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

[MetalMonkey]

A simple brake bleeding bottle - I was getting fed up with the stiff hose on my old one.
This is nicer, with a good flexible silicone hose, they seem to be quite expensive on ebay/amazon.

What astounded me was that it shipped by Aliexpress, from china, within 5 days for a total of £1.24 including delivery. That just seems insane. I really didn’t expect to receive anything at all.
I couldn't even buy the brass hose barb for that.

One skip filled today.

This was all I found worth keeping.

A De-humidifier thing.

A Box.

Will be used as anodes in de-rusting.

Fire starters.

Some hand tools.

 

[The_Yellow_Ardvark]

The rest.

Should come up nice.

A nice selection of chisels.

They breed.

This was almost lost.

I'll certainly do.

I can start saying something.
As a machinist I'm pretty confident to say that for most of us Loctite 90% of the times is only really required when something is wrong.
Retaining compound... If a bearing has to be glued in place... Guess what... Something is wrong.
Bad machining, wrong tolerances, something needs to be reclaimed .
Thread lockers as well, if you use the correct size fasteners, torqued to specs, you'll very hardly need Loctite.
We assemble engines after boring, grinding etc
Most of them uses ARP bolts ,or other types of fasteners meant to stretch and bind into the threaded holes.
We never use Loctite, we actually lube the threads to avoid ruptures.
We use thread lockers on hydraulic rods nuts only because we don't replace the self locking nuts, hydraulic pressure can actually go through the threads loosening the nut, an also because the piston might rotate inside the cylinder loosening the nut .
Catastrophic failure often occurs do to the nut becomes loose, sometimes stretching the threads eventually shearing the threaded diameter off the rod, some other times it just falls into the cylinder destroying everything.
The remaining 10% is when you really need thread lockers but you also hardly need to disassemble the bolted components
1% you want to make next guy explode in rage
We all did at least once, when the customer wants to take the work somewhere else because he's cheaper or whatever reason that makes you getting upset.

That's my point of view, of course I'm not talking about high tech engineering.
But there's actually people who use it everywhere without any actual need

Vibrating machinery.

The dehumidifier thing looks like a greenhouse heater, more air moving than heat if it's like the one I had.

I have one of the same. It is definitely a greenhouse heater as mine is used for that purpose.

Pretty big tap wrench, missing one of its handles .
Essentially a nice restoration and lathe machining project.
As it's now measures 600mm in length, so I think its complete length would be around 850 900mm
My bigger tap wrench is 600mm and it's capable of holding M27 taps, if my mind still serving me well it's a #6 size tap wrench

Bought this little beastie.




Nice little knife. Good spring tension for holding it in the open or closed positions, & surprisingly weighty for its size. No notable slop or play.

 

[MattF]

Another "middle aisle" session.



For what they cost, I thought: Why not.

worth the money if only for welding fodder

 

[Beanwood]

A press or clamp of some description looks really nicely made- not sure what it would be useful for

 

[RichardM]

A garden shredder, nice quiet motor, needs a new chute making and I'll give the blades a sharpen. It was free.

Looks like a Brauer, would have been a few quid new. Not sure how useful it would be in a home workshop.

It has to be mine
Waiting for a seller response wish me good luck

Are you familiar with the English phrase "fanny magnet"?

 

[Memmeddu]

Are you familiar with the English phrase "fanny magnet"?

No at all and from the reactions received I'm kinda scared to discover what this means

 

[Cobbler]

It means a woman puller, a woman magnet in a slightly rude format.

Ok it's not as bad as I thought
Anyway I don't think the 126 would work on this specific sector.
Money does.
There are no values anymore, nowadays people make me sick.
The society is wrong, hunting for the post on Instagram, showing other people you are happier and richer than you really are.
I do have social I don't use hem .
Anyways cars we consider magnets over here....
Mercedes A class
BMW 1 series - every single sport coupé or GT
Mini Cooper S (which I almost got one )
Volkswagen Golf
Audi A3 A1 RS3 S1 and so on
Abarth 595 695.
Fiesta and Fiesta ST
But nothing is like a motorbike or a scooter.

Classic cars don't really work, young timers unless it has Cosworth written on them do not work
Money is the only thing that works I know complete idiots and by idiots I mean the people category you would continuously punch in the face.
Well they have money a lot of them, enough to make his girlfriend blind to not to see he always jumps on the other lane to kill kittens or dogs running over them .
A complete idiot.
I've just turned 25 and I am not sure if I want to see 30's as world is enough bad right now and doesn't fit me at all

Calm down it was only a joke!

Anyway, back in the day I had a Ford Capri and I did alright with the ladies.

(That's another joke btw )
