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

[Arc Tourist]

Today, I only acquired some good memories.

Was searching for a couple of items in my storage unit when I uncovered one of the containers of tools that belonged to my Dad. During a nostalgic moment I brought it home, but had a tough time deciding to open it; glad I did though, as the memories it brought back gave me a boost and inspiration to do a lot more than I've been doing lately while in this isolation situation.

The mini bars are NOS and not marked but I think/hope they are 60 degree threaders.
I think I will set up a micrometer adjustable stop switch wired to the vfd before I use these.

TV wall mount for the inverter so it can be put out of the way , also new mains lead ,

Medieval window frame?

I saved this from going in the scrap skip on site today

I think I'll make a window out of it for the workshop.

I like that.

If it were me, I think I would install it without refinishing it and mount an old skull on it as a message to thieves.

Good find - shame about the damage [looks like it's been repaired before?], but I'm sure you'll be able to fix it. What type of building did it come from, private dwelling, workshop, commercial premises?
