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

[Seadog]

Today I finally collected this.

Thanks to @Johnnybravo for the sale and a very big thanks to @Windy Miller who not only stored it for me but also gave me some compressor oil and a replacement cap for the one missing from the capacitor. Nice to catch up with you again, Andy.

A bit of cold tea in the receiver and not a sight of oil, I think I may just whip it apart to have a look at the gubbins. Does it work? Of course...

 

[Glen Vassallo]

Congrats Tangledfeet. Looks perfect. Don't you just love that feeling you get when you accomplish something?

I am being left alone, near a second hand/antique old tool shop.

I will resist.

Sorry, too far for me to rush and lend moral support.

Then teleport.

 

[slim_boy_fat]

Yes. Cross the road in front of the house and your in the North Sea!

Then teleport.

Like that scientist in 'The Fly' film - look what happened to him, so no thanks.

I have Told Mrs TYA the following.
"I was successful."

 

[The_Yellow_Ardvark]

I did say I was successful.
Yes.
Good.

OK then.


A odd glass bottle. With a glass ball. I need to look into these. I had a few when I was younger.



13/16-12 BSF American made. Was in the box listed below.


A drill sharpening device, looks complete. Again time was against me.



Another Coal Hammer. Better head than my last one, but a dead shaft.



Roofers axe, yes I liked the way the head felt. Yes it will need and it will get a new shaft. The cutting edge is still sharp enough to draw blood.



Never have enough spare
shafts.



Why? Yes I know I have a few, but this one was in the junk bin.



Need I say what this is?

The above lot was £49.00. With some haggling. The vice was priced at £30. But I showed the staff it did not move.

I tendered £50.

But I took the £1 in an useful form of coin.



Just a few items.

The plan for them.

Some are for me, some are to help my friends to learn how to restore them.

The Tilley Lamp, was saved from the scrap. As the shop found it had fuel in it and was unsure what to do with it.

Mate came around for a beer and brought these two trays he made for me on his press.

The plan is to make some little tools to be powered by the steam toy so grandson can see a bit more than just the steam engine running.

Thanks its a mk3 version formerly owned by Damon hill apparently

 

[arther dailey]

owned by damon hill? well if you could get him to confirm that in writing it would go up hugely in value

It's a modern edition, note the lack of gear change on the top bar to catch your knackers on!
I really really want one of these....

There is probably a crime reference number somewhere that could confirm this

Do you want to relinquish ownership of that vice ?

@Parm
I have a price. So yes.
