This is the first project I've acquired, since moving here.

What was its purpose

It's that 8 in 1 I got from Rosinante. Old magazine ad of it attached:

2.2lb of wild bee's wax.

No idea what they fed on but it is a fantastic smell.

Some times it smells like a grass medow, or a rose, or lavender. All depending on were you rub it.

I reasoned that the money that I could have spent on a secondhand carb, around £60, in effect means that the cleaner has only cost me £30. Assuming, that is, that it achieves the desired result

Perfect logic, to me and I guess most others on here.

Sounds like something my boss said a few years ago, dealer wanted £4000 I think to fit a front pto to my tractor, he said that was too expensive so bought a whole new tractor instead.

This was given to me today, the plug had been replaced as it was burnt out and still would not work.
Oh dear, 3kw on a 5A fuse.

The mind boggles!

Occasionally you just need to treat yourself to a little distraction.

It's on my hit list for once I get a batch of invoices made and sent.

Table saw turned up last night with a few bits inside.

There wasn't a new camera in there, was there?

That's proper man maths!

After a duff non fitting cheapo reg off ebay , i decided to get a proper decent brand one and the quality is a huge difference and actually fits which is nice !. Seems a good construction and general quality good for hobbyists like me anyway.

Then got a flow meter to go with it from advice on this fourm to make sure i do not waste gas as im a tight git would never let that wasteage happen so the flow meter was ordered. Also got a 3/8 BSP hydraulic fitting from work just to put in my hose as a barb.

Think i have it all set up right around 12 litres per min on the flow gauge but the regulator reads a bit higher ,If anyone had any tips from experience or good setup videos id be glad to hear them!

Got it all fully setup on my argon mix and started welding away , Very pleased with it all find MIG welding with gas a walk in the park after becoming mediocre in stick. Also getting on a lot better than flux core.

Then think this was my first fillet weld attempt very pleased , Not perfect but i am working on it

My phone would not focus, it was fine before dropping it in a big puddle

Aye, they don't like that much.....

 

[Olderisbetter]

Was given a fridge and a kettle for my big van to make it more of a cheap camper, just need a bucket now as the toilet

I was a little sceptical also, and pulled the tape to check it when I got outside the shop; then went back in and bought another two.
