.

Posh people get their servants to de rust them , use Zebo black lead stove polish then paint nice flowers on them so they can be used as Chic door stops

And fix their shoes too...

Does your Worth store sell bread then - sliced, with anti rust sir? Or would you prefer self lubricating wholemeal?

I know, it looks like a loaf but I can assure you it was a big tub of hand cleaner, my favourite type.
