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

[Hood]

They screw on instead of valve caps and push the valve.
I think they transmit constantly, not really had much of a mess with them as I only got them last night so fitted and paired to the app and then the pic above was when I came home in the van this evening and parked outside the garage.

Are button cells needed in the caps?

My dad was on this lovely ship as a Navy sparky up to about 1958.
I was born early sixties and he was out of the service by then.

The name MikeBB just refers to my first gun
It fired plastic "bbs" . It was a cheap all plastic pistol.

Here's a similar one, but metal, that I acquired lately.
It was disposed of at our local recycling centre.

A cheap lathe. Free! Flood damaged, was due to go to the tip. The motor was seized but ran ok once I got it going. I cleaned all the surfaces and gave it to my friends. This machine costs $540 new, amazingly I got my Harrison Graduate for $900 and $50 for a bucket full of chisels.

Next time you have to do it try Hatton Garden Metals. They do a very good postal service and pay good rates with no fuss next day. They'll even remove any jewels from any jewelry you send in and post it back to you if you ask them to and provide an anvelope.

Something toi look into.

I dealt with this guy in the past. His prices are good. Local as well.
All the stones etc are removed. Watches are sold for the weight, plus a bit more for the workings.

Sets are given a better price, if we set them up.

Plus if we have the box's he buys them as well.

If they are any good I will go back for the other 30 packets tomorrow!

They store well for a few months in suspended animation in a deep freezer set at - 18 oC. or lower .

Skip dived this morning.
Got a lot of hemp rope and some Astro turff off cuts.
Plus a bit more stuff.

Details to follow soon.
Having a dirty pint.

As soon as i spotted it i knew it would make a nice looking item for my pre 50's room which is going to get filled with nostalgic items

I guess you'd like a proper antique two slice toaster . This was the first one I had as a newly married lad in 1970 .. It cost me half a crown at a local church jumble sale .. complete with original carboard box , rubber lead covered in cotton with a13 amp round pin plug. Don't think it had ever been used as there were no crumbs or discolouring of the doors or the element forms

If you do get open element electrical things for your 50's room cut the earth , live & neutral off short so they cannot be connected to live , neutral or an earth so the is no chance of them being plugged in to a live socket & electrocuting kiddies or idiots.

With the sensors fitted do you have to have the wheels balanced incase you go above 50 mph?

I am a small cog.

We'd heard the rumours.....

 

[25.4_mechanic]

It's getting serious ...

the good thing: I can pick up an Arboga U2508, the Myford ML7 might get company;
the bad thing: the drill-mill is in a narrow basement with a very low ceiling height and a very narrow, steep, angled staircase as the only access.

The machine should be broken down into as many parts as possible, there are only two of us and we are no athletes.

I'm thinking about one of the well known engine jacks - it's the head that worries me the most:

My choice would be the familiar textile loops, choking - so tightening itself, end by loop - passed around narrowings.

If I make it as above, the head will be quite front-heavy with the gearbox, so more like this:

Question:
- Is the head hanging securely?
- Can I break anything with this solution?
- Do I have to remove all switches, levers, etc. from the head to rule out damage?

Further:

Once we have the head on the ground, we want to secure it upside down on a piece of cardboard cut to size on a hand truck with straps.

- Is there any soup coming out of the head? This is the oil sheet:

What do you think?
Any other suggestions?

Thank you very much!

Greetings

Carsten

You DO like creating challenges for yourself [and your friend], don't you.

Have you been reading @mangocrazy's thread re getting a stone slab out of a cellar? Wait until he's done it and get him over to help.....
