[Tinbasherdan]

[brightspark]

I have a junior dingdong they used to make the saw blades as well .. (garbage ) eclipse used to be the best but I use a Sandvik one. more ergonomicaly friendly frame and a good feel to it and it was only 5 quid from autojumble

 

[Mick Annick]

My new forge arrived, am very happy, much metal bashing to come...

 

[Mick Annick]

How do you rotate images??

 

[Mick Annick]

I was torn between a couple of UK built side blast forges, or a German bottom blast , the Germans won, mainly on price and quality, though I’ve been using a homemade French bottom blast forge for a while which helped the decision.

 

[northwest]

Do we even ask the context of this?

Best not.

 

[fizzy]

Looks genuine. Did ya get tool holders

Sadly no. Will have to keep my eyes open and perhaps make a few if I ever get time!

I wish people wouldn't use 120x80 pallets for bits of machinery
120x100 is far more stable and certainly for UK shipping makes no difference in price. You can save a bit for International shipping but not much difference!
Also you are far more likely to get damage when an item is right up to the edge or worse when it overhangs.

A big compressor. 3 Phase 4kW 200l tank and about 18cfm FAD. Bargain price too No 3 phase at home so will tart it up and sell it on.

 

[Seadog]

It's been a good week.

A lovely little Lushington MT1 boring head for £20. Not too impressed by Parcel Force though. It couldn't have been much more obvious to anyone walking past

Nope, they don't work either!

Bit of skip diving today and came away with a lovely haul (and a tiny fraction of the number of useful bits that were in the skip):

This is a bit of 75 mm diameter aluminium. Once all the machined features have been cut off, it'll be a bit over 110 mm long:

Then there's all this lot:

The long bar is 30 mm diameter 303 (I'm guessing based on the paint colour on the end), about 600 mm long. The rest is aluminium. The square ones are 36 mm thick and a bit over 150 mm on each side with no machining marks apart from on one face; the rectangular ones are 30 mm thick and 235 × 175. The round one is mostly a bit over 100 mm diameter and about 40 mm long.

That should feed my machining habit for a day or two...

 

[brewdexta]

I acquired several things

1. A strong 4m2 of stone flags for about a third of commercial value, and from a mates back garden so not nicked
2. A cyclone for my dust extractor with 100mm connections. Usually silly money and plastic but Axminster have started doing them in powder coated steel for a reasonable amount. I was going to make one eventually. I bought a big old oil drum with a sealed lid for it to sit on too.
3. A watch, well new to me. A bit extravagant as it cost 400 quid, its second hand (pardon the pun) and just about mint. New cost is 700 and its only 4 months old.
4. 2 new 3 phase sockets in the workshop so less trailing leads
5. A working pellet boiler for the workshop, needed a new igniter.

Cheers
andy
