Yes Julian, but I'm very happy. I'm pretty much made up now, apart from some kind of saw, I'm complete! ( :whistle:

Had to go to the bigger B&Q today to get some more laminate flooring (they have changed their flooring lines and the stuff I need for the kitchen to match the rest of the house had been sent to the larger store to go on clearance) and picked up these 2 boxes of screws. 1400 pieces per box, one was £25 the other was £20. They should keep me going for a little bit, I was getting low on some sizes.

You can get those in screwfix too (same company as b&q). They are good value considering you are getting a really good box with them. The turbogold screws are brilliant but you'll get a scare when you want to refill the box - they are expensive!

Many thanks to Nick for his patience.
No more acquisitions allowed this trip! Er, well I might get hold of some brazing kit.

Nice one! Turn it around so it's across the timber wall and the headstock is away from the corner. It's a change-gear lathe and fiddling with the gears will get old very quick where you have it situated. Either that or put a low bench in the corner for the drill press to stand on, that'll give you half a chance at least.

Thanks for the advice Pete, nothing is screwed down yet, so things can be moved around reasonably easily. I'm presently building a bench for the drill.
There's also an old 1920's lathe in there that I might sell to give me a little more space.

Mine's set up with the headstock end towards the garage door for long stuff through spindle, tailstock end lined up with mill table so I can put a tailstock on it and get a few feet more between centres too.

Milwaukee M18 wet and dry vacuum

Already cleaned down the garage and cleared the dust off the rowing machine yesterday. Used this morning attached to the circular saw and much less cleaning up. Also found out found the blow function works great at blowing the undercoat out of our Malamute dog, which should hopefully reduce the hair dropped in the house.

Undercoating a dog, whatever next??.

If you had a pet fox, it would have its own brush

Have a look at this thing on Ebay ~ 372668395802

The one we have is not quite the same , mine has teeth like a fine hairdressers clipper comb head on one side , it flips over to present a round ended comb that's used to tale out the tats before you use the stripping head side .

This type of stripping comb helps remove most of the old guard hairs and inner coats that are aboi=ut o be shed . Do it before giving your dog dose of the vacuum & you'll be amazed at what comes off it .

This time of the year our collie cross is shedding hair in vast amounts , he gets combed every other day outside down the garden on a specially built 2 foot high by 2.5 x 2 foot rock solid table that has a rubber mat on it . He loves it , as a result the carpets & floors in the bungalow stay reasonably clean for three days at a time.

Tell me about it, that's why I went for these, few sizes I don't often need but for that price I couldn't turn them down, as you say the box is excellent. I've got several different sized Stanley boxes with various sizes in so might be able to re-purpose some of them now.
