Nice bit of Kit.

Here's my workspace, having a big purge on kids bikes at the moment. Operation re-claim is well underway.

The rocker looks like it needs to have a cushion. So you can sit in comfort, with a beer as you think of the plan.

 

[Jim Davey]

It's a child's rocker I'm restoring. All I'd be thinking about is how to remove the shards of broken wood from my backside if I sat on it!

OA set on a soft flame?

Is this the solution to the kids, the bikes, the chair or all of the above?

Not the chair, that would be terrible.

The bikes you might get a few Sheckles for.

I've got to build a shed for the ones that are staying. The rest im fixing up and gumbaying.

Hmmm, I'm beginning to understand Vark logic, and that's scary.

 

[Jim Davey]

To remove the wooden splinters? Oxy acetylene? What a monster!

I've got to get around to making one of these.

It's well worth the short time it takes, and the relatively small cost, to collect the bits required.

This new phone . I will not fix this .. Well now it has been in the water about 4 hours

Here's my show & tell for the day. There were only a couple of tiny nicks on the vice which I touched up with a file, and then painted it with my diminishing supply of "One Shot" sign painters paint. The metal label was removed as I don't like anything distracting. This is a good tool, and am glad the vice was treated very well by its previous owner; and cheers to who ever it was.

I know, I'm using the Deox C powder solution in little pots at the moment for rusty bicycle parts at home but something like that I could put the whole frame in!

@Jim Davey
I make a big de rusting tank from scrap wood and a old rubber pond liner.
As well as wheelie bins, in fact all the way down to a coffee jar.

Oh yes, now I have a bank of computer PSU at 500W.
