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

What you two need is a Harry.
Harry has OCD.
He would of sorted them.
He did mine the other week.
When home I will post pictures.
But this beer is saying drink me.

I have sorted them all out. I can’t have them sat mixed up.

If you can make that much mess with a few ferrules I dread to think of the mess you could make with your slightly larger toys.

The Yihua gear is actually quite decent. I've had one of their soldering stations for a couple of year, & it does its job. I have no complaints.

+1for this
I bought one on the recommendation of "big Clive" (you tube)

After I collected them and Harry was distracted by the coffee spons being "wrong".

Sorted.

Today was a good day at TYA Home For the Unwanted tools.

08:00, I am already in the play pen and a good human arrives.
Wants to give me stuff in exchange of stuff I have.
He needs the 3/8 square Cedar wood batons, I have many.
So for 2 bags(Think Animal feed bags size) he left me this small bundle.


Oh joy, another hammer.



Better.



The little gas torch is very good.
The OS map is old. No M5.

In order:

The 4x4 timber posts @Pete. kindly offered up for grabs. Soon to be seen on my shedstension.

Some assorted hardwood destined for my turner mate, also from @Pete.

A new respect for Thule roof bars, like I had on my Focus estate.

A new hatred for FARAD roof bars which on their first outing today on the Mondeo today, bent like a bendy thing. I similarly abused and worse, the old Thule ones without complaint.

A small ratchet strap again from @Pete. to help secure the load on my dodgy FARAD bars.

A new respect for Covid. I've done bugger all, first time out and I'm knackered!

Oh, and a new dent in the Mondeo roof, my fault entirely.

 

[Barking Mat]

A 12 quid finger file thing.

Yeah, may not be the best, but i've always fancied one, local and cheap, two of my favourite things.

Don't doubt it's médiocre, but hey...

I've had a similar one for donkeys, they are more than fine.

Most welcome. There was no way I was going to throw 6 foot of 3" thick mahogany in the skip.

Sorry to hear about your dent though

 

[My Old Landy]

Today I acquired the knowledge that reversing a twin axle trailer is an art form. Sadly I seem to have missed that class

No worries. I just video chatted with my mate Simon the turner. He's getting all excited! Somewhere along the way I offered to help him build his new workshop.....

If you want a real challenge try reversing a drawbar trailer

 

[Kram]

Legs havent recovered from the 21km run so cycled to aldi. These were all the clamps they had left.

Slightly annoyed that they didnt have the small and medium in packs of 2 or 3 so I asked and got the small + medium as a pair. I have spent £21 this week on clamps
Im thinking to chop them in half as I dont do massive things. Then I can weld a round onto the offcut and use it in a hole on the bench.

If you need that Epco out of the way call me

Keep up that spending you might have enough clamps after a few years

I will be selling it at some point. Maybe in the next six months or so.

Think we must be related. I knocked my box of bootlace ferrules off the shelf earlier. It's fallen (open of course) in between my yet to set up lathe which I've now to move to get to the ferrule mess. Instead of sorting it I went and saw @Pete.

Spent all last week doing that, yes, takes some practice....

We only do it twice a year, finally, got the hang of it.

I have exactly the same Epco, gets in the way all the time, are they really any good? Mine leaks from the pump, I keep thinking of replacing it with a cheapy fold up.

Purely nostalgia for me, we had one where I did my apprenticeship. It lifted everything I ever asked of it, unlike the rubbish Ransomes Rapier diesel electric yard crane we had; that was a death trap
