Today i acquired an empty toy shop as the person who took it over from us has had a career change but i did find a Sass&Belle small suitcase left behind,
Now i have to think should i rent it back out or start something there of my own.

I may have one?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.

Is that the same?

To be fair he’s had it for over 30 years and it’s taken a lot of abuse over the years.
It was made by a company called TOYANG who I’ve never heard of and I’ve never seen them for sale new. I did this this little article during my searching though.
Dad bought it from a company that made something special for oil rigs or drilling so maybe it’s a bit of oil industry gear.
The top jaw is on a ratchet and opens out as you spin it around. Once it’s on a bolt or pipe the jaw tightens as you pull the handle so the harder you pull the more it grips.
It’s a very useful tool.

You'll have to do a test on them and see how good or bad they are, size and squareness wise.

Weirdly, he's pulled all his listings, including one I had my eye on.
The ones with bids on he finished early and took the bid to wrap it up.
Ah yes the excellent MAUN pliers ,American I think ,when my mum was teaching,she had one of their rulers in black,and pressed into a W shape.

I'd have there's no doubt they are British
"Maun Industries Ltd was established in 1944 and is the UK’s largest manufacturer of pliers with a specific design innovation for parallel action tools."

Bit of a shame...maybe we should have bought the lot of 20 boxes (2,000 clips) as a group buy and divided them up between ourselves. £100 for 2,000 clips did seem "a little" cheap to me.
I got 300 for £17 which is about 6p a clip....yea that's very cheap indeed I think.
Looks like he ended everything....I wonder if someone just went in with an offer on everything he was selling (car boot seller maybe?)....or one of us?

I don't believe it does run on grbl, I think that requires some hardware modifications.

Not today.
No, no.
Yesterday.
M4 services, by the Prince of Wales bridge, England bound.
I watch a Green Flag van pull away from a space.
I sip my coffee (not free) and spotted a box of red on the floor.
It looked sad and lonely, even unloved. It was a cold wet afternoon.
So. I got out of my van and took the wet and cold box of red into my care.
Yes. One of those.
Oh well not all there.
I didn't post yesterday, as I forgot.
I was trying to work out this.
How could anyone get lime scale or lime paste on a Record 044 plane.
Or worse.
How they hell I did not see it.
@Chillitt The glue is meant to be runny.
@Parm no you can't have a hammer yet.
@slim_boy_fat You have had at least one hammer.
@mrsbruce You have had hammers and sweeties.
@Tinbasherdan You are not getting the Triton.
No, no.

Couple of years ago there was a narrow boat that sunk on the Thames, lucky no one injured, but when the report was made about what caused the boat to sink, it was because the hull had been repaired, but no ballast had been removed, and with three people standing on the back deck was enough for a hull vent to just go under water, obviously it kept going under water until the boat sunk, owner had only just bought the boat and was the first trip.
