The rest, set aside for me from charity shops.

After acquiring a new welder from @ajlelectronics I thought I'd better treat it to a new helmet. These are over £50 on amazon but found one on https://own4less.co.uk/ for £25 new with spare lenses.

Also got asked to call in at my old workplace and got given a bag of goodies which was an unexpected surprise, including this, which will be thoroughly tested for 'quality purposes'

A Book, from a Member on here, on how to make floaty boaty things out of sinky sinking stuff.

Finally, a Clarke mini lathe. I say finally as I got it on Ebay a couple of months ago but it was south and collected for me by someone else

The Clarke Air Nail Gun I ordered turned up today (prepping for the forthcoming roof repair saga).
I've tested it with some of the biggest 90mm/3.5" nails - & it thumps them in all the way nicely. It's not as quick or as fancy as the Top-end kit, & of course needs a compressor & hose.... but I'm not a Tradey & this is a quarter of the price for a 1st Fix / Framing gun.

I also managed to score close to 100 slates for a few quid - I happened to mention I might need some, & I got "I've got a pile of 2" x 1" composite slates just gathering dust & on the way you're welcome to come collect"

New lights for the tractor, came with a free plastic caliper/vernier thingy, does that make me an engineer now?

suprising how accurate them plaggy calipers are . there good for measuring nuts and bolts and shafts that have krap all over them without ruining your expensive set or rough measuring on the lathe till near the final cut

When I pick up the £50 compressor I won in the same auction, I should be grand...

Jonsered saw in great condition thrown away because of one antivibration mount had broken, the whole set of mounts is only £6.75 and should arrive next week. I'll put a 12" bar on it and it will be perfect for zipping up branch wood .
