[angellonewolf]

[Tinbasherdan]

Today I acquired.
All nice haul of bsw. Bsf. And bsp taps. Loads of drill bits. And a brand new unused 8.5 inch two jaw taylor just .the chuck will make a great addition to the three and four jaw Taylor's. View attachment 179515 View attachment 179516 View attachment 179517 View attachment 179518

i would be interested in bsf and bsw taps that youre doubled up on as all the stuff on our aero engine is one of the two

Also found this little compressor.
Never seen one. All works. A dear little thing.View attachment 179519 View attachment 179520 View attachment 179521

That looks the same pump unit as the broom wade one on my dentists compressor made in 1974

Now you just need a reason to have one.

Over lockers aka Sergers .

I've had a cabby on my daughters .( £ 99 from Aldi last year ) it's magic . Remade the pocket bottoms of a decent winter rain proof jacket where the material had parted , unpicked the bottom seam pulled the pockets out and double sewed them on the machine using the edge cutting knife on the first pass. Then used our standard lock stitch machine to close the seam again.

They are so easy I've purchased & cut out the heavy sweater shirt material & neck & cuffing material to make my own sweatshirts & welding smocks in heavy cotton drill .

Awaiting some free time to sit and sew them up .. made the patterns in carboard from a dead XXL sweat shirt and increased the seam edges out a half inch to make them easier to put on & take off .

A lidl special in all it's chinesium glory. These thing are impressive, simply because of their clever use of shapes and angles to get such a high load capacity from steel that is not much thicker than paper. A whopping 150kg max load, I wouldn’t like to try it at that weight but it is very sturdy and for what I need it for it’s perfect.

They do lean a bit, worth a diagonal brace between the legs...

Had a good day at a demo site!
27mm underfloor heating manifold spanner (expensive to buy new)


12 hardly used LED down lighters

Hardly used thermostatic shower,


Length of 3" trunking


And from Screwfix a diamond core drill set. It works very well

 

[Slowcoach]

Thought I’d start small, 3” jaws. If this was from you thankyou.





Think I’ll have rethink my Ajax. Only a penny shy of £1.

Apologies to julianthegypsy for not putting this up yesterday, but had a bit of a bombshell dropped on me in the evening. Anyway, thanks for the hospitality and cup of tea. Here's what what I acquired yesterday:

A cracking Pollard bench drill from my home town Leicester!
It's not Skol Parm, just San Mig from Tesco.

 

[jinjahbiscuit]

Ahhh...., no Tetley's apparently...

Great to see you, and glad it's gone to a good home. Now you know where to get a cuppa when you're passing too! Now what to put in the free 4 square feet!

Nice mower. First thing I ever restored was a Follows and Bate A3. I was 14. It was great fun (:

 

[pressbrake1]

Just posting this to show crazy Spencer427 what a two jaw chuck is for. Taylor chuck despite being superior must be a pita in two jaw applications

Have you any old mowers now or gone over to rotary stuff like most people. The rotary ones are easier for sharpening. I’ve got a lion side wheel, are they called, that’s in bits.

In England we had about 20ft square of lawn so it was ideal to ditch the hover mower and use the push mower.

Here in NZ we have a quarter acre so I’ve got this little husky ride on that can pull a trailer. I sold the push mower, sad but you can’t hang onto everything. I was restoring a winch a while back with a very similar mechanism, ratcheting on one stroke, happy memories came flooding back.

Today’s acquisition for $5 - Kincrome sliding T handle, cheap as chips... speaking of which

I like those pictures. What book is that from.

 

[Olderisbetter]

Today a couple of DeWalt items turned up, An angle headed impact attachment and a folding utility knife for my tool bag.

 

[sparkysy]

Both of those are excellent I also have them. I got the offset drive adapter for a tenner as well what a useful tool!

 

[jinjahbiscuit]

Had to move some gear..

To make room for this...

Many thanks to Nick for his patience.
No more acquisitions allowed this trip! Er, well I might get hold of some brazing kit.
