Many thanks @pod70 for dropping this down.

Stripped to check wiring before testing

Motor runs fine after oiling the bearings and spindle bearings are good.

Quick clean and a spraypaint to tidy up next weekend and back together.

His fault then?

^^
Who did the risk assessment?

It was done on the fly. Fags allowed, no drugs, plenty of beer and spirits. Bottles of water chilling in the fridge. All ok me thinks

 

[Parm]

Of course, I blame him totally. It was the bottle of Sailor Jerry that he bought, it’s different down south

I have acquired a nice day out, with friends. I acquired a nice pub lunch and then a bimble round a Local city, we avoided the police and the closed of areas.

The boot sale was disappointing, but we did stop off on the way home for a few jars of foamy ale.

Now sat at home with ice creams.

You'll be having withdrawal symptoms then?

You'll be having withdrawal symptoms then?

I think iron deficiency is the correct term!

This weekend I managed to get a handle for this hooked slasher I got on Friday. A nice cheap online auction win, it’s an early Cornelius Whitehouse ‘hedgehog’ one. The lady I bought it off said it had been in her family for a hundred years.

Today, or tonight, I acquired a BOC account. Not for the want of trying, I'd have opened one a couple of years ago, but the Irish BOC site continually redirected me to the UK site, and I couldn't open an account with non-UK details. Shome IT mishtake, Moneypenny.
Anyway, I had a look, and if I start dabbling in TIG it might be worth my while to get something from them - deep ends if they drop their prices a bit, because it's teetering in the balance whether to go with them or simply get a rent-free deal from Galway Gases. If BOC Ireland wake up and offer the Hobby/Volkszone deal to customers, that totally changes things.

Go in to a local agent and see what kind of deal you can get. I was surprised, never even asked for a price and they gave me an E33 for half of the online price and rental, likewise, was much cheaper than online.
