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

That will knock the livin' chyt out of the engine.

How do you mean?

How do you mean?

An unbalanced and larger radial load on the mains, most likely.

 

[indy4x]

3d mouse.
Told you not to worry @HughF

Wish I'd bought one years ago.

Might as well try it out while I design the new desk and shelves for the office

Is that the one that was in the For Sale section?

I had a look at them online and couldn't decide if it would help, might give one a go

Passed on that to Hugh but popped a load on my eBay watch list. Got one the same

Make sure you tweak the settings to suit
Object mode the puck controls the model.
Other option controls the camera and feels more natural to me

 

[Maker]

Might be persuaded to get a second one to go above it in the future

Aye, but you'll use them at two separate screens.

A big 4k monitor can be one big screen, two stacked ultrawides, two or three vertical windows, four normal 16:9 windows or whatever weird combination you fancy.

In hindsight id rather have two ultra wides side by side. If/when I deal with the office il have the space to do it

I'd really recommend it: they make a huge difference for any 3D CAD. They pop up cheap every now and again on ebay so it's worth keeping an eye out. I used to have the "Space Mouse", but bought a 2nd hand "Space Explorer" last year: they're even better as they give you lots of configurable quick buttons to lock the rotation or switch to a particular view (and they're less likely to move around on the desk as there's a wrist rest, although I never really had a problem with that on the Space Mouse).

Just steer clear of the really old ones as they don't work with modern versions of Windows. If it's listed on this page, you're good to go; if it's listed in the Product drop down on this one, steer clear of it.

Seems little chance of the mower that hasn't run for years, has no petrol in it and is on its side bursting into life, and the tool I made to pull the disc off ripping all the wheels off it, destroying the bench and probably me, and them running a bearing, but I will watch out for that. Oh and the plug lead is off too. Cant be too careful..
Is that really what was meant?

I am missing my 3mm Facom Allen key and need it to remover the wire fred roller from my Minarc Mig Evo as I’m replacing the liner.

We have screwfix, toolstation and Axminster within walking distance of each other so thought I’d give Axminster a try as screwfix only had Magnassun which I don’t like much and tool station has Silverline crap in. Rather than trying to find just one Allen key I bought a set for £13.99 and must say I’m quite impressed with the quality

To stop people fretting I thought I'd best try something else. This didn't work either..

I have a solution

large tray ctric acid and heat leave quite a while (week or so) done well on something i derusted


doing that way your loosing some of the breaking force take the wheels off put over 2 tressels or tables then try removing as then gravity will help as your sliding the hammer

only problem i can see doing it as you are or as i described would be if the deak is weaker than the rusted on joint and pulls the motor through the deak of the mower

 

[Hopefuldave]

Interesting blade... what's your lawn, bamboo?
Must be a bit off-balance though...

We used to have a 3’ cut ex-council mower, that had a large aluminium disk that took combine harvester knives. Proper scary when one got ripped out on ruff ground

 

[zeppelin builder]

a new wood burner the old one bit the dust after 25 years of abuse
fitted in but initial results were dissapointing till i twigged sic ,the jackdaws had been working on the chimney 'unlined , for the past two weeks it was out of service
so sweep is booked this,week
it certainly burns very slowly with little ash
so should be spot on with more draught
handy for a bit forging when the mrs is at work

 

[gaz1]

yeah chimneys blocked there

tell by all the sooting

bottom one is for under pan for quick start top one as is now is open and used more so when you are using wood however i did use it as a glass wash and to cerculate the smoke a little nore from the coal

also used to slow down the burn but i was naughty

rocket stove inside of one of them to note it had a fire brick deflector plate on his stove so was able to test it

i also got 4 hrs of heat out of it for doing it that way with soft wood

 

[Tangledfeet]

Today I acquired a new pressure switch for my air compressor; many here might have read about the weekend's exploits elsewhere...

This Italian NE-MA switch is much, much beefier than the Chinese Lefoo originally fitted to my FIAC - several times the weight.
