[Pigeon_Droppings2]

There seems to be no end in sight for my hose clip addiction...

£13 delivered...bargain...made in USA too

I bought a cheapneese version which was handy...allows you to make up your own hose clips...very handy.

A feeling of relief.

Fitted a new gpu to the computer yesterday.
Getting brownouts when 3d graphics were underway.
Guessed at the PSU

5 minuites later with a bang and a flash I was proved correct..

I'd already ordered a new modular PSU before it blew.

The feeling of relief.

I didn't toast any components when It blew.

New supply fitted and working. Might be able to get a stable oc now

Similar to me when I fitted a new charging port to my old HTC phone and it worked!

Very tiny screws!!!

Lol. I'd just spent 100 quid on the GPU. 80 on ram.
Another 140 on SSD.
My fingers were tightly crossed

I don't understand any of the above ^

I don't understand any of the above ^

Storage graphics and working memory
All of which might have been scrap.
Would have been a good excuse to upgrade though

and nearly let all the magic smoke out.

Though they were a gonner.
I had the case open and was right next to it when it blew. Nearly messed my pants.

Favourite joke to play on Noobs at the pc shop I worked at..

Give em half a dozen scrap PSUs to test but switch the voltage controller to 110v on a couple of em...

My local B+Q was selling off some metal MK Dis boards for £60 each and after a bit of haggling i got 2 for £90, He said they are selling them off at other stores but my local had about 20.

Found on eBay it's a 3D printed base you have to solder wires and screw it in place
10 euros
I have an 18V lamp I want to recover
A friend of mine can give me more Hitachi 18V nicd tools

That just seems to be a general purpose adaptor (I don't speak German), I was looking for something that takes the lidl battery with a top that slots straight into the Hitachi power tool.

I could make something up, I have a few dead Hitachi batteries & when I bought the Lidl batteries they all came with a charger each so I could perform some surgery & make a Hitachiside battery!

I always found it worse when working on someone else's machine.

That's definitely something to do , don't forget to make a thread or at least post the photos on the thread stuff you made today
Because I'm curious to see how you end up
You can use the adapter and the dead battery to make a transition adapter
Because the charger has no detents for the battery

(Yesterday) I acquired a scaffold.

Not a clue why, there was only one person in when they put it up and he didn't think to ask. We phoned our letting agent and the woman there didn't even know about it. It looks like they're coming back to extend it round the side of the house so I'll ask if I see them, it doesn't appear to be at a useful height for any work I can think of.

Your Missing the point here Adam

Think of how much drunken fun will be had on that structure

When you get bored (or if some one gets hurt) how many sales opportunities have you got for useful bits of metal and wood

 

[Maker]

Oh I'm not complaining. We had it up last year to repair a leaky roof, tonnes of fun.
