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

[redlig]

Exactly. It will be handy when I do need to use it I'm sure of that!

Or as I have based my life on "it will come in handy even if I never use it"

Picked up the genny this morning as my old one the coil went and it was too heavy by meself

then called to me mate that’s a chippy and he’s all dewalt now so got a grinder and drill for free drill chucks a little stiff from lyin in the shed

 

[Tangledfeet]

Two items in particular this week, both from MJB Engineering - aka @Brad93 !

One of his basic grinder racks, something I've been meaning to acquire for ages. My 4.5" grinders fit perfectly even though he went out of his way to check and ensure they would do, he even contacted me last Saturday as he made it before he went away on business - I did tell him there was no rush but he wouldn't listen!

Also, one of his owls - a (late) present for my wife's elderly Aunt. Designed for outdoor mounting in a post or fence but I made a wee stand for it, with non-slip silicone feet, so she can stick it in a window inside.

Many thanks Brad, trust you've been able to get back to the UK from Ireland okay.

New old stock hydraulic Chuck turned up today. Had been watching this for awhile. Made a very cheeky offer that was accepted

 

[Bornfree]

Finally got my new torch. Parweld say they supply plugs to fit any welder but not a transtig 350 it seems.

 

[Johnnybravo]

Well, actually earlier this week. Two carver clamps, covered in dust,but seemingly unused. Best part? Free

A great experience. A fun day out with my tractor at the show.

Hi.
My mate is looking for that.
Really interested how it performed.

Powder is not that cheap for it.

But “haben ist besser als brauchen”

No they make big money on powder the likes of Eutectic and UTP.

Has the forum update confused the photos?

I wasnt expecting this to arrive. I'll have to get the tig out.

Also spares are really expensive for that torch.
What I discovered this configuration is for plastic powder coating.
But it is also possible to zinc applying with some changes in nozzle configuration.

What's kind of tig torch is that?

I love what you’ve done with the owl. A lot of people have said oh I don’t have a fence post or tree to bang it into, that’s a Good solution. Looks cool too.

 

[My Old Landy]

I got a 150mm DRO for the quill on my mill. I will post a pic tomorrow after I have fitted it (or a pic of how I ruined it/my mill)

Thanks Brad!

Smallest I have is 25mm box so it is, enevitably, overkill and it could do with being shorter (under the owl) and lower - maybe detracts from the owl itself.

Today I acquired about fifty sheets of second hand white dibond to line out the mancave .

Same as these below, saves painting and its a wipe down finish

[roofman]

Picked this up... a real air chisel

 

[Lewis_RX8]

A bangood set of milling cutters to replace my aging chipped and getting dull ones.

Wasnt sure about bangood but seeing double boosts (john) made me press the button not tried them yet but seem to look alright

Grind looks good to my untrained eye
