Today I acquired...........

[Olderisbetter]

A bit like the idiot that decided to build a lay-by on the A14 opposite Cambridge Crematorium, just few yards before the M11 junction 14. Any traffic leaving the lay-by for the M11 literally took their life in their hands, I don’t think the lay-by was open a week before it was closed

Maybe he had shares in the Crematorium..

Linky Please

 

[Pigeon_Droppings2]

Search ebay item 312981769697 seller is scottstores. Also item 312988175507...looks like he sells job lots. I was tempted by the rivets he has and some of his other stuff looks interesting and descent prices.

I have no link to the seller...just came across when I was looking for clips.

Bought this last week, noticed the hand looked rusty in the sellers pics, a quick message confirmed it was rust. Listed at £40. I offered them £20. Doesn't look to have been used, strange how the dial has suffered water ingress but the bright work hasn’t.

Didn’t matter as I wanted it for the attachments, so 20 was a fair price.



Took the back off, and there doesn't look to be any corrosion. Beautifully made, the bezel came off and a little clean, it looks a lot better.

It can go in the ‘I don't want to use my best/ stuff/ you can borrow this one box’

Its a shame, nice bit of kit. Silly money to buy new

Actually have a lever too which is mint.

Might have another somewhere in the unsorted boxes

electric stairlift, ebay, £10.50 bit of a drive though, 4 miles away, near to Lidle, may collect it Thursday! thinking the motor etc could be handy to motorise a bead roller, reversing, must be quite powerful to lift a 20+ stone person up stairs and slow geared, will post some pictures when I get and strip down, worst ways might need it in a few years!

Sure those numbers are right? Can't find them, or scottstores

 

[Pigeon_Droppings2]

Yea they must have gone...they have best offers on his listings....rivets look good too...but would I use a few thousand rivets!

Search for 2000 in total hose clips...he has a big lot still for sale on ebay

20 boxes were too many even for me

That's the one...he's got some interesting stuff for sale...I was tempted by the 2000 clips...but was worried it would only fuel my addiction....

I'm watching the smaller number but I'll not be getting into a bidding war. Looks like he's clearing liquidated stock?

Thats basically what I did....bid £10 at the end and won!

Think if he just split the 20 boxes into boxes of 1,2,3 he'd get them sold quicker...but maybe doesn't want the hassle.

Bought a cheap set of 1-2-3 blocks, in a wooden box. Gave them a quick wipe, but still lots of grease to clean off them.


Oooh... new toys....

I acquired a very stern look from my old man for snapping his very useful pipe wrench.
He’s had it longer than I’ve been around.
