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

[brightspark]

Saw a nice Leo waterpump on local FB market place at about half the going rate, ad had been up 3 hours so I thought "no chance" but sent a message anyway, he'd still got it so I put my name on it.

Went to collect it this morning...

Got myself a 10ton porta power from MM today with a fast action pump!!

Got a cherry picker basket to repair and wanted one so thought sod it, I’m getting one.

I’m going to get a pulling ram next, doesn’t half make a job easy

 

[arther dailey]

I fished out four bottle jacks from my junk pile, none seem to be working, are they repairable or shall I bin them ?

That's the same one I saw in a film last night! They went to Machine Mart, I wonder if they had a 20% off voucher?
King of Theives about the Hatton Garden job! Michael Caine, Ray Winston etc. Good film, lots of swearing.

New tool time. Yet more Milwaukee but this time 1/2" M12 Sub Compact Torque Wrench and M12 Soldering Iron. The torque gun is very compact and should get into a lot of places I can't with the big M18 one and the soldering iron will be put to use later this week.

Today marks almost the end of the John saga.
Maybe 2 or 3 packages to arrive for me, unknown for Mini Me.
Then he is dispatched on Friday.

But this is what was waiting for me. Again each on in it's on box or tube.
I have many hours of bubble wrap fun ahead.



New Old stock Short sledge hammer shaft.

Clean up and an oil. Then we see what may turn up to fit it.




A Hammer, loose head and looks cheep.
No I will not fit it to the sledge hammer shaft.




LNER drip feed oil can.




A Railway? Or Road Patrol Lantern. There is a sticker inside what has BR Swindon on it and a date of 1973.
Any information you may have will be gratefully received.



THEY BREEEED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!



A GPO Ohm Meter, with Broad Arrow, no idea if it works, only just unwrapped it.
@mrsbruce Hello, is this what you've bean looking for?www.youtube.com/watch?v=PDZcqBgCS74



This get getting silly, another No 51/2 plane.



3 in week(ish)
This one has a decent, but nicked blade, but no forward handle.
So do I restore this one, robbing bits from the Stanley No.51/2 or get the bits to restore them both.
Watch this space.





Pump Action drill, I am sure it will take a bit holder and I have another pump action.









This was a shock.
It is heavier than it looks. Good condition. No makers name.


The above will be cleaned up and used. The Plane I am still making our collective minds on it.


No. I will not be fitting the small hammer head to the big handle.

2 coffee drank updates.

The BR Eveready Lantern.

Came with batteries.



Bonus.



Yes it does.
Would BR have a "Car Pool", and would they supplied a break down/ emergency kit?



Not GPO.




EX MOD, last calibrated in 1994. The kit is complete and the numbers all match.
Case and all the accessories.

 

[slim_boy_fat]

Would BR have a "Car Pool"

Vans perhaps? Or could they be designed to be carried by rail workers when on call ta night??

That explains a lot.
I thought you could read the Ohm meter case.

@The_Yellow_Ardvark
My dad had one of those lamps, he worked for Eastern Electricity in the 70's & 80's.
That was until he told the foreman to F off etc etc. He got an early pension and did well off it!

On Sunday I acquired the best bargain I have ever come across. Enerpac P142 700 bar hydraulic hand pump, full working order. All for the pricey sum of £4

 

[cianh91]

So basically spent a ball of money this week and couldn be happier
Went Friday to lidl got the bench drill mitre saw with stand and table saw (haven’t took pics) haven’t used the table saw yet it’s for an upcoming job but the mitre saw is lovely and more than I need for the work I do.
Yesterday I went and upgraded my cordless after 3 years of being used hard my 18v makita is getting bet I can’t complain as it was never designed for the abuse it’s took but it took it so new makita it is worked out cheaper to buy the kit and I need the impact anyway

A baby pallet truck. My oldest pallet truck is in the downstairs barn, and despite having seal changed, it isn't very well. The blue truck is bit too big for the workshop, I don't move pallets around in the workshop, only in the barn so the good blue one is going into the barn below.

The baby one will be used for moving machines such as the Rapidor hacksaw around that I use occasionally then put away, and the big woodworking bench around the workshop, I find I'm using pallet trucks for all sorts of jobs and if I make a bench or base for a machine, I always make it pallet truck friendly so it can be moved easily.

Cheers
