Exactly.Sod's law, she'll accept those prices, & keep coming back to you.
She annoys me weekly.
Doesn't seem to accept I have a job and family and expects me to pander to her needs.
Hence my quotes. I'll be perfectly happy if she rejects them.
How many little blue pills did you require?

Quite a few I would imagine if it is 10m long.How many little blue pills did you require?
Previous place of work we had a customer like that - wanted a turntable in his drive, asked our boss at their golf-club . . . he declined but suggested a design place . . . who took his money to design it, and suggested us to make it . . . we costed it, added a really decent wedge, then doubled it all as we didn't want it . . . in reply he said "who do I make the cheque payable to . . " Bug ger!Sod's law, she'll accept those prices, & keep coming back to you.
If its really nylon used as the slider pads, it may suffer after a few wet days the same as users of blue pills do when they take too many . . .
Probably bought by the tonnes and used the crushed up leftovers to paint the cab

Too cheap. If she gets on your Bristols and you don't want the work or the customer, start at 25 euros each. If she is using them as a religious icon, 50 euros each, no discount for bulk.

Finally finished the weather vane for my S-i-L, ready for transporting & installing when a trip South is arranged [could be a while, what with Covid, weather, appointments etc 
]
And, before anyone points it out, I know a blackie's legs aren't yellow but I wasn't going to buy another tin of paint in the correct colour....

Today I made nothing but a complete f up of stuff. When to paint a few parts. Paint was a little thick. Went to thin it down and spilt a big load of thinners ruined a new pot of paint. Ripped the zip off my temporary shelter so everything got wet as it has to slash it down. All in all a up yours day really. Still not happy with my paint finish
Be careful - still swells - then its like someone put the brakes on.

I've been using it on cranes for almost 20 years with no problems , The boom sections have got plenty of clearance between the two front pads for it to be a non issue imo.
Sufficient clearance is the thing. Some good more modern alternatives now though from other suppliers that more cost effective ( me, cheap
)- assuming you are using the real thing at the moment.

The NR20 tig torch, as it arrived, its leaky.. loosely assembled kit of parts. It appears a common problem that the face of the swivel head is rough - its not turned and a bit of a loose fit in the sillicone handle.
First thing was to file it flat and smooth, then I stole an oring from a wp17 back cap. Using two back caps for leak testing.
I notice the banjo screw the oring seals ok but its still not the best fit. I added a chunky green pyrex lense oring in the gap behind the red oring. Result is I can have it slightly loose without leaking - ofcourse for electrical contact it needs to be tight, but now Im confident I wont be wasting any extra gas.
ToT states that the identical looking CK banjo bolts fail where the plastic becomes brittle, atleast on the air cooled handles, so I'll turn a spare.

I've done similar when the dog's lead acted as a bolass and I crashed onto the kennel roof. It's pretty painful.Sunday, the following day, I finished the sliding line support; and then a short while later fell backwards off of my A-framed ladder set up when one of the legs sunk into the grass, and ended up braking several ribs when I landed on the corner of a random breeze block I hadn't cleared away from the area. So, now I'll be having a few weeks of leisure time to chill out and keep track of what's happening on the forum.
