Happy ME.
Oh what a happy MEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE(not him).

Not a hammer.

But I have stuff.

Plus I have sampled a few nice Isle of Jura Gold watches.

A friend has visited, plus PDP and UPS have dropped some stuff off.

From Israel.

Some very nice coffee, it is nice I have had it before.

From the good ole US of A.
Whiskey fudge.

But it does not taste of whisky.
So I had to compare with some liquid stuff.
Twice.

The above are from friends wishing me a speedy recovery from surgery.
Thanks good friends.
@Barking Mat The one who cups over flows.

Then my Mad friend (he says he is not but he puts the hammer away in the spanner drawer) shows me the box he has for me.

I hope not, as I will not be using Citric Acid on the brass.
Unless I have a sudden rush of Bristol cities to the head.

Aye, you wish

 

[slim_boy_fat]

Can I pass Norbert to you.

Certainly NOT, you can't pull that on me.

no no we are still having a debate on if you have to hold the wood when swinging the axe or move the wood to the axe before the swing or use mind control to split the wood

for heath and safety any axes need to pass my way before being sent to yourself as we dont want any accidents

 

[cr500dom]

FB marketplace lucky spot, messaged him and went straight out the door to collect them (socially distanced and masked up of course) and grabbed a Chinese take out on the way back as the decoy ‍
Pair of 8” record G-cramps for less than the subsequent Chinese

 

[mechman]

What's the diff between a G clamp and a G cramp? apart from the L &R

well, if it’s a big lump of wood, then hands out of the way and give it a full power swing.

smaller bits to make kindling. Hold, set axe with a light swing then give it some welly

tiny weeny bits, then I use some fire place tongs to hold wood

 

[MattF]

I have one like that and I nearly threw it out because I thought it wasn't working but it was just the bulb gone. I'd get another bulb but I can't find one. Seen lots on ebay but they are in US and lots of postage.

They the ones with wire legs, or lilliput lamps?

Just personal reference.

 

[The_Yellow_Ardvark]

Yes you do.
To practise on.

So I can sleep easy tonight.

No, I have a few additional Norbert's for the likes of you.

What's the diff between a G clamp and a G cramp?

A 'clamp' (sometimes called a 'cramp') is a tool (often made of cast metal) which applies a force to hold two or more objects tightly together. ... The word 'clamp' tends to be used in engineering while 'cramp' tends to be used in woodworking, although to a large extent, the two terms are interchangeable.

A step for the truck.
Got it at Christmas, fitted it a couple of weeks ago, photographed today!

 

[Shox Dr]

Korg Guitar tuner and Metronome. I had downloaded a metronome ap for my phone, but it ate battery. Even when not in use. So I bought this instead.

 

[Gragson]

Yesterday I acquired a 36 page report which according to my boss was a must read for security intelligence.
The actual content I guess would have taken 100's of hours to compile - the front cover....that marketing super star is no weather man, broken 50p tyre gauge.

 

[bricol]

Impressive tyres though, up at 9 bar . . .
