Much better than the eBay special I've got on my drills;

It's not some weird camera effect, it's about five milimeters wider than it is tall and really needs wrestling into the socket, I actually had to bend the pins straight a few months ago. No idea how it happened, I've got two of them the same, both been hung over a hook for years so they've not been stood on or squashed. I think it's a Mennekes I've got on my lathe, whatever it is it's branded and it's what I'll

I like the ABB plugs from Screwfix. They ain't cheap but at least they're round...

How does that fit with fire regulations?

New Fire Risk carried out. If not insurance is in valid.
If the worse happens all those involved may be having a chat as their words are recorded.


I would like to see at least 2 x 3 hour Emergency lights fitted. Plus a Exit box over the door(s).
2 fire extinguisher's and a fixed floor plan.

They may be there, just out of shot?

Today I need to hide away.
So I did.
Took the new coffee and clean mug and blue top milk.

Paraffin camping stoves can brew up a treat.



The LHS torch was given to me. I knew there was a big issue.
The big and clear one was the lack of pump, but it is a unusual design.

Brew up and away we went.



A raid of my limited stock found a pump rod, a cup washer carrier and retainers we had a plan.

We made one.


Did it work?



New seals and a cleaned jet.

Again I staged this.
But this is a classic of lack of pressure. The paraffin is not a jet and is dribbling out into the "Meths." So it not a hot warming flame. No chance of vaporising the fuel.

More coffee.

Strip down. The pump is over working, but a quick tweak and it is ok. NRV was dirty, but working. The dirt was drawn from the pressure tube.
So when it was in bits, it was boiled up in washing soda.
Not the same pan as the coffee water.

Rebuilt.



Yippppeeee.


The damp patches on the work top is water from the water in the tray, outside, I fired it up in.

The extinguishers may be, the E lights are not.

Am I missing something? The window doesn't look to open so wouldn't be an escape route anyway surely?

one thing i do enjoy is your posts with the old blow lamps then so make a change compared to these new fangled things and in years possible we may go back to them again if the need ever arises

Its dark, raining and middle off December, you are working in that room.
There is an emergency.

You need to see the door.
Be able to make a direct route to it, to aid your escape.

Windows are not a Fire/emergency escape.

We still call emergency exits "Fire Escapes" as it keeps the signs smaller and we are used to seeing the Fire escape sign.
