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

[The_Yellow_Ardvark]

New Hot air gun.

It is unused and complete.

I notice the step type face from these but not sure if im quite on the mark

I dont think so they are too small and hard, Winchboy is going to take a few to work to see if any one can identify them, I dont want to weight them in if they are worth more!

Look to me to be some sort of automatic adjustment mechanism. From what I have no idea but they just have that look about them

Went to pick up a Hydrovane 25 compressor for a mate and spotted 3 fly presses and a mini 850 engine with box and spares

Finally included a link for the cheap banggood end mill cutter I bought earlier this month.

Been a bit busy, so today was the first time I have used the cutter, and even then, only on some aluminium, just one pass, and probably the wrong speed.





It cuts.


[£27.75 22% OFF]MT2 M10 50mm Face End Mill Cutter with 10pcs APMT1604 Carbide Inserts Turning Tool Mechanical Parts from Tools, Industrial & Scientific on banggood.com https://banggood.app.link/jSKzBVZXm4


I also got the Chinese lathe (a kind member here sold me), moved from the big shed, and onto the workbench of the wee hut. I can now finally make a start rebuilding it.

Best thing I’ve ever bought was that motorbike scissor lift with wheels I moved the 100lb+ lathe bed and head all by myself, including up onto the workbench. First rule in life, work clever, not hard, although my back is definitely complaining.

I work clever......still bloody hard work.

Went skip diving. Mad what has been thrown out.
Picked out of the bottom of a skip at one of the sites we work at.

Drills are Cleveland or Presto.
Some of the reamers are dormer.
Milling Cutters are Clarkson.
Chuck is a Jacobs made in Sheffield and the arbor is also Jacobs. Was really rusty but cleaned up good.
Sykes circlip tool is missing the points and a bolt.
Nowt wrong with the chain hauser.
Trolley is for a portable pump but it was the mint switchgear I wanted.

Too much metal in the other skip to get to the bottom god knows what could be in the bottom. These idiots that work here don’t even know what a morse taper drill is. Some have been “used” in a drill chuck looking at the ring worn in them.

@Olderisbetter I'd be interested in one of the flypresses if they're for sale.

Come over for a beer, it’s free !!!

 

[4String.]

A tidy locker on the trailer, after fitting the shelf I made last weekend:




Straps and ratchets sorted, main lifting slings and shackles within easy reach, and the wander lead for the steering axles safely out of harms way . Also fixed the most annoying air leak I've ever experienced after I changed a dodgy 4mm pipe connector under the driver's seat. No more laying in bed at night listening to the air draining away and getting annoyed with the previous drivers who couldn't be bothered to look after the wagon . Chuffed to bits at getting stuff sorted, just 2 more minor leaks under the cab to fix, and 1 under the gaiter on the gear stick range change switch which has "entertaining" written all over it .

I’m not joking, it really is free tonight

The front of a Mini Clubman that I don’t have the space for or really need but delivery was free.

Get the front grille, lights etc.

Will make an excellent BBQ.

Some of my old muckers at GCS Johnson heavy haulage at Barton Park had been at it for 4 hours trying to get 2 big modular 300 ton rigs out of their yard, not helped by lorry "drivers" abandoning lorries at the services and clogging the road up...

Hadn’t realised they were your former employer, had some dealings with them in the early 80’s - they subbed for us doing Case skid steer loaders when I was at Poclain, even pinched one of our drivers!
