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

[Kram]

Arc rods from @Tangledfeet, thanks!

I needed a run so went up to lidl for shopping, furthest local shop. My legs were heavy on the way back, not helped by 27 quids shopping.
Got the last packs of arc rods. Heavier than they look! So plenty of rods to practise with now.

It'll be interesting to see what you think of the branded ESAB OK 46.30 6013 rods compared to the Lidl rods!

Lol see a lot on old music gear.

Look closer. Top units mine. Already had the usb conversion done. 80 quid to buy the drive. I paid 108 for the whole thing. Happy chap tonight. Can send this piece of junk back and put it towards the s2000

Sanding and painting day tomorrow.

I'd 'like' that, if I knew what it was/did....

@minimutly It's an old Epco, it's great. Although it needs some new seals for the bottom ram pin which functions as the oil feed as well.

Had the same problem with mine last year, IIRC the seals are BS210? should be available from any decent hydraulics engineers , I used a ratchet strap from the garage roof truss to hold the arm whilst taking the lower ram pin out

Sample audio from any source I can plug into it.

Edit it or chop it up. Lets me designate a command from a music keyboard to trigger them.

Could do it with my pc but I'm trying to move away from daws.

As I hit a roundabout first thing this morning I saw a large adjustable spanner laying there. Went round again and picked it up - a nice 18” draper expert

Nice find.

@nickk do you live on a boat?!!!If he doesn't judging by the rain on the windows and the "damp" condition of the fields I think he might soon wish he did.

Still using the hammer found in the road on the was to school in "56. I think it was that which started my lifelong refusal to ignore anything that might come in useful One day.

I was simply doing my duty for safety of the road using general public - I can only imagine the damage it would have done if it had been flicked up and hit a windscreen

My big sledge hammer came off the back of a truck and collected by me. Still going strong

In my defence (if such a thing is needed) it was free and pretty much exactly what I wanted for restomod part 2
