Today I acquired...........

[Woody.v8]

Was gifted this for solving a problem

problem solved

 

[Olderisbetter]

Comes with half a bottle of kerosene too

I don't know if it does and it will not be opened as it is going into my Lego storage collection, It is a bit of an odd investment but if you look at prices they do quite well, I have some open built sets on display but the trouble is kids keep playing with them

A vice, OK its a draper, but when a customer brings it in and says have this we don't use it, I'm not going to say no.
I think it was originally on a swivel base, the holes line up with the ones I have already tapped into the bench which is handy.

My first ever vice was a Chinese one, it wasn’t terrible but wouldn’t stand up to the same punishment an ‘unbreakable’ steel one would. It helped me out a lot when I was starting out, could be good for someone younger if you know they’re trying to get started in metalwork

I spotted this in a charity shop showed it to the other half as it's oak in my rush did not even see the panels in the side are not oak but shows it to the other half oh yes we could to with that it was used in a bathroom so had a lot of water damage hance the cheap 20 quid price tag come home after a days work and started sanding lucky the damage was in the wax not In the wood apart from the top that I had to belt sand to remove 95 percent of the damage and wax a lot with wire wool to darken it to match the rest it not all there but very near
And a telephone stand with storage for 20 quid (apart from I need more wax now)

I used to have a KE175 to play offroad with. Loved that bike, and have hankered on and off for years to get another bike purely as a build project (knees and nerves to iffy for motorcycling now).

You know you want to I'm still commuting to work on a bike 50 years after learning to ride.

I escaped yesterday.

Friend took me out and even brought me lunch.

On the way home I brought a tin of gold paint. £0:50p




I needed the paint as my gold leaf is inaccessible to me right now.

I used the paint on my Woden vice to highlight the name and details.




Oh, the drill?

That was free.
But "Sods Law" meant chuck works. But does not fit the 2 dead breast drills I have waiting for chuck springs/ replace meant chucks.

I have been offered a 247 engine for it, but I’ve heard that they are a real pain for starting and being 30 years old prob needs rebuilding.
Funnily enough I did think about putting a Honda motor in it.
I shall have a proper look at it this weekend and see what work needs doing to it.

I have an old Italjet and my plan is to put a Honda Engine into it one day, it also came complete minus engine! Start a project thread for your build it might give me some insperation to do mine!

Often it's the old crap carbs (Dellorto?) that cause poor starting, you can put a Mikuni one on and it makes a big difference.
I had a 250 single road racer with a heavily modified DT/YZ 250 MX engine that was a pig to start and ran badly , that had a Dellorto carb on it but when I got the original Mikuni off the previous owner it made a massive difference. Still weren't fast enough though....

 

[The_Yellow_Ardvark]

I acquired a bundle to day.

I also have said in the past no more dog sitting etc.
I am also still on crutches.

I have acquired "Defor"

Lucky for my leg, only for a few days.

It is not mine.

That's all to do with what Mrs TYA gets involved with.
