Got given this. One of those bought, little used and left outside to rot Drum is sound but the ring is a bit worse for wear:

Thinking to split it and blast / citric acid bath the ring before trying to make a repair section.

Failing that, could you weld a length of bicycle chain round + use a sprocket to drive it?

A 400mm Vivitar f5.6 lens, FD mount adapted to my trusty Eos M

Shot from about 10m away, f8 and iso 400, hand held. Resized in lightroom but nothing else changed

 

[Brad93]

I might give that a go if I keep having problems....the Stihl runs 2.4mm line and it's a lot better I think then the dewalt line. Easier to load too as it doesn't seem th want to come flying out when you take your hand off.

Buy decent line. Oregon Nylium Starline is wicked

An IP camera in the new poultry shed

Somehow I don't think I will put it on line with that camera name, we may get a few disappointed visitors

The shed is a bit small for the camera lens but it will do for now, it is one of those relatively cheap 4 PoE camera/1TB recorder kits. Over time I'll get decent cameras and probably record to a NAS or better dedicatedrecorder but we needed something quick last year so it did the trick.

Only just unpacked all of the weeks bits from the van fully, speakers and an amp already gone to a lad who will male good use of them.

more old metal bits and gardening tools

A very strong plastic tub on wheels big enough to get an engine block in to clean

3 pallet trucks

A cooler/ heater for the van

And a small oak cabinet

I've been cleaning the little plane that I got in the box of freebies and a free DW 100 band saw.

 

[MikeBB1970]

Apologies , the saw was a close up , I was taking it apart but it's a good 'un now.
I acquired an Airsporter rb type as opposed to a tap loader , paid , not free : )

This week I have acquired a few items. But due to the fact I lost (Misplaced) the camera battery charger. It has taken until now to upload the images.

First off all a big thank you to @barking mat and @MikeBB1970 for the items they sent to me. As @barking mat parcel arrived first.



Gasket sheet, and a note.

But @MikeBB1970 came with 2 items.



BUBBLE WRAP!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Oh yes, a decent Fret Saw.



Thanks to the 2 good members.

My neighbour has taken over an allotment, with a small shed. He is keeping the tools and I snaffled a few useful bits.




Some rough sawn hard wood, that is about 1/8th of the total.





A plastic saw handle. It has a nice feel to hold and should be good to use. But the finish needs to be finished.
Not sure what will happen to it.




A "Space Age" looking motorist torch.
It does work and the top does flash.
Takes 2 x D cell batteries. Looks phallic.





A Paraffin Rail lamp.
It is in a poor state or repair, not complete and has been previously, badly, restored.



A bit of work.

That plane should take a decent edge and can be used on modern plastic as well as wood.

The band saw, if fitted with a narrow blade will cut nice tight curves.

I had forgotten that gun - and what a beauty - much nicer than the German stuff!

Blimey they took their time with thT

Spare belts and tool rests are in the cabinet underneath. You may need a pair of grips to open it, it’s very tight

Wonderful torch, work of art

Will definitely do up the plane Ardvark , it's already quite sharp ,.but well pleased with the band saw . WD40 shifted the motor and it will be used as a saw , not really fussed about using the little disc sander.

I have a collection but no Germans ,eg: weirhauch , I have a 70's Diana mod27 but it's the UK made one , made when Diana machinery all went to Britain as 'war rep'
I'm pleased the Airsporter is a rotary breech and not tap loading , it's pretty good on open sights, looks good that way too. I won't be scoping it.

 

[Wozzaaah]

A sweet little Sony mini system for the shed for just £15
Never had a minidisc player before, didn’t even notice it was one, I thought it was a cassette player until I picked it up. I thought I’d buy a few discs to play with.... then saw how much they cost!
Anyone got any they want to part with?

Wife likes the torch : z

 

[Iain Westland]
