Car boot this morning, £2. I'll give it to a mate.
Later and still early I went for a ride on my bike, passed a house with several boxes of books outside with a note saying 'free', amongst the lot were this tripod and an OS map. I don't need the tripod so I'll pass it on to a nephew.

Made a quick look at Google ended up finding an e-commerce specialised in car body panels .
34.45 euros I've got
Inner door frame, and the door sill for both sides of my 126P .
Going to buy other stuff for it in the next month so hopefully I'll be able to get the body work done prior the end of the summer

Acquired a new 1/2 HP motor for my Boxford AUD lathe, and a long overdue delivery of a vintage dark faced expedition watch from overseas, to compliment the white faced model I have.

My latest Aliexpress purchase.
China do not mess around. They packed and shipped the item before the varnish was even dry
Got a highly authentic Certificate too
I hope it works ok and speed up setting the rotary table up on the mill.

I fitted a 1hp. Sometimes think a 1.5hp would have been better

Pretty accurate I think as well. Enjoy!

For the small stuff I'm likely to do with this lathe it will be ok. Last winter on a freezing day, the motor overloaded and started to smoke. The grease in the lathe and pillar block bearings were too cold to turn the spindle. Live and learn,I fitted a 1hp. Sometimes think a 1.5hp would have been better
this California boy living in the perpetual sunshine didn't anticipate an issue like this; and it happened too fast to react to shut the machine down. Anyway, even though the pillar block bearings seem ok, its a good time to replace them as well on the 55 year old lathe.

Felt like I needed a mag drill for a bunch of 12mm holes in 8mm plate so started looking at cheap small mag drill options, then decided I'm going to need something that can do M16 tapping for a job later this year and you know how it is, ended up with something not so small or cheap.

A very generous gift from a good friend who knows me too well.
If you know, you know. I don't think these will be getting used, be a crime to get them dirty.
