Bought it from a pawn shop!
i have just decided i need one of them in my life! are the quite a rare thing?
thats one pattern i am short off, it will be the tassie quite well worn but a nice stamp on it. i have one of only 2 known 2 lb welsh pattern axes with the wednsbury forge stamp, yes i quite like axes haha
From a ship’s chandlers in Milford Haven just now.
Admiralty chart for the Gower Peninsula, as I’ve fallen in love again with this part of the country and might get back for a few days’ scuba diving in September, a couple of shiny carabiners, coz us divers can never have too many
, 2 lengths of gorgeously soft 3 strand rope for painters for my canoe, and a fid for splicing eyes in them.
And had an impromptu lesson in eye splicing from an old boy in the shop as well. I can do it but it never looks right, so this was one of those serendipitous moments

Nice find!
Are those 4 x 'XXXX's to the left of the "Made in England" in the first pic? [I'm thinking maybe it passed through OZ on it's way to NZ

Some naughty person before me has gripped this in a vice for some unknown reason.
Some filing will be required. I’ll grind and polish this a little bit before I put the shaft on it.

Good haul today,
Visited the works garage for one of the vans and was allowed to rummage in the scrap pile, happy days.
12 tonne weber hydraulik jack - topped up the oil and now works a treat
Jack leg from an MEWP - For a hydraulic press I am planning
Hydraulic power pack for a tipper van - condition unknown

Got a new Makita 5" grinder. 1450W, so not short on power. I wanted a "compact" grinder in the design of the 9" grinders.

My grandad showed me how to do them he said if they don't look good put them on the floor and roll the splice under your foot. It works too.

From the 'Bay of everything, another grinder [I've stopped now, honest ] £8.50 + £5 p&p
Box is marked £49.99 [ Google seems to think that'd be about right
], reduced to £39.99, mine for a lot less.

I have a pair of the predecessors of that. Really nice little grinders.
This Makita was £125.

Thaqt's the standard way of finishing any splice. Taught that in the scouts.

The Last of the John packages.
Plus a few from the "Rummage bins at a second hand tool shop.
Brand new roll of plumbing solder. No idea why.
Sliding clamps, will be useful.
Lathe centres?
Yes. A thing.
Looks like a flat bit. But no cutting edges. Was wrapped in wax paper, so new.
Looks shinny.

few bits waiting for me when i got home today, My trusty corded bosch multitool burnt out the other week, it's served me proud over 15 years so can't complain. I've bought a new one, gone cordless this time. I love these oscillating multitools especially with a Bi metal blade for nipping bolts/screws/nails off etc. Few bits from the 600 group for the lathe too.

This lot was saved from the rummage bins.
Sadly most gets sold to up-cyclers and is seen in the local car boots sales and a few up-cycling shops.
Found this plane blade, loos in the bottom. I hoped it would fit the No 51/2 I have gpt.
It didn't.
Nice Box wood and brass folding rule, there is a name on it. I hope it will show up when it is cleaned up.
Another Pocket Watch Volt meter.
Ex MOD RN soldering iron.
WHY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
WHY!!!!!!!!!!!
would any sane person do this.
Another small brass blow torch. The Washer is good and it does pump and holds pressure.
A Record No. 735 plane.
