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

[Jan-DIY]

No they make big money on powder the likes of Eutectic and UTP.

Also spares are really expensive for that torch.
What I discovered this configuration is for plastic powder coating.
But it is also possible to zinc applying with some changes in nozzle configuration.

I wasnt expecting this to arrive. I'll have to get the tig out.

What's kind of tig torch is that?

One of his basic grinder racks, something I've been meaning to acquire for ages. My 4.5" grinders fit perfectly even though he went out of his way to check and ensure they would do, he even contacted me last Saturday as he made it before he went away on business - I did tell him there was no rush but he wouldn't listen!

Also, one of his owls - a (late) present for my wife's elderly Aunt. Designed for outdoor mounting in a post or fence but I made a wee stand for it, with non-slip silicone feet, so she can stick it in a window inside.

Many thanks Brad, trust you've been able to get back to the UK from Ireland okay.

I love what you’ve done with the owl. A lot of people have said oh I don’t have a fence post or tree to bang it into, that’s a Good solution. Looks cool too.

I got a 150mm DRO for the quill on my mill. I will post a pic tomorrow after I have fitted it (or a pic of how I ruined it/my mill)

Thanks Brad!

Smallest I have is 25mm box so it is, enevitably, overkill and it could do with being shorter (under the owl) and lower - maybe detracts from the owl itself.

[roofman]

Picked this up... a real air chisel

 

[Lewis_RX8]

A bangood set of milling cutters to replace my aging chipped and getting dull ones.

Wasnt sure about bangood but seeing double boosts (john) made me press the button not tried them yet but seem to look alright

Grind looks good to my untrained eye

To be honest the only reason it went is because I quite simply don't have room. They are miles away from the usual rubbish.

 

[Memmeddu]

Just ordered few things
Brembo Brakes discs and pads for my Punto MK2 on eBay
Chain brake band for my Jonsered from AliExpress .
Waiting for them

 

[chrisbeee]

Last week, i aquired this piece of copper.. its to be used as a heat sink when welding up my 40 year old seat pan

Today I acquired this

A new lathe
I know it's gone sideways, uploading photos has been fine all weekend but now everything has rotated
A massive thanks to @pete for bringing it up to me today (all masked up and covid safe) and giving me a quick rundown on it before the snow got really bad and he had to go.
I've had a little play and love it!
It's too cold now so time to warn up.
