Are the wedges to get yer wallet open

No, for issue to shopkeepers to prise the hand(s) open and retrieve their money.

The charity shops round here seem to all be competing in the how-many-pairs-of-grey-sandals-and-beige-trousers-can-we-accumulate world championships

Im jealous cos im deburring work with a air pencil grinder in this weather! I thought my hand would never warm up again

 

[Memmeddu]

They are bloody good tools and handy if you pm me il put you onto someone on fb selling a dx460

I will probably get an obo one

So today my brother almost got injury because the angle grinder started when he plugged it
So I decided to give him my first powertool that I ever bought ,from today my W12-125Quick is property of my brother
So this is what he can write he here today
"Today I got as a gift from my brother a metabo W12-125Quick "

Out there are a lot of angle grinders that I could buy , my brother is one only
There are no money enough in the world to buy a brother
Now I have only to grain 140 euro to buy a new grinder to replace this one

Got this from 2 mates who found it in a charity shop, Radio and electronic Laboratory hand book looks like a good read.

the trick is to become friendly with the managers.
the big charities (bhf for example) have a *long* list of stuff they can't sell, and have to pay to dispose of - power tools for instance.
the managers also have targets to upsell things like little "heart" badges (for a quid each!)
so I buy 40 little badges, and dispose of their "rubbish" for them.
it's a win-win situation.

Today, I went to Halfords and bought this for £30. No idea if it’s a proper bargain or not, but very useful to me.

Only 24 steps per rev unfortunately

Perfect for kids projects though.

 

[Farside]

A cheap and cheerful chain-breaker / maker from Amazon (after I'd ordered it, I discovered the converted bicycle chain / camchain breaker I'd made years ago, doh)

And a set of Saffire 3 bagpipes oxy-ace kit, for propane experimenting with.

Are you thinking to use air instead of oxygen?

Are you thinking to use air instead of oxygen?

Yes, going to see how far I can go with it.

So today i acquired a leg brace after coming off my mountain bike last night.

Complicated brake just below a already damaged knee, just waiting for a call to find out if they are fitting the stainless Meccano Tomorrow or Monday.
As if life wasn't stressful already.
