No it was still edible

The cheese on toast never even got in it so wasn’t very good to top it off

Did you Leave the roasting pan in, and then turn the grill on

Nah I ain’t that bad

 

[Tupers]

A big lump of iron. Apparently it was an outboard motor stand but it feels awfully substantial for that.

 

[brightspark]

ever tried lifting a 75 hp outboard motor

 

[Dr.Al]

A very nice (and free) package full of bits of Delrin from a very generous soul on this forum (clutch pencil and scriber aren't related: they're in the photo just because they were on the bench when I took it)

Thanks @DAPPH !

Some bits to service the Jeep, after failing to get an air filter to fit the XJ locally it had to be eBay



The engine is minging, EGR was leaking and made a huge mess so this is to try and get the engine cleanish, was recommended by a mate but on arrival it looks like it is just caustic soda

 

[DAPPH]

That looks very similar to the military's Bedford RL series that was prevalent when I was in the mob. Learned to drive and took my test in one. Dad used to do his crust when I was out in his car practising as I constantly stalled - considerable difference in the length of the clutch pedal strokes was the cause. I've never forgotten the quick method for replacing the front tracta joint seals on the 4WD versions.

Yet another butcher who has been practicing the black art of tracta joint seal replacement ?

Today/last week I acquired nothing...I promised to be good.....and its doing me in...

 

[The_Yellow_Ardvark]

Today I made space by filling another space.
@Dr.Al Gave me a vice, it will be donated to a MIS. But the current situation means it can not go to a new home.

So it is lodging with me.

So a bit of oak and time.



This was hand made, no power tools. It was very early.
The finish is warm Teak oil.



Sitting it her new Temp. home.
Again No power tool was used to fit the Raw plugs and screws.

So.



Hand operated Raw-Plug Hammer drill was used.
@Chillitt Yes it is. It looks and works good.

I got worried when you mentioned "grinder" then felt flooded with relief when I saw the photo's

Today's acquisitions for me were a pair of shiny new wind deflectors for the wagon so I can drive with the windows down without the wind hurting my right ear, and leave the windows down at night and not worry about rain getting in.

And after backing into a yard that was barely big enough for half a dozen Transit vans, (let alone 2 artics with stretched trailers ) and unloading 52 tons of rail, a very happy contractor gifted me a brand new boiler suit. Hi-viz and full rail spec, it's just the job for keeping the rail boys happy .

But as I'm parked in a lay by near Uttoxeter, it's peeing down with rain, and I'm in bed, photos will not be forthcoming .

It's good stuff, definitely more to it than caustic soda, I use it in my ultrasound tank.

Is it ok with aluminium?

 

[galooph]

A while back, I made some props for a short film that a friend of mine was directing. It was released last night, so I acquired an mention in the film credits as Prop maker

 

[Wightsparks]

Came home to find this outside the door, a casual acquaintance had mentioned that his garage had a broken one going spare - but he was not even sure if it was broken. It's a 4 gas analyser as used by MOT stations many years ago to fail your souped up fiesta for having its cats removed..

 

[Maker]

I think so, it leaves your hands feeling slimy so it must be a bit caustic but it's probably only a problem if you submerge the parts in neat, boiling solution, I wouldn't have a problem using it.

 

[Olderisbetter]

picked up this square today from freecycle, not sure if it was for making woodwork or clothing.
