Morticing chisel?

Absolutely no idea I don't do anything with wood

 

[Freddy0309]

Those are for cutting square holes in wood.

Makes sense I suppose

 

[Freddy0309]

Just googled it and yup spot on

Plus a Toffee sponge cake to boot.
On your washing machine check you have the same plastic on the door catch, both on the door and in the machine.
We had one and it was always breaking until British Gas engineer replaced it with a decent aftermarket one.

Well got to have something to munch on whilst I figure where I'm putting everything lol and that the tumble dryer not had any problems with the catch yet (touch wood) but still got 3 month warranty on it

Yep, those chisels are for a motrice machine - I have one and a very handy thing it is too, when you need/want to cut a few mortice & tenon joints as I did when making a folding table for the garden from offcuts of mahogany a friend gave me.

Wish we had access to decent boot sales closer to hand up here, but it'd be a couple of hours drive to get to anything half decent - otherwise all you get is PTA ones with mothers selling outgrown kids' clothes and discarded plastic toys which have been lying in their garden since the little dears decided it was more fun to play with cardboard boxes.......

@Freddy0309 If you don't have a need for those V blocks I'd be happy to buy them off you, depending on price?

Picked this up off gumtree for £50 as 'broken'. Stripped the pump down, cleaned the valves and it now works a treat. Im hoping I can do wet blasting with it. 11 LPM enough??

nice spot welder

Father in law is clearing out his storage unit and gave me this. Don't know what I'll use it for but im sure I can have a play about. Must be over 30 years old as he stopped doing body work that long ago.

Not bad wee weekend haul!

Hi

I found myself a wee submarine spanner at the farming of yester year event in Perth. For the sum of £2. Sorry no mug for scale.

Regards

Never seen one of those before, but have often used some pocket change to make a bigger spanner smaller in an emergency.

A plumbing valve, with a rubber ball in it, which someone will be telling me what its for, because I don't know.

 

[Tinbasherdan]

A bonser model Tf truck. Dragged it out of a barn today as a present for our dad, he has a floataire version too that he takes to shows around Cumbria. 10 minutes and we had it running and driving around , it'll get a full working restoration over the winter and be shown during the summer he loves these little 3 wheel things

Looks like a two port central heating valve to me. It should have an actuator on the top.

like chris I never seen one either but its before my time so im not ashamed.
i had a wee google and it seems its a WW2 huber No1 adjustable spanner.
i suppose it was the predecessor of the adjustable spanner we know today.
a nice little tool to have, not for its use but for its ingenuity and history.
id say if it could talk.....
it id have some interesting stories.

dont go shining it up, the patina on it right now makes it.

My friend in Ohio sent me this picture the other day, didn't think much about them. until the Submariners spanner was posted by @Am333rcr

i was at a tool sale yesterday, a crowd id deal with times dose have an annual tool sale of end of line, surplus or slow moving (be the way like) tools and stock, the first sale was about 4 yrs ago and it was cheap, the second one was as good but when they got the customers built up i see now things have gone up 5-10 € more than before.
most of the brands are quality, beta, sp, facom, ruko and there is more and more cheap stuff now i see, tang, neilsen, silverline and jefferson were there too, the latter lot wouldnt be my cup of tea in a lot of their stuff.

its still between 25 - 60% cheaper than normal with an odd thing with up to 80% off yet but its normally something that you wouldnt use anyways so no big prizes there.
like the rest of the times i was at it i splurged a bit but i got some good value too.

140 ruko hss bits in 9's, 10, 4.3, 7 , 3, 12 cost me £40 approx.
its not a steal but its not dear either.
