Wood bothering, I call it.

Lovely bit of kit.

The shelf is for your cold beer.

 

[winchman]

He was lucky, he managed to get the saw, Whitehead Band saw and Planer, he needs some machinery for his building restoration but also wants to build a Shepherds hut whilst waiting for planning , saving up etc.

 

[MCKDAVID]

all joking aside I wonder if it's for a morticing attachment? is the spindle attached to the main drive shaft?

 

[Chillitt]

Sanding disc on the end of the spindle?

 

[Barking Mat]

Thanks @Kram for the link.

Unbelievable value for twenty quid.

The FM20, tool shank is of no use though, that'll be flogged or freebies.

Well winchboy not me I just have to move it
Now can some one educate us and tell us what the little side table is for?
Its an FJ Edwards machine so once rewired should be a good machine

I'm reasonably certain the little side table is for tenoning, and should have a sliding plate on it.

Or possibly for dowelling/mortising.
But either way, there should be more cast iron bits on it.

 

[The_Yellow_Ardvark]

This large box.



Large, orange and heavy.



Again well wrapped and packaged.







Lots of stuff to sort.

Thank you good person, north of the M4.

A mug, tee-shirt, and a couple of stickers from the FB "Yorkshire Volvo" club raffle.

Name pulled from the hat about 5minutes after I sold my Volvo.

Update:
They sent me the prize as cash
Should I put it towards buying a new Lexus?

It might be worth doing a little research on the machine. I went looking to try to find info. on the side table and there is nothing whatsoever on the 'net concerning woodworking machines made by Edwards. Absolutely everything you find made by them is for metalworking, so you have to wonder why they would add a machine for a different industry to their product line. It is possible that Edwards were the distributor or marketing agent for the machine and that it was manufactured by someone else.

We also couldn't find anything even s friend who works in a timber processing plant he had never heard of them

An heart attack or near

Any one seen this

M4 closed for x hours midday

Lorry tyre burst across 3 lanes plowed through the central reservation iike it was paper whipping a near lorry on our side coming straight for us trailing the barrier in front of it

We managed to stop and still see the lorry coming to us on our side the carriageway it did stop 20 yards before hitting our car



Yes I was in the front as close to the lorry as I am now from my seat in my House to the back door

 

[awemawson]

Yikes, glad you are OK

 

[angellonewolf]

yes if id been a few secs faster we would haved been dead looking at the damage to the other lorry and i do mean secs prob not even that

 

[a111r]

A local, totally original 1979 Honda CB100N.
One owner since 1981, under 10K miles, full service history, manual and invoice: for 'not stupid' money (that sports mopeds and C50/70/90s seem to make).

In 1981 it was priced £400 at a Honda dealer. The shocker is that he bought it on HP over 36 months, which cost him £730!

So I bought another one, stored for 40 years. Then I confessed to my friend.

He told me that his missus had heard from mine recently that "this phase won't just end with one..."
They know what you're going to do.

Buggeration, glad you are ok, hopefully no fatalities or serious injuries.

It's just a bloke thing, isn't it. Getting something is never enough. We either end up getting multiples, else modifying something to the hilt.

motorways are great, right until that moment it all goes pear shaped.
