Long time lurker, first time poster here, hello all.
I've never welded before but this is exactly what I what I want to make!
Been planning this for so long, time to get a welder and start practising.

There is no better way, and getting a good welder to give you a few lessons and a few pointers is a great help.

A big pile of squashed, fermented and strained grapes to go on the compost.

I'm really, REALLY glad that you told us what was in the first bucket... I might otherwise think that's a hell of a lot of jobbie for a wee JRT!!!

Repaired a concrete mixer (just brushes)
An Hitachi H65AB2 (power cord,cord armour, switch, brushes and cleaned)
Check another concrete mixer (spares not available)
Check an old Hitachi impact (batteries and charger not worth to repair)
Check a Ryobi one plus charger (not worth to repair)
All this almost a week ago
Today took all them to the customer and got paid
Unfortunately I missed to make some photos but you know that it's part of what I do to live
I'm actually waiting for a customer that needs to repair another hammer
And another customer that needs to repair tow big electric hoist
About those hoist I will work only on the electrical parts just because I refuse to work on mechanical parts on this kind of devices
Answering to the question
"Why do you refuse to repair mechanical stuff on this kind of tools ?"
Because it's a kind of tool that lift heavy stuff ,this heavy stuff can fall down killing someone if I do something wrong.
There is a centrifugal brake in the gearbox if I mess up this particular part the results can be catastrophic

Welcome aboard
You DO know that some shopping trollies have a kind of tracker built into the plastic handle, or so I've read....

Fake news
There’s a few companies in mk that collect them from the canals and hedges then return them back to the supermarkets etc for a fee
Via faceache and a txt line people report where they have seen them

I'm almost sure I saw an article where someone dissected one to show a chip - could it just have been to trigger an alarm if the trollies were removed from the car parking areas? My memory isn't as hot as it once was....

Isn’t that the brake on the wheels?

No, definitely some gubbins inside the handle.

Can’t be a tracker judging by the number of trollies left about. Also if a tracker it would need some sort of power source. I reckon this is some sort of myth put about by the supermarkets to stop the trollies being nicked.

More likely to be an RF chip tracks when you enter the shop how long you spend in each aisle then linked to loyalty card at checkout.

That’s what the mats are for on entrance a chap we raced with worked for a company that sold heat radars to monitor the flow over an entrance way
My push bike has a tracker like a cat would have and when a scanner is used it comes up with my contact details was cheap as chips, sorry

No but leaving RF stickers sticky side up in a supermarket is most amusing according to my wife.Welcome aboard

I read, possibly on here, someone took their mate's calculator apart and hid one of those tags inside so it set the alarms off every time he went in the library.
