I was always found in the kitchen at parties.
Smoke and a drink and decent conversation.

EDIT: Not that old....beat me to it....

Very nice! If you can avoid don't lift by the cross bars like the vendor has done as they are only there to keep the legs straight and bend, which then puts a strain on the top of the legs where they meet the cross table. My old one had fractured here which I reckon was from lifting it this way.

I used a couple of strops on the cross table at the ends and a engine hoist/tractor to move, they are bloomin heavy

Cheers,

I was not amused by the way he lifted it. I did make my feelings heard!
He did palletise it as best he could though!

I am building a big media wall which is made from 2 layers of 19mm MDF and the 38mm x 19mm timber is the face strip to give it a decent finish and make it resistant to damage and the bigger stuff is to make shelves in my pantry in the new kitchen, I also have a shop i rent out coming empty in a few weeks and i want to do some work on it.
This is my small media wall in my man cave flat part of my house.

This thread has reached 1000 pages, that's a lot of acquiring, good work.

Maybe we should start a new thread 'Today I De-acquired' about the stuff on this thread that was later sold on!

But I suspect many of you are like me & don't sell as much stuff as you buy, so it will take a lot longer for the thread to reach 1000 pages!

Yes a thread called "Today I De-acquired" and "Today I Re-acquired" would e good..

A rather nice Eastern Region British Rail enamel sign. These were found atop poster boards. They are not cheap these days, I’ve wanted one for years!

It's a travelling steady. Looks similar to the design for a lot of Harrison lathes, but then I've never seen a Myford travelling steady.

Got this peach the weekend from a good friend of mine who's father sadly passed away not too long ago and had some lovely machinery. I bought a Myford super 7 from the man himself years ago, and now I have his meddings drill to add to my workshop. A good clean and service and it will be like new

Not a Myford the Myford travelling steady attaches to the t slots on the cross slide a bit like the rear tool post.

ive a myford travelling steady and it doesnt look like this, the parts that steady the work are a different shape also, so perhaps something else.... looks something simlar though!

Finally aquired this.
S2t size.
Don't know if it is a genuine Dickson?
Looks well made though. Any ideas?

I don't know if it is genuine but it has the locating pin, some of the modern copies have the hole but no pin.
