It’s this one:
Entrance on the left takes you through to the rear of the post office with 2 small antique centres, leading on into The Penny Black coffee shop.
I think I have 6 small grinders, enough to have each type of disc fitted on a grinder but if I need to do a lot of the same type of work I use the Metabo 5" every time. The extra power gives you more control & you can use it for forever without your hands cramping up. The only drawback is the body is just a bit too fat to be confident using it one handed.
That would be Pattersons spade mill.

Never been myself but on the list to be visited some day.

Today’s finds - I restored the Moore and Wright scraper set, a nice find for $30 and I think I can sell it for a profit. Also got a pair of Whitehouse loppers. @The_Yellow_Ardvark here is my small collection of Whitehouse tools.

I have about six too, but only use three, cutting, grinding, flap disc.
I recently bought a big 5 inch with variable speed, quite good, but like you say, too big to hold comfortably in one hand. That one is in the storage shed, as a back up spare.
The three I use regularly live on a handy rack right next to the vice, where they play their trade.

Me and my wife were at Newlands park in June and we looked in there.
I also went to The Tunnel three times , a couple of miles away from where we were staying and I shot some 1940's Lee Enfield, Mauser and Mosin Nagant.

a proxon "rotary ratchet"
works like a normal ratchet, but the ratchet can also be driven by twisting the handle - via a 1/4" drive if neccessary.
£23 for the 1/2" size, and seems to have good reviews. We shall see.

My dad has one of those, and raves about it. Admittedly it doesn’t get abused but he hasn’t wrecked it yet.

i've got two or three "normal" 1/2" ratchets. but sometimes, there is just no room to swing the handle at all - even with a couple of universal joints and extensions.
hopefully, this will work for the odd situations like that.
its not going to be an everyday use thing.
got a bahco, and a facom for that.

With bad weather forecast for the weekend, my Wife & I decided to go for a meal at Witherspoon's in the town over the hill from us. While waiting for our meal, I took a quick look in the charity shop just across the street and found these two Record vices ( I think you call them cramps here in the UK ? ), a number 153 and a number 153A.
They are heavy boogers, weigh about 15 lbs each, and the cam jaws open to slightly under 4 inches. Don't know what I'm going to do with them yet, but I couldn't pass them up for £5.oo each.

Both are in good working condition, and the only difference I can see between them is the push plate. I've often found good tools in the Maesteg charity shops.

Today I aquired a puddle of hydraulic fluid and a clutch pedal that pinged to the floor and stayed there.
May also have aquired a 65 plate transit to replace it.
Not happy.

How the heck are you going to get the transit in the footwell?

leave it out in the rain, then sweep it up and shovel it in.

two set of bronze castings for a Wadkin PK sliding table saw double mitre
When completed, they should look a bit like this although the originals are cast iron.
Why bronze? A friend was having some cast in bronze and asked if I wanted some, saved me a job of making a pattern and finding a foundry plus I think it will look cool when completed.
This is a fully working Wadkin PK in operation
Cheers
