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

Sumo???

 

[Maker]

Do thoughts of what they may have been used to cut/snip, in their past job, ever surface when using them?

Nothing worse than I'll be cutting.

A few years ago at uni someone came round and saw them on my knife block, recognised they were surgical ones and asked why on earth I'd have them. I told her I was an amateur vet, "I do surgery on cats and dogs", the look on her face was priceless.

But no it never crosses my mind. I found some stainless trays I thought would be perfect for cleaning/degreasing once, then I noticed "Hysteroscopy" on the back, didn't really want them after that.

I do love a quick witted joke like that. My father in law told us one he had recently. He was out walking the dog before work at about 4:30 am on beachy head (he works shifts). Comes across a guy sitting on a bench looking a bit shifty, the dog is very friendly and goes and sits at his feet and starts pawing for attention. This guy says "Alright GEEEEZ" to the father in law "what's this on the dog then" (dog wears collar with lights on). Father in law replies "oh that's standard issue mate, she's a sniffer dog, she thinks you've got something" The guy on the bench then proceeds to sprint off into the darkness chased by the dog who thinks this is a great game

 

[My Old Landy]

A book.

To go with something I may be getting on Monday

 

[Ubique]

Clutch kit, concentric release bearing & DMF.... all that's lacking is the big bucket of enthusiasm for fitting it.

 

[slim_boy_fat]

My neighbour is moving and asked if I would like this delightful 6" Wadkin planer

You've only just moved in - have you frightened them off with your antics somehow? [Joking, before the jump in.....]

I did wonder! He is a really nice chap, it is a shame he is moving as we get on so well (or so I thought )

 

[The_Yellow_Ardvark]

A new washing machine, with a 10% discount.
Yay.

 

[James1979]

Not exactly today but last week. Keep forgetting to take photos when it’s light so these are the sellers pics.

Further to my thread looking for a workshop body for a pickup, I came across this.

 

[James1979]

Couple of my pics of the inside. After a week of using it it’s damn handy. Not got everything how I want it but getting there.

 

[RichardM]

I have the green covered version! It came in a job lot of model engineering books including this one which is the one I wanted.



They'll give me a little light reading over Christmas

 

[Edward Teach]

Is that suitably annoying

 

[The_Yellow_Ardvark]

I have just said good bye to a friend, 8 bottles of Aldi polish beer() Not a tipple I like. But it does make a good beer batter and also good for making bread.

I will be tasting some in the morning.

But she did leave me this.

A bad of items, the bag makes a great thing to move stuff to charity shops.

In the bag were the following items.

A Horse medicene bottle.
2 sets of pliers.
3 nail punches.
One small chisiel.
One timer, flat battery.
Box of fuses.
1/4oz Branfield bras weight.

Then, in no other order, that what I pulled them out of the bag.

A small paraffin heater.

A small cooker.

I have removed the contents, aprt from the jet pricker it is complete.

Then a camera.

Solo Cadet, 120 bakealite camera. With instructions.

@Edward Teach
Oh, I think the one with the flash on is worse

Most definitely

A few days ago in post #33,558 - among other, more junky items - I had presented this pressure oiler for the Myford from a quality manufacturer .

A side topic was that the box pushers often give you the goods and the money back if you only complain twice.

Well, the quality supplier first tried to deliver a replacement to me as quickly as possible, but he didn't forget me afterwards:

Today the sensationally low invoice arrived - I've heard Myford people in yt videos quote three to four times the price -
- and the promised gift was also included.

The gift is a so-called precision oiler, with which one (precision mechanic, watchmaker, us) can get fine oil in the smallest amounts to exactly the right places - here, as with a biro, by pressing lightly on the pusher.

I am very happy, firstly about the gesture and secondly about having such a thing with me at all times from now on.
I filled it for the first time with Ballistol, which is known to be thin, and it works fine and stays tight in the pocket for the time being.

Also arrived today - a mini casket? :

0.01mm resolution over 10mm travel.

Keilpart/Suhl is a highly interesting company:

In 1878 today's Feinmess Suhl GmbH was founded as "Friedrich Keilpart & Co.". After the war a period of affiliation to the Soviet Union's factory association, in which measuring tools continued to be manufactured, the Feinmesszeugfabrik Suhl was transferred to national ownership in 1952.
In the association of VEB Carl Zeiss Jena in 1970. The production of inductive measured value recordings with an accuracy of 0.001µm (!) became possible. Since 1992, Feinmess Suhl GmbH has been part of the "Steinmeyer Group" (Albstadt).

This raises the question of how old this dial gauge is. Before 1952 it must have been called Keilpart, after 1990 it no longer existed independently, actually long before that ... I will have to research whether they were allowed to produce under their name during the GDR period, perhaps for export?

Very good measuring equipment, very undervalued on the used market.


Also arrived, not as interesting but as good:

0.01mm resolution over 3mm travel and 0.001mm resolution over 1mm travel..

Hahn+Kolb has been around since 1897, it rose to become the largest tool dealer in Europe for a time and was continued by the Würth Group after a bankruptcy in 1993 (dispute among the owners and a recession).


And a bit of drilling stuff:

Have a great evening and a wonderful weekend

You're getting the hang of this spending money thing.....

You're getting the hang of this spending money thing...

Yes, I didn't really know how to do that before ... but you had predicted everything exactly ... so I had to obey...

What you can't know, of course, is what something like that really costs here on the continent, if you put a little effort into it and have patience ...

Haven't posted in awhile. New pressure washer. Does the job nicely.

 

[Arc Tourist]

Acquired a swarf deflector for my Boxford lathe at a good price, its even the same colour.
