What do you reckon to these @winchman ?

Britool AF deep sockets, 3/8 and 1/2 drive, in their tins. Very happy

A 3mtr long sink for the mancave, one side is heated so it can have solvent with a pump one side and rinse/handwash/kettle filling the other

That is the size of a lot of mancaves, don't fill the kettle from the wrong side, tea will taste funny!

I suspect @8ob will have that covered, with one of these on it.

You really do hold the highest of hope for people, don't you. I'm just waiting for a "muppet" thread.

Another bit of steel from a scrap skip, it is about 200mm wide and 25mm.

I picked up a kenlowe hot start for my v8 disco had to drive to thetford to collect it but was no drama until I started cycling after that

 

[Turbo]

Fixed that for you, when they open I wont be going a mile down the road to the pub for a pint in my car thats on 15" rims then

Bob

Fitted onto those 15" rims are tyres with the width marked in mm!

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...

Katsu stuff is pretty good. I have a Katsu router (looks like the Makita) which I've absolutely hammered and it's been faultless.

Do those hugs come in the size of a wee big dram of Jura?

I'm open to hugs if I'm offered a "wee big dram of Jura"

Dyson DC27 Animal being thrown out at work. Hose disconnected underneath, seal missing out of the collection can and a build up of dirt blocking the vortex chamber from sucking up wet wallpaper then brick dust.
A strip down of all the vortex chamber that is not supposed to come apart, blow out, ultrasonic cleaner for the smaller bits and dishwasher for the bigger bits. £9.98 for the missing seal and a neoprene gasket so far and the filters are washable. Just waiting on the seal and then the trousers can give it a full road test and pull the remaining threads out of the carpet.

My HP cartridges arrived and the replacement head read two as damaged. Swapped the contact block from my original head and after a bit of messing about......

The way @8ob ‘s build is going tea will be out the window and a cappuccino machine in place of the kettle.

We have a DC8 (I think) and I repaired it with bits from another one. It wasn’t component failure but plastic fatigue making the handle brittle. Duct tape only works on the first few cracks! Same story with the head. It’s a hodge-podge of yellow, silver and purple now, but it does work...

I bought my Mother a DC01 back in the early 90's, I kept that one going until a couple of years back when the missus wheeled it in and one of cats chased the wheel into the conservatory. I bought another nice one for £30 and the wheels fell of that one recently! £6 to fix. The other two will go in the loft until something falls off this one or I have to adapt them for Zimmer frame use.
