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

[Dr.Al]

Yesterday I acquired three new blue toys (cordless angle grinder, drill and screwdriver) that fit very neatly on the aluminium box where I store my existing two angle grinders:

Makes a nice change not having to spend a long time figuring out where to store new stuff! Just need to make a wall-mounted rack for the gert big Makita battery charger.

If you manage to do an open top box out of these pieces and still have enough for hinged lid would you please get back to me , I'm after a box of roughly those dimensions to put the caravan hydraulic jack in now the cardboard box it came in has died.

That sounds like a very small jack that it would fit in a 125 mm sided cube. Tell me what you need anyway and I'll see what I can do.

i bought a metal spinney thing!

its pre war, and i mean ww1, not ww2.

its got a 'modern' add on, which is a stand for a motor instead of running it from a belt shaft. (im lead to believe it had a similar one originally but without the motor mount holes)

it needs.

a chuck key
a tool holder
a motor
a base making for it
a spot of tig brazing to repair a bearing housing
a reverse gear, someone seems to have switched it into reverse under load. however, i am also lead to belive with a modern motor on it i wont need reverse. we'll see.

oh and a load of tooling.


its only little, but it should get me started.

If you are ever near IWM Duxford, They have one of those in a lorry body Plus all the other stuff to make a complete workshop. including the engine that powers it all.

Mentioned to my niece i was going to spend some time making pictures on my pc and editing a few old pictures and today she did a drive by and dropped off her old Wacom pad, it need a new stylus as it fell apart but they are available so it is very useful, the down side is she has added a few stickers on the back

The counter shaft unit you have behind the lathe was an optional extra, which is a nice feature. I also have one I'm going to use for a Lorch project lathe which I plan to put together, someday.
Did you also get the metal guard to cover the motor and drive belt pulleys ?

 

[qwakers]

unfortunately not

 

[Arc Tourist]

unfortunately not

I could take a couple of photos with some measurements tomorrow, if you would like to make your own ?

 

[qwakers]

i wouldnt worry about it, i can fab something up by eye if i need to, but the thing isnt exactly bristling with h&s anyway. so not much point worrying too much

I was given this by my FIL, it's been sat under a tarp in his garden for quite a few years, probably done about 20hrs work tops

Will give a clean and service, will come in handy for the new garage

Last Saturday dropped off some scrap at the local yard and they had this on a pallet.

Its a 2013 model, motor didn't run and the pressure switch was smashed so was cheap



The box on the motor had taken a hit, I had a spare



The wires in the motor were rubbing and the insulation had worn away, sleeved with heatshrink and crimped on some new terminals and shes now a runner.

 

[Matchless]

It is.

I have a spot welder that looks like that, has a control box, three phase, will look tomorrow,

I’m about 3 miles from Duxford as the crow flies or should I say Spitfire? Seen the display you mentioned ,I really don’t visit often enough, such an interesting place. Well worth a visit

Yesterday I emptied the wood store.
Well I emptied it and sorted it.
I knew there was box's of items I had acquired bit not sorted. So This is the contents of the box's. In no order, just as they got pulled and unwrapped and inspected.



Pin drill. The handle was shot with dry rot, it burnt well. Just not for long.

Brass "D" shackle, with a "Crows Foot" stamp.



Ratchet Screwdriver.



Round nose pliers, with the remains of yellow paint.



Handy pulley. The brass shackle is now attached to it, to keep it safe.



Nice welding clamp.
Silvert Gas torch.
Yes the screwdriver appears again, but is hidden.



Roofers axe, there is a crack by the nail notch.
Body file.



Dead Tilly lamp. But complete.

Something to look into.

I knows, I've had one before and foolishly sold it!

It looks like it's been in a carpentry shop so will pop the head and barrels off and give it a clean inside the pump

 

[The_Yellow_Ardvark]

Couple of pumps.

The smaller one will be used for my weed killer.

The big one, a few ideas.

Glad you don't have a lot of weeds. Last year I tried the formula using vinegar, fairy liquid, and Epsom salts; it worked surprisingly well.
