- Balancing Stand and Arbour for my Exe surface grinder.
- Lister Petter 3hp engine for the second compressor.
- Chinese clone of a Hot-Shot Induction Heater.
- U2 Work-Head and Collets to fit my Taylor-Hobson Tool Grinder.
- 16mm 3×D U-Drill.
- ISO 30 and ISO 4O tool-setting stands.
Although actually this turned up whilst I was away in the middle east, and it's just that I got round to sorting out all the boxes just now.

I ordered another tree harness last week, a lightweight one for £120. Arrived with a manufacture date of 2015 
Soft textiles only have a 10 year life and it was the last one. Shop has been great, upgraded me to a £360 version, not as light, but much better than my other proper harnesses.
Camp Tree Access ST
Now only problem is, goes upto 47" waist but the leg loops are child sized on the S-L verson
So they are sending out another replacement in the L-XXL size version.

So they are sending out another replacement in the L-XXL size version.Give them a call and let them know they’ve put the decimal point in the wrong place. £224,43 and a half pence.

Interesting, is this a replacement for the now unavailable Silent Partner?
I used to rope solo with a Shunt as a poor student (yes petzl say you shouldn't, and yes it does have a potential failure case, but I feel like by the time you are rope soloing you can take responsibility for risk management), and always lusted after a Silent Partner, but couldn't justify it when actual climbing partners were so abundantly available.
It's a "mechanical 3rd hand" backup device with an integrated process capture rope grab. Basically if your main belay device doesn't activate due to upside down fall etc this grabs the rope and provides the friction needed to activate however I've designed it to be strong enough to catch a fall on its own even though it's just for backup use only.

Get them made quick and get your rightful share of the market before Shanghai floods it.

3 tubes of Anthisan antihistamine cream, six bars of Bourneville 'Old Jamaica', rum and raisin chocolate (best chocolate in world) and a load of Marmite.
Thank you someone from the U.K.

So designed to be used with a grigri or other self locking belay device, but will catch a fall alone as a failsafe?
That's a useful piece of kit, best of luck with the first production run.

Going to work and telling people you've had some Charlie for breakfast would be interesting...

I hadn't thought of that.....
Its a niche device and there will only be 300 of them so once people who want them have them then that's it, I could do another run but it would require a minimum of 80 people to make it worth it.
Sure it's not just the cherry pit?Almost a broken tooth!

Note the hard red plastic which was somehow inside the cherry!?
As Iwas eating it in the car outside shop, I went back in, wouldnt like it to happen to anyone else! Refunded plus a bottle as a gesture

Yea, basically my device replaces the asap/micro traxion bulky&heavy combo you see here
