Note the word.temporary.
The whole of the back wall will be covered In shuttering ply at some point so I can hang all my lathe and mill bits close to hand.
Need to shift a lot of the junk to the lockup first though.
Il take the time to make tool hholders from timber then. Fpr now screws will suffice.

All my tools are on site. Found a bit of mdf the right size and screwed it to the shelf brackets. Freebee milwalkie drill from howdens came In handy.

Picked up a cheap concrete edging trowel for a couple of quid and a Facom mallet for a fiver at the vintage rally in Dumfries this morning.

Had a really good edging trowel for years but it seems to have walked at some point

The mallet will be added to my bike bashing kit

I've got a rack for those bins. Might even have some spare bins but I know I have thrown about 30 of them out recently. If you want the rack you can have it for postage.

Cheers pete would be appreciated as long as postage isnt prohibitive.

Next month gonna be having a drive to organise my garage. Its depressing me now. Put something down and it vanishes.

Today's car boot haul. The carbide burrs are covered with a bit of rust and wood glue or mud. They should clean up fine and they seem in good nick. There was an empty tube in the bottom of the box that I found them in and it said "Procut Ireland" so they might be good quality. Might be Chinese rubbish too.

Tubela formers are 1,1/4" and 1" and I think 90 degrees. They go for silly prices new. Not sure I have a use for them.

 

[Pete.]

Bought a nice lathe chuck off a guy. Went to collect it and he invited me to look through some other stuff he hadn't listed yet.

Came away with over 300 milling cutters, 100+ reamers, some R8-1MT/2MT adapters and a few other bits not in the pic.

I'm currently trying the same, and failing. Just taken a roundbed into the house, (temporarily), which is one of two going. Only problem is, something's coming back in return. The intention of clearing workshop is there; It's just the implementation where I appear to be failing dismally.

 

[rtbcomp]

^^ I know exactly what you mean, my old lathe and scroll saw will be fleeing the nest , only for some new toys to take their place.

Jeez, if I'd got them for a quid each, I'd have been over the moon.
Eighty quid deserves a pot of jam.

Im getting there. 2.42.4x4.8 shed needs sorting and a chucking session. Mainly wood and metal in there now. Loads of room left in the lockup too.
Most worl related stuff from the garage is leaving for the lock up too.
Will have plenty of space. Jist need time to organise.

Note the word.temporary.....

When you do it for the final time make sure you really put them out of alignment then post loads of pics, it will get the OCD guys worked up into a real frenzy

 

[The_Yellow_Ardvark]

I need more space, but that is not an option at the moment.

So I went smaller.






It does work, lifted Mrs TYA Yaris, ok with a bit of wood as a spacer.

No pictures but today I acquired a visit from the armed police after someone was trying to break in to my mams and neighbors cars I didn't expect them to send the armed police

Most recently, a 90ltr Quad mount sprayer with 1mtr boom. Wants either a new pump, or if I can source one, a service kit for its current pump.

Previous owner couldn’t get it to work correctly, didn’t want to inform him that he had most of it hooked up to the tank drain so would never spray under pressure. £0.00 so far!



Warranty replacements from Whitby & Co.



Attended York Auction at the beginning of the month, ended up buying far too much timber. This is one pile of it, that I can’t name. All 8ft in length, but random widths, light, and very few knots or twists. Cuts nice, but it’ll have to be put through the thicknesser to get some useable pieces.. Any ideas what it is?

Collected this yesterday, so technically not valid for this thread, but I was too tired when I got back last night to do anything other than have a beer and watch the f1....
