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

.......................................................................If something is covered in branding, then they should pay me for the advertising, I can't understand people that are walking billboards and pay for the privilege! ...................................

I hate it too. I recently bought a new armoured motorcycle jacket, and it had no less than 15 locations where the brand name was embellished.

I sorted that out in short order with an indelible Sharpie marker.

…another good bowlful of chillis.

I did have to sample a scotch bonnet but soon regretted it. Ate just a smallish one and it made me feel a little light-headed.

Man they pack a punch!

Don't tell him that.
I was waiting for round two.
Either one voice or two.

I will let you work that out.

Doctor please take away the pain but leave the swelling

Yesterday I collected Pollard 12AX from @BarrieJ and the pedestal tomorrow all being well. - Very top fellow!

I'm chuffed to bits with it TBH, it will get a good clean and oil and a bit of doda on the exposed steel, but apart from the motor I'm not painting it, its too good as is in original IMHO. And get the lamp spruced up and working.

Beer can on start cap for scale.




While watching the GP cleaned up the oiler, what a lovely thing, who makes stuff with that detail/quality now.

15A is more than sufficient,10A theoretically would work but there really isn’t any headroom. For the couple of pounds difference between the two,it’s a no brainier. Just bought another one for the workshop,want to mess around with reclaiming the heat from the exhaust.

My power supply is 30 Chinese amps

One of those diesel heaters that YouTube was full of a few months ago.

Quite a decent discount from new from a Dodgy geezer flogging Amazon returns at a guess.

There was diesel in the tank and the wires had been connected. He knocked another fiver whilst I ummed and ahhed....

So wasn't too surprised to see this.

Common fault jammed fan. Some percussive maintenance required to move it on the shaft.

Rubbing on controller.

Fan is free to spin an it works

Now upgrading with a fuel filter and isolator switch. On its own little trolley.

The garage heater setup

Want to try and mod the controller to be able to turn the glow plug on to bring it up to the flash point of used hydraulic oil as have access to alot of that free and I think it would burn rather clean as it's not that contaminated really compared to likes of used engine oil.

The power supply is mounted on a rafter above

Exhaust wrapped in that exhaust tape stuff so should try insulate it a bit and stop any immediate burns from a glance if I'm lucky however mounted high up so never in the way too much, then a steel plate centers it in a larger than pipe size hole I drilled so it won't contact the corners of brickwork and then exhaust goes out wall into a 90° bend taking exhaust out the way however has left a little soot on the wall from some bad starts

I hate logo advertising too.
Was in Tesco's about nine weeks ago , watched a shelf stocker put size XXXL T shirts on the rack . Waited in my wheel chair till she'd finished & discovered this nice soft to touch material was logo free.

Alison picked all 14 of the T shirts in XXXL off the rack ... Bonus they were only £2.50 each .. I wonder what price the next batch I buy will be and will I be turned 75 or a lot older as the last 9 logo free batch I got was 7 years ago & they cost me a fiver each ..

I really like that, not seen one before or have I been living in a cave?

I recently saw a video about Dawn vices. There are three variations. Yours looks like the early cast model. Awesome !
Did you get the missing jaw pad with it ?

I did not. They still make them to this day though, so you can buy spares they make a whole range, cast and fabricated. She’s a big one!

They’re uncommon. Fortis made a quick release one, Wilton in the US make one and Dawn in Australia. That’s all I know of, plus cheaper fabricated ones. They let you put a length of material that drops down to the floor so the body of the sliding jaw doesn’t get in the way. Clever stuff.

Car boot bargain???
It stinks of stale petrol and is missing the air filter cover but has compression...

Ohh new tool day.


Upholstery stapler, mum needs it to repair the chairs. The Silverline one we've been using is a nailer/stapler so it's got a big bulky safety thing which must be depressed to make it fire, it makes it hard to position the staples accurately. This is a much nicer tool.
