A completely ridiculously shaped 77 litre Really Useful Box.
View attachment 223538
Apparently intended for storing Christmas Trees
Should be perfect as a leg vice citric acid bath.
I suppose when I wood chip mine it would fit

Yes thats good advice i will strip it down and check inside that nothing is rotted away making it deadly, It might just be light restore and stick a LED bulb in to use it more of an ornament.Watch out for that..could be an electric chair if not checked inside with that metal case

They were/are a good slow room heater.
They look good with a modern, but old look 3 core cable and a retro plug.
The earth connections with the old wires was very good.
A clean with a cotton cloth, warm soapy water will bring the paint up. The a light car wax will buff it nicely.

Probably get a bit of hum from it, as the mouse inside dries out.

An awful lot of respect for a 99year old bloke who has being doing his daily exercise, isolated in his own garden, while raising (to date) over £10 million (+gift aid £2.5 million).

When he turns 100 i think it would be nice if he got a telegram from the queen with a knighthood inside, what a hero to the people this guy is.

A drawknife, needs a bit of TLC. I just fancied doing the odd bodge now and again so had to get one 
Its actually for the missus, we have grown loads of hazel and willow, we had a big coppicing session a while ago and she's beginning to make all sorts of stuff, I'll probably get the kids to help me make a shave horse.

This seems to be the cheapest on Ebay. Free delivery but based abroad.
Mine was from a British seller 2nd hand. I paid £70.
No idea what quality is like but feels pretty chunky and CE approved. Hooks are rated at 4500kg.
Proper brands go for silly money so worth a try.

But is it? It says so on the picture, but there's nothing to show a label on it that says CE
I just realised - that Ebay link is a generic Chinese one.
Mine is the genuine article - an awesome bargain - but could well be made in the same factory anyway. Looks identical.
