Nice, tried it on Mig yet?

Not yet Keith, I need to get a half size gas bottle and a few 5kg rolls of mig wire. Will do a review on it, first impressions of the arc side of things are good, certainly a lot smoother and more stable as an arc welder than my other small inverters. Will report back over the weekend.

Dropped more stuff of to the charity shop and was given a ex DHL Box.
To be honest, some of the stuff I get is no use to me. But I take it anyway.
"Don't look a gift horse in the mouth."
As the saying goes.
"Where's there's muck there is brass lad."

I looked into the box and was happy to ask what a suitable donation would be expectable. The staff said £5.
I was happy to give £10.

The Dross.
A Bubble stick.
Leather Knife.
Temperature probe, it does work.
Saw set or a sheet metal gauge. Not looked to deeply into that.
Pop Oil can. With oil.

AAAAAAARGH. Another one. Will theses ever stop haunting me.
Oh, yes it works, so not that bad.

Not The dross, but more useful.

Always useful to have more speedy clamps.

Not something you normally find in a Charity shop. But It was brought in along with tins of other components. But sadly that donation was binned.

I acquired this Blow torch yesterday, to be honest it is not what I need.

But boredom overtook me last night and I went out and had a play.

The pump was seized, but a bit of WD40 and it freed up, but more importantly it was holding pressure.



Not looking safe.

But extinguishers standing by.

View attachment 191868

This one will be kept, used by me.

 

[The_Yellow_Ardvark]

Yippeee.
Another pre-Med!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

A new hole and stiches later.
Fun!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[Munkul]

not today, but a couple of days ago... for the princely sum of £110

Plan is to make it into a very heavy duty freestanding welding positioner rotator.

Also aquired a siemens inverter drive through seperate channels for free

Picked up my free gift today

A Myford ML7, 1949-50 vintage. Been in someone's garage for the last 10 years after the owner died, so covered in muck. Depending on how much wear I find I will either refurb it and move it on or part it out. Been promised a box of accessories when they can find it.

As free gifts go that is a good one. Get all the dead tree out of it and enjoy.

PS. I hope they find the box of accessories, you can spend a fortune buying all the bits and pieces you will need want when you get a lathe.

 

[DAPPH]

Think I was told to stop when I'd added £almost 1400 to the purchase price of £350 for my Sphere lathe , well not so much as stop but more of , " I'll cut them off if you spend much more on that lathe "

 

[God mode restorations]

No significant rust, that's got to be a plus.

" I'll cut them off if you spend much more on that lathe "

Surely that would be counter-productive.....

 

[The_Yellow_Ardvark]

Today,thanks to 2 kind doctors.
A hole.
A new bit of metal inside me.

A whole bundle of drugs.

 

[slim_boy_fat]

Two steaks cut from a freshly-caught salmon - they, along with freshly-dug potatoes from a neighbours crop and some veg, will be tea tonight.

Mmmmhhhh........

I already have a nice Super 7 with a DRO and lots of add-ons so I don't need this for myself. I hope I can pass it on to someone who appreciates it.

Okay, this should be in the jewelry and precious metals department but I have been looking out for one of these for a couple of years now. My Snap On dealer called me quite excited, he wouldn't tell me what he had. He had never seen one before, only heard mythological stories about them and finally he had captured one. It was mine, for a price. It was not the REALLY eye watering retail price but I did hesitate. It will just remove some uncertainty from some jobs so the deed was done and I brought it home with me.

Bout £220 notes on eBay!

Do norbar not do one? Although saying that snap on now own norbar.
