Better with a variable speed battery or hand held electric drill by far.

Nice tripod.
I've noticed for a couple of decades that surveying tripods are often dirt cheap compared to photographic ones, and usually far sturdier, too.
Doesn't matter to me now, as I scored a couple of classic Daiwa 'pods for peanuts, but am still interested in adapting a surveying one sometime.

Stick a hex head masonry drill in it and slowly churn out a neat deep hole in a few hours , One thing I have use such drills for was mixing paint with a wire pigtail arrangement .
If it works well keep it . Keep it in a sealed poly bag for when the dumpy fails after Putin & his cronies send a quick EMP or two to the UK ,

Found out we have a new postie who reaches us much earlier in the morning, and puts parcels in the green bin.
So I had quite the haul:
- 32 to 50 mm spanner roll,
- Fuji Electric PYZ9 Dual PID controller
- a 300×400×600 enclosure
- 1m of DIN rail
- a hydraulic gear pump
- steering box rebuild kit and brake/clutch pillar gaskets for the Landrover
- a shade 5 visor screen
- 12v to USB fitting for the Hilux
- a panel mount rotary isolator
- a pair of safety glasses shipped by mistake instead of a visor carrier.

Not much today, but I did time my peeking in at a charity shop, just right.
2 x Uni Kitty.
Plus a Dinky JPS.
Plus a Lloyds bank Silver Jubilee £5 coin.

New used parts for my ICS M4A1.
They belong from a 600 euro Poseidon Hades, standard OEM components.
Needed piston and hop up chamber.
Got all those parts for 39 Euro.
It includes an electronic trigger, they make the replica feel more real as they practically load the piston back and almost immediately release it when you press the trigger.
I don't need this fancy stuff as it's an imperceptible difference on 2500 round per minute airsoft gun which means 40 BBs per second how you are going to feel is obscure science for me.
But it's a 100 euro trigger mechanism so I'll install it .
He also gives me an all metal teeth piston

Not bad saw, a bit down on power for the 53cc size but makes up for it with a decent chain and being only £60.
Anyway today arrived a chain spinner tool tip for joining chains. Fiver from ebay. I need to weld up a holder/frame for it but easy stuff.
Also packet of m8, m10, m16 weld on nuts.
There's a YouTube video of a talk given by Clara Mattei at University College London on exactly this topic. It is cringing, at least in the beginning, because the host, Professor Mariana Mazzucato, who introduces the speaker, pretty much hogs the limelight for far too long. It's entertaining(?) to see the way Dr Mattei slowly deflates (she does so very politely), as she waits for the introduction to end.

Midlife crisis purchase #563... a cheap IKEA wine rack.
All red, all Australian. Came back from Australia with an enhanced (aka more expensive) taste in wine having been introduced to Barossa reds by my brother-in-law.

Very useful thing, I've a 76mm belt FERM one, had it a fair while now, less power than yours but really good for lots of course sanding.
Clever thing about the old FERM one is that it's designed to be flipped and clapped on a bench for stationary work which I used a lot before I got a Clarke 100mm bench job.

I picked up one of those Lidl 3" belt sanders a few year ago. That does the job, but lusted after a 4" both for the extra 1" in width, plus the extra weight of the larger unit. Makes sanding larger areas easier. Less prone to tipping them, & their weight helps as you're applying less, if any, pressure. You literally can let their own weight do the work, with one merely guiding it.
