I received some nice plumbing kit!
This manifold and another the same for the opposite side is going to be for the downstairs heating in the house when I get round to fitting it all!
It's getting cold now so I have to pull my finger out!

You mean you didn't get one for the workshop too.

Underfloor heating or European style plumbing?

European style plumbing? I'm Assuming that's what I'm doing. Wall hung radiators run with soft copper coil under the wooden floors, no joints to fail. Yes expensive but so is ripping up solid oak flooring if a soldered joint springs a leak! Also we are out in the woods so do get mice etc and I didn't want to risk using plastic pipe as they do eat it! and of course all those push fit joints!!!

Well I'm thinking of running a pair of pipes out to the workshop if it ever gets built! The exisiting garage is not insulated so not worth heating.

Yeah everything run to a manifold is european, they use a lot of mlcp but with it being "odd" sizes it isn't popular in the uk, it really should be as it's great

It's going back! I only got it to try making switching over to winter alloys easier on myself.

I haveHave you got the SIP jig borer to sit it on yet?
Spencer is without doubt the most crazed tool hoarder Ive ever met.
He doesn’t even need to know what a machine or bit of tooling is to sell his soul to buy it!

You say that, like it is a bad thing.

I bought a cheap set containing a drill & 1/2" impact driver years ago. The driver doesn't have the torque to remove wheel nuts but if you crack them first with a bar it will spin them off. Likewise it tightens them just enough to finish with a torque wrench.
It will handle up to M8 bolts very well & just about torques M10 fully. Great when stripping an engine or for removing a sump pan.

The main reason I got one was to do the initial loosening - if I have to use other tools then I might as well carry on as before. Any other 'jobs' I'd have for it would have been ancillary to that prime purpose.
Lesson learned, I suppose.

...well, yesterday actually....
This little gizmo
It’s called The Bard’s Headspace and is basically a headphone crossfeed filter which feeds a tiny bit of the right channel into the left and vice versa to make listening to headphones more like listening to speakers.
It seems to work really well, less fatiguing than having the sound squirted directly into the centre of your brain.

A 9 hour, 360 mile round trip to collect this beauty from @julianthegypsy
I believe the next item I bring home will result in me being stabbed, hanged, drawn and quartered.
Can’t believe how many times I’ve driven past your workshop without realising.
