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

[Anguz]

A grayson lathe... never heard of them?

 

[Tupers]

More treasure. Hopefully the bench grinder will be the solution to my pedestal grinder woes and the carbide burrs were 5 for the price of 2.

 

[BarrieJ]

Don't ask why .
It was just there and free.

Three Locks, just down the road from us, judging by the eating experiences of people posting on Trip Advisor, you got the most edible bits of it. Used to be good, as per the Globe Inn, also on the Grand Union and just down the canal/road from the Three Locks, that too has gone downhill. If you're in the area and looking for fine dining (or indeed a decent pub meal) avoid both.

Found some old car and workshop manuals on a free local site

This nicely made Sass abs Belle small suitcase was left in my shop when the toy people left so i gave it to my neice but first it needed a coat of clear laquer as she wants to add a few travel stickers

This might be put into use and empties every year to pay towards tools

Slate roof pins/rivets

 

[indy4x]

@Olderisbetter The penny headed are for imitation slate roofing tiles, stops them lifting

Edit: Too slow

 

[Turbo]

I have just acquired one of these. I'm fitting downlights throughout the house for the old fella so thought i would save myself the heartache of measuring out on the ceiling and using a chalkline. Its a dream using this, such a clear laser line.
£95.

I have my doubts if that can throw a line across a ceiling.

Slate roof pins/rivets

Tingles I know them as, that could be a local term though.

Another of this weekends purchases. According to a couple online calculators it’s just shy of 1hp so might be I ther option for my grinder motor.
