It used to be non oil producing places on this rock.
Third world was the afican area.

 

[The_Yellow_Ardvark]

I am 30 minutes out of a skip.

2 items was already in the skip other 2 I was allowed to place them in my skip(van)

This will bring fond (really?) memories back for some.

The rest of the sets are lost.
But both are Avery weights.

Victorian Chart compass.

Oh yes, just a wooden box as well.

 

[The_Yellow_Ardvark]

The wooden box, above, rattled.

I had to take a hammer too the clips.

I think I have heard this name before.

Nope, nothing to do with oil: see my post above or https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Third_World

... a few little niceties ...:

A few used but sharp disc cutters in different thicknesses.

Of the more frequently used taps, I always like to have some in undoubted quality.

And a small box:

Mmmmmhhh ...

A foil thickness gauge, resolution 1µm, measuring range nominally 1mm but actually far beyond.

always stay hydrated and cool all

Picked up another Viceroy buffer to match the buffer/grinder that I bought a couple of years ago. It’s got a motor in it but the switch needs attention, not a bad buy for £35.

Slitting saws.

exactly, for making setscrews, screwheads etc. (didn't find a way to punch a clean hex in them for the time being)

Thanks for the correct word, I just translated 1:1 from German to English!
(Scheibenfräser -> disc cutters -> wrong )

I hope they didn't get you on CCTV, because you stole it for that price
Paid substantially more than that for mine - the buffers seem to go for considerably more than the grinders for some reason. I think its all the knifemakers. Nice machines!
