Today I acquired...........

[Kayos]

I’m on my third one and that’s not going too well

Oh dear...

 

[Kayos]

Slim pickings at the car boot sale, I buy as many different ones as I can as you need several to do both props on the landy, no one socket fits every nut

 

[Hopefuldave]

EvilBay addiction dealt with, at least for the next few weeks...



Was a bit of a drive, discovered I was around the corner from where my aunt and uncle lived when I was a kid (and where we all went to catch chickenpox at an early age in the days before Medicine...)

I've moved out into the countryside far away from skips, now the old historic canal pumping station down the lane is being re-roofed, and I've ended up with ten 3" x 12" x 11 ft old rafters

I don't know how it happened.

I am on a mission. A friend has asked me to acquire some bits.

So I started, First place was a shop I only visit if and when I am in the area. Then only if I can park easily. Since they have appeared on the TV. it has gone to their heads. I give you an example. Old style bit and brace, £1 at car boot or £4 if cleaned up. They are asking for £10.
No.

Any way they didn't have the parts on my list.

So I left and went back to work.

But on the way back from the hospital(Routine check) I popped into another place.
No, nothing off the list. But it is a charity shop, so I did part with some ££££.



1/4" Rawplug drill. Sharp as well.



Hard wax repair sticks. Look new as well. Plus a applicator.


2 polishing mops, plus compound, screwdriver and 2 chucks.

One is from a bit and brace, with good springs, so will be used as spares. The other I hope will fit one or the other of the breast drill I am looking for chuck springs or a good chuck.

 

[The_Yellow_Ardvark]

The 3 jaw chuck, doesn't fit any of mine.
How well.

But, my friend has just left, dumped some new but un-sellable stock.



All returned from customers, where he works. All have bean opened, or have tamper seals removed.
The wax have had a tiny amount removed, so I am guessing the customer did not like it.
All the spray cans have the lid seal damaged, but no evidence of being used, just odd.
The "meths" have the labels damaged. One just has a a date written on it in black marker.
As to the bits, I just said thank you.

I nice gift, saved from land fill or were they go.

Today, a pal called to borrow spanners/sockets for a job on his mower and brought me a shoemaker's last which he'd found in one of his sheds...."because you do things with stuff"....

It's a small one, used I think for childrens' or womens' footwear. As yet, it's not been allocated a place or use on 'the list', but......

I got a "normal" sized one on my "to do" pile - I think it will make a tripod stand for a desk lamp I have planned:

I have a small (3in) vice that I'm going to take a mould of, and cast in clear resin, to make the "light" part

Like that?

 

[slim_boy_fat]

Like that?

...Ish... It's either missing one foot, or been designed to fit in a square like you get in an anvil. Pic will be provided tomorrow.

 

[Cobbler]

I’ve got one of those, I keep it under the bench to use as a anvil to beat sheet metal over. That was the idea, been there 20 years used it ........ once.

This big box

which contains nothing to do with welding

 

[Turbo]

22 MT drills from 1/4" to 1 1/8"
5 hand & MT reamers
MT sleeves, 4-5, 2-4 & 3-1/2" parallel.

16a commando lead, in good quality 2.5mm flex, no prizes for spotting the mistake made when making up the lead. Never mind, I got 10m of good flex for £6!

2 patio heaters, err I mean 2 calor gas bottles.

These are for gas central heating & have a male outlet connection. That's why I got both bottles for £10, the orange 47kg cylinders usually make £30 each!

Phone's charging, pics later. A quick look would indicated that it ought to have three 'feet' and one's been broken off
