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

[Arc Tourist]

I think you misread. ISI is the brand, it's just a cream whipper ……………………...

I must be getting old.

 

[Arc Tourist]

Got to say, I love the "REAL Whip Cream"bakery goods here in the UK compared to the artificial carp available in California; yum, you can actually feel your arteries hardening.

I did acquire something today...well. previously acquired but didn't realise I had it amongst the spares pile...this rather cool bsf spanner.

First lot, care of @Dr.Al



B&D Quattro Drill.
We know there are issues with it. But I plan to use it as teaching aid.


A good and tidy hand drill.





A Vice, a blacksmith odd leg vice.
I think the hot spanner is needed.

A half dozen of these are always handy to have available set up with different bits, drills, screwdrivers, countersinks and even rotary stones.

More heavy metal.



Neighbour down the road handed this to me today. He thought it was going to worth some money, turns out it is not.

My Hermes dropped a parcel of today.
I have a care package from a friend. I knew it was arriving, but not the contents.




Same orientation has given to me by the driver.



Filler, teak oil, cotton cloths, wire wool and some foam applicators.

As we thought, on the main land.
No electricity on the island.

 

[MikeBB1970]

Hmmm, I have a kettle and a wick plus a glass flute somewhere....

Would you like an old tobacco tin Ardvark ? I see you like to clean them up. I may be able to find another type of tin too.
I used to smoke Three Nuns ; used to buy it in Bookers but they had the health warnings on them.
Smaller tins which I have sadly lost when we moved home.

Back in the 60's you could get a set of spanners the same as that. There were about 6 in the set all held together with a spring clip, black finish and very reasonably priced. If memory serves they came in a red cardboard carton.

I wish I had the others. Be very nice addition to have the set.

3rd pic that dont look like rubber power cord lead?

It took me quite a minute, there is no guard. But then I ran all my saws without guards.

I know, I know. But piecework man......

Just this evening collected a large ultrasonic cleaner from work. Looking forward to using it. It’s been wrapped in polythene in a shed for a few years. I’m hoping it still works.

Katsu die grinder.
240v powered - and again (as with the burnisher) much bigger and chunkier than i was expecting.
Not used in anger, but it seems solid, and well-built- and will do the job i bought it for (removing excess weld from internal corners in angle iron).

Just need to order a pointy-cone tungsten carbide bit now...

Got one of these. Works well but just annoying its 6mm chuck rather than 1/4".

I've been looking at one of those katsu drum sander/burnisher things now, having seen it used on that road plate. Very tempted, lots of different drums available, although they are not particularly cheap (the additional drums), it does look like a pretty useful thing though.

Got given this yesterday:

 

[Exuptoy]

Got the Bosch die grinder like those Katsu onesin 110v flavour. Fixed revs at something silly
Using it with a carbide burr produces loads of needle like spikes.
