Double acquisition:
I decided to install a scissor-type car lift in our new garage instead of a two-post lift, so I ordered a full-rise 3500 kg capacity scissor lift, which just arrived, and I used my newly acquired forklift adapter for my front-end loader to remove the scissor lift crates from the delivery truck. Here you see the largest and heaviest of the crates (1700 lbs) sitting on the forklift adapter.
I'll unpack the lift tomorrow and post a few photos.

So on the salvage/repurposing side and nothing metal (except a million nails and screws).
Been lucky enough to be able to take down and recover 6" x 6" Douglas Fir posts, 3.1m 13off and 2.4m 8off.
Still have 4 or 5 to collect, I think 2 are full size 3.1m and a couple that'll need cleaning up as they broke coming out of the ground.
The shorter ones are cut to clean the sharp breaks, they snapped when pushed over and end up around 2.4m.
Fence slats, cleaned and stacked 2.4m 342off. There's a new pile waiting for nail removal.
Including 3 x 2 lengths.
Everything will be jet washed, gently. Then treated with a solution of Sodium Percarbonate with Cocamidopropyl Betaine 30% (Amphoteric Surfactant) added to encourage adhesion. Once on the product removes and kills algae and discourages regrowth. Once it's finished doing its job, after around 30 minutes, all that's left is oxygen and water, so safe for the garden and animals. Simply rinse and leave to dry.
I did a couple of test slats and they looked like fresh bought wood when they were dry.
The 6 x 6" posts are going to be the frame for my new garage, hopefully traditional mortise and tenon. Final designs not finished but planning approval for a 6 x 4m structure received. Mrs. Jaeger doesn't want it that big, but it's my garage, not hers!
The 6 x 6" are quite heavy, hence my wanting the gantry and pully lift (there a bit of metal to finish on).

We use this on our wood deck once a year...comes up like new. We usually spray it on the algae and simply brush it in...leave 30 minutes and rinse it off.
It dislodges the green so there's less need to be heavy handed and risk damaging the wood I find.
I reused 300m of fence d rail. I pre treated it with a mix of hypochlorite and tfr and left it a few hours to work. Then I pressure washed it down. It was well covered in black and green algae but it came up like new.
You're looking to hide your new chain hoist! You've got no chance with a big garage.
I've not used this before. It looks as if those "Oxy" stain removers are generally sodium percarbonate with surfactants etc. Is that what you are using? I have some of the Vanish Oxy powder, so might have to give it a try.....

Hovercraft? Go on you know you want to
There is a guide on youtube on modifying a lawnmower engine to run as a horizontal shaft.
The main job was modifying the splash lubrication in the sump and the inlet to get the carb horizontal.
Blimey!! A mower gang!!
Motorised kids roundabout or sell as parts and put the money towards something else.
Gokart would work with a vertical engine just need a mower drive train/differential but at that point you would have an easier time just converting the mower into a race version

I struck gold!
At the auction where I bought my 'new' lathe there was also a Victoria Dividing head lot. The same style I have which @RobCox refurbished a while ago (https://www.mig-welding.co.uk/forum/threads/victoria-10-inch-dividing-head-refurbishment.128311/).
On the photos, there were no additional dividing plates. I assumed they were missing, the same as mine so I did not place a bid on the dividing head lot.
My lathe came with a cheap plastic toolbox and guess what I found in there?
Two Victoria dividing plates!
What a lucky find.
There were also two other 'random' gears in there (100T and 86T) .
I will get them measured and sell them on the bay. Somebody might just need them for something.
Some other poor sod now have a Victoria dividing head without the extra plates

Tell them what you have, and you believe they'll be grateful to acquire them.
Happened to me, I bought a box containing an important accessory for another item that was in the auction, I knew what I was buying.
I received a call from the winner of the other piece and sold the box to them, it didn't even leave the site. That sale paid for my action of other items.

Ooops sorry.The gears
Thought you meant the dividing plates
The gears are ofc not just 'random', they are for something. For what, I don't know.
