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

[oldbikedavey]

Happily, a little air grinder pen.
Far from costly, but superb in its dexterity, light, effective, and of a very high rotational speed at full throttle...
Unhappily, a stinking cold, though, but it may soon pass, all being well.....

No,I suffered for 3 weeks,couldn’t stand for more than a couple of minutes,

Nasty, isn't it. I take tablets daily to suppress the pain, so that I can continue to work.

business couldn’t survive like that,nor finances,so bought it,got my workman to carry for me.

Any photo's of it?

Collected this morning. This'll be my last shopping spree for a while ()

Great steel framed bench, somewhere to work, that's not the kitchen!

3 folding tables, always good for Car Booters.

Nice Kamasa matching top and base.

Had a smaller Dust Collector, seemed underpowered, sold it and found this one 3hp. Not sure if I want to annoy the neighbours with it, but it wasn't to be missed.

Still boxed up, not opened it yet.

Remember I chopped up that old trailer, with 9" grinder disks, reciprocating saw and a bolster chisel and hammer?

Get yourself a Plasma Cutter, you said. Can't afford one, I said, OOPS!

Too late for the old trailer, like that's a problem finding things to cut

Pull the other one.

The start of an expensive purchase. The £400 batteries should arrive today. £1228 in total.

Part two and three arrived. Part four still to be ordered (extension pole)

Tissue box for scale, the 5Ah are huge. Also huge case, but not very well protected inside, there was cardboard over the top..

Pole saw looks great quality, compact, light, only could have done with an angled head. Beats the Stihls I have tried before.

Baby 18v motor unit. Noticably lighttler than the big one. Doesnt want to play with the clone batteries, flashes red for discharged warning, tho they are full.

Also the scrench is quality, thicker walled and nicer than the normal ones.

All my work benches including the welding bench & my lathe are on industrial 100mm lockable braked castor . All built so I can get my toes under the table and the table finished height of 1mtr rubber castors ,
Setting up like this 23 yrs ago was one of my better ideas ,, as the spinal injuries and other disabilities would have prevented me doing it this last 15 years

If you don't find anything to cut you can always donate this little bit of equipment too me, I'll surely find something to cut .
Just joking, I've got a plasma cutter few years ago, and only used it once but I've paid it a tent of the price of yours.
Nice bit of kit yours

What have you plotted with it?

The downfall of the metric system

Tyre valve replacement kit. Had a few valves start leaking on the trailers, age? 20mins to the nearest garage was getting old. Works like a charm, 3 done so far in the last few weeks.

Tyre valve replacement kit

Bought one as a result of your posting ...

 

[Memmeddu]

Got myself this used metal toolbox.
Planning to restore it, apply lever latches, add two little side handles and metal corners to reinforce them

I will use it to store my 3/4" sockets set because I don't like the plastic box they came with.
It's surely heavier but I can trust it

An ESTA. Form seemed longer and more involved than the last one from what I remember - but approved in just over an hour, which is much faster than any previous one I applied for.

Jeez - edit to correct spelling - took three attempts to get fingers to type what the brain was telling me about the order of the letters in "form".

And again to add "me" . . . is this old age speeding up?

 

[The_Yellow_Ardvark]

Nice little shop in Wells.

The cat is for a mad cat lady friend.

The weights are Avery, with a GR Crown stamp.

More Rolling stock, £1 each.

A milk float, what sinks in water.

Another set, £1

Sent From Germany.
Avri strike again.
Claim form attached to box it was in.

Not out of my box yet.

It was jammed shut, so it was in the Goody Bag bin, £1.

Does this mean I got my money back?

A few many know what this is.

 

[The_Yellow_Ardvark]

£5.

Spotted this Buzzard whilst measuring at a customer’s house,so he gladly gave it to me,it goes with my barn owl I’ve had for nearly 40 years.
I’m going to suspend it in the stairwell where I’m making a new helical staircase.

If you end up in Exeter, pm me and I will tell you of a few places to have or may have stuff like that.

A couple Dynomotion Kogna motion controllers.
One is destined for the little milling machine I acquired last month, and one for a CNC plasma table.

Not sure when I'm going to get either done, but it was either buy them now, or buy them in a couple months and pay more tax this year

Does this mean I got my money back?

Coincidentally my sister messaged me last night - shes currently discovering that me telling her that no-one wants all the old "valuable" stuff from mums house was actually correct - about those coins. She's annoyed as "they are worth 3 grand" and she "threw hers away donkeys years ago" . . .

What she means of course, is she went on ebay and found a few for sale at such stupid money . . . I replied with a screenshot of a coin dealers website where he is flogging them for £1.99 . . .

I've still got mine somewhere . . . and the memories of waving a plastic union flag on a black plastic stick with a red pointy top bit, while stood on the sun on the side of the road through Kinson, Dorset
