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

Cheers. So just a generic unit ought be fine as a starter/learning torch? Had noticed this one on Amazon, (quite like the shaping of the handle on this one):

WP17VF TIG Welding Torch 2in1 HF Trigger Switch + Lift Scratch 10-25 4M Cable https://amzn.eu/d/6Zy7BVJ

If you buy this torch you could get a 12v gas solenoid and a tiny panel battery to use the button for gas on/off.

A cheap sh1tter. Yeah it's a Pug 406, yeah, 90 HP petrol, it's certainly not a diesel Volvo estate. Oh no.

But it is legal for the next two years.

Well, once I fix the slightly blowing exhaust, and a foglight.

Beggars can't be choosers.

But it's legal....

I'm gutted I drove my V70 for the last time today, but hey...

I like that idea.

A slide hammer with a set of vacuum suckers for pulling out a dent in the back/side panel on the ranger. Also useful for rapid ventouse deliveries and extracting money from that tight mates wallet, the one that is always last to the bar.

Don't forget difficult child birth.

I.E. Ventouse deliveries....

That's the ventouse bit, it's the suction cup they put on the nippers head. My eldest daughter was delivered that way, it distorts their head a bit but it soon goes back to normal.

My daughter too, the cone head look.

One of my nephews was born with a deformed skull, he had to have an op on it before he was one, he's now 34 and you can still see the scar that runs from one ear to the other across the top of his head.

He should get a zip tattooed on it.

My old Chromebook expired yesterday so I ordered a new one. Came today (gotta love Amazon) up and running in less than 30 minutes!

I decided to assign my old Makita router to permanent duty in my router table. I do a fair amount of routing for our 'old house' project, and I was getting tired of the disassembly and reassembly time whenever I had to remove the router from the router table for hand-held work and then reinstall it in the router table. So a couple of days ago I ordered a new Bosch 2.25-hp router with a plunge base attachment and an adjustable edge guide attachment. It has both 1/4- and 1/2-inch collets. It arrived yesterday, and today I put it through its paces making several pieces of baseboard moulding (you can see a couple of pieces in the foreground). It works great, and I just ordered a kit with a couple of additional dust extraction attachments.

Some free sawdust for bedding delivered by Pete who owns the local woodyard. Had the JCB been functional we'd have just tipped a load but Pete bagged it up for us. What a gentleman.

[arther dailey]

Yeah I explained that, I said it would perhaps be best to bronze weld the joints to give an amount of 'give' but they said it would alter the dynamics of the chassis...., ok boss.

I am with you on that,braze
