I've always fancied having a culvert along the front of the house and like a little bridge you drive over with a bit of that big pipe under it. Sort of like a troll bridge...

Well, not so much acquired as re-found, I have been slowly selling stuff and working my way towards the back of the "storage shed" and found a full drum of this:
Just in time too as I am running out of the stuff I use in the Mill so at (approx) £225 a tub
a good find.

a good find.I'm with matt on this. They always look rubbish compared to a nice forged scroll with a tight centre and forged end

It's been a while since I've bought tools last time....
So I've went to my local Lidl and got this little set
11 needle files
4 regular ones
And a little brush specific for them.
I've been impressed with an older 3 pcs set, maybe because I've later discovered made by Suki GmbH.
So I thought they might be a good addition to my already impossible to walk through homeshop.
Did you remember I've recently got an Aimpoint COMP M3 on Vinted?
Well let's say it's another app that I should delete from my phone along with Amazon and ebay
That's why...
I've accidentally
... Okay you know I've bought it on purpose...
Anyways another Harris 43-2 torch handle and 49-3F cutting attachment.
Pretty dirty and apparently beaten up but those are newer than what I already have.
It has check valves Wich would cost me around 50 euro alone and a cutting tip.
I think that for 160 euro it has been a fair price considering that the handle alone is more than 300 euro over here

Don't go to heavy with it or you'll be replastering as well!
Great! Something else to worry about.
Great! Something else to worry about.
I've stopped using a steamer to strip wallpaper at home. It's an old stone house with some less than perfect plaster inside and every time I've used a steamer it has meant some repair work to the plaster!
I use some warm/hot water with a drop of lenor in it. Use a sponge to apply it, let it soak and peel/scrape it off. On washable paper you will remove the vinyl layer first by peeling it.
Once you get onto it it is nearly as quick as a steamer, less messy and no risk of removing plaster.

Amazon arrived home
My AliExpress order has been delivered successfully.
Gloves.
Which are surprisingly comfortable and well made
Paid less than 7 euro for them
Mask and goggles, both didn't impress me honestly.
I'll have to shot on the glasses to be sure they can actually do what they are supposed to do
And finally the plate carrier

I started with a cloth soaked in warm water and it was OK, but small sections at a time, and I figured this might be quicker.
Looking for something else in the garage today, on a high shelf that I've looked on before, I found - yes, you've guessed it - a wallpaper stripper. So I could have saved myself a trip and just used the one my Dad had already bought years ago and never used. It's much smaller, though, more like the size of an iron. I wouldn't mind so much but I've been through all those tools so I've seen it before and completely forgotten about it.
i've lost the before, it was rusty with a chipped edge so i had a go at sharpening, seems usable for my wood butchering
