I would never have a manual mill again, CNC just so easy. A lathe however, CNC is nice but I would never be without a manual lathe.

They look a bit spendy?

One of them generic soldering/ desoldering stations from Farnell. They have pretty good reviews, and seeing I have a servo drive to change the caps on, I decided it would make my life easier. Haven’t used it yet, but initial thoughts are it’s pretty nicely made, not as cheaply Chinese as expected . 60w temperature controlled iron and 80w electric vacuum pump desoldering gun . Can only be better than the tiny antex soldering iron I have!

The wee computer repair charity* I used to volunteer with had a couple of those (we made a bit of a thing of recapping the infamous Dell Optiplex desktop motherboards and PSU's). They're bloody good for the money
Wouldn't like to think of how many hours they must've saved us over a year!


* computers donated by organisations in the UK to be refurbed and shipped to schools in developing countries.

Not too bad mate. £160 for the set.
Considering the smaller less durable unsealed boxes are about 40 quid each it's a bargain.

 

[Arc Tourist]

Got to be fast to live in the West ! Today I acquired lightning fast reflexes to push the buy it now button.
Don't see these Bridgeport tooling cabinets come up too often. Here's some screen shots.......

 

[Arc Tourist]

I'm missing the fourth shelf for mine. How much did that set you back?

£ 240.oo and not too far away for collection.
On the right hand door, there appears to be a lever type bar; what would that be for ?
Bottom shelf looks like it needs a plywood deck.

5 Kg of 0.8 mm Lincoln Supramig from IFL's Ebay shop.
Delivered properly packed in under 24 hours.

Wife called from work this afternoon, you must come her now.
A note on this step ladder said "Give-Away, must be taken home. Not allowed to use here" so I came to their rescue and relieved them

This is the reason I shouldn't carry cash. The bottle opener was free, the others cost a grand total of £5. Should clean up nicely in the vibrating bowls at work. Maybe polish them or dip them in the antique solutions, haven't decided yet

Cleaned up OK for a first run, think ill re dip in the pickel a bit longer and then a good long run in the ultrasonic. Then maybe antique them and silver the r rabbit
