I did mine last week, though very few sloes around our way, also very few thorns either

Air Joggle and Punch Tool

Sketchy Chinese Transmission Jack

Wolf 3" Toolpost Grinder.

None actually acquired today, so much as actually brought down to the workshop because I remembered them.

A gift from an artist friend who has a habit of producing aesthetically beautiful, but deliberately awkward objects...

We've had a ton of wild berry stuff this year, the wind took a lot a while back, apples/plums and other soft fruit have been rubbish though

We still have apples on the tree, can't be bothered to pick them we've had so many.

Where from, how much?

Not today but in the last two weeks I've got few things in the mail

Let's start with those BGS spanners
Left to right we have 34-36-41-46mm
I've thought they can be useful to have as we use them a lot at work for hydraulic fittings.
But I'm also planning to get a 3/4" sockets set and I might need to held a bolt while loosening a nut with the socket.
But mainly because my Comet FR2 Cold Saw has a pretty big nut to held the blade.
Though I'd need 38-50-55-60mm to but those are for another order in the future after getting the sockets.

Parts for my MS 361 and a free sticker
Discovered that a crank seal it's missing but I've already left a positive feedback so I'll have to buy them again

Top end for the MS 361 with a beautiful piston, cylinder needs little bit of dressing around the ports just for safety.
I don't like few spots as they look to have like die residue on them and I would not risk to destroy the saw for a loose bit of glued sand.
I'll do very little porting too.
Just smoothing the inlet and polishing the exhaust, knock down the sharp edges.
I'll not use the spark plug and I think I'll get OEM wrist pin rings

Use the parkside cells to rebuild the fajita batteries.

I think that's the same one I have, by no means perfect, but for the money I absolutely can't complain.

Fabric back panel makes it a lot less hot and a bit less heavy which is nice.

Wore it when I got home and thought that the sleeves were a bit short but figured that if doesn't matter when wearing welding gloves

I have a XXXL and the sleeves are about right, but even as a fairly hulking gent, the body drowns me a bit.

It was only 5 euro I've had to get it

I don't add any sugar when I make mine as it can become sickly and syrupy. If needed, I add any sugar after a couple of years.

A mate gave me a Ryobi hedge trimmer that doesn't run and I grabbed a FB bargain in the shape of a Stuart Turner 2 bar universal shower pump.
The trimmer has gone to live in the bottom tin shed for a while as I dont have time to look at it yet and the pump might fix my long running pulsing shower problem...


The tyre is the boys spare after hitting a massive pothole and wreaking a tyre and wheel, thanks Herts County Council

Years!! It wont last last long
I do add a bit of sugar, the kids like it like that way, I say kids but the youngest is 28

Thirty seconds with a large adjustable spanner will sort that out once the tyre is off!
