A great Charity shop, on the coast, put some stuff aside for me.
Most is items they know they will not sell in the shop, or on line. Plus localy there is no good out let for the tools.
They had placed them ina box and taped it shut. I knew there would be good stuff, as, to date they have not let me down.
A few chucks. No use for them, yet.
A pair of Horshore magnets, a Rolls Razor.
Plus any Ex Rn WE's, ye sthat includes Tiffs. Should reconise the yellow screwdriver.
I even knew a tiff who could use it.
A small pipe cutter.
A small bench hold down.
A small Pifco Torch. Both bulbs work, the red one still flashes.
A 1950's RAC badge. The two holes should hold the mount.

It's in Aviemore, probably it's most well-known pub and restaurant...

Some razor blades, I believe they are amongst the best. I better get a new styptic pencil 
And a box of unisex reading glasses.
Not sure about these, I think they make me look bozz eyed and make me want to go for a wee sitting down.

Yesterday I acquired a bit of nostalgia
I was never really a big fan other than admiring the famous bum, but wife and daughter are weill into ABBA so we went to ABBA Voyage
Got to say it was pretty amazing well worth it. Technically very clever and good fun
Youngest boy enjoying the beer, 2 eldest boys waaaaay too cool to attend something as naff as that

We all have our guilty secrets but you don’t have to pretend you only went because of your wife and daughter

... three 120l bags of paper shavings, lots of file folders and mountains of stapling strips, as well as two and a half free shelf meters ....
.... I was able to shred 10 years of accounting records until a point 10 years ago, the retention period had expired ...
.... i was even a bit amazed about what an active business life i had at that time
compared to the more sedate pace now - you've even heard the word midday nap lately here.
Granted, I could have started shredding exactly one accounting year nine years ago, but, hey, it was much more satisfying this way ....
.... with strategic pauses always just short of the shredder's overheating limit and not skimping on oil on the chipping rollers ....
... I love the smell of hot WD40 in the afternoon

Alison had ten large clip over the handle to seal document storage boxes . Every year I shredded the oldest box of paper but kept the three or four CD of the tax returns & stored them in the tenth box . It was getting to the stage where I was thinking of scanning every bit of paper and putting it on disc as a photo record .... three 120l bags of paper shavings, lots of file folders and mountains of stapling strips, as well as two and a half free shelf meters ....

Bought this - job for @fizzy to get it from Gravesend to West Wales.
Once here I have a helical gear cutting job for it:-
Part of this:-
Answers on a postcard, but its quite old and there aren't that many about. The casing is actuall magnesium.
Oh, question for the learned, what should I make the pinion out of? I'm thinking some en40, suitably heat treated?

Is that a rack & pinion steering box unit off an ancient Triumph Toledo ?
