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

[minimutly]

Today I met @fizzy , really nice chap.
Bought one of these, some of you may remember it:-
Plan is to fix it, then convert it to cnc...

 

[Blue Chips]

That’s the American style.

For transporting the cylinder when I swap it for a full one, I remove the regulator (of course) and the yellow cap in the photos and install a typical one-piece valve protection cap like the brown one that you can see sitting on the tool cabinet in one of the photos.

I wonder if that's how I ******** mine then?
I've got a nice 10 litre one that I don't want to bin that was playing up for a while then stopped working, but the price of new ones is now much lower than when I bought it....
My wife has just asked if I can clean her necklace but it's the chain that's rusted so not really going to work, could I get away with buying her a new silver chain and say I needed to get a new 10/15 litre maching to do it with

Would it be worth fitting 4 new transducers from Ebay or buying a new one???

Deception and decisions

Both, then you'll have a spare

Technically my friend acquired but its for something we're working on together...

It's a little bigger than we expected, a propane burner might be a worthwhile investment.

(Please excuse the state of his kitchen)

Anyway, grain and hops are on the way, I might start a new thread when it's all here.

 

[Arc Tourist]

It’s a lovely piece and should work fine for small stuff like you say. Is it one piece cast or has it got a fire welded top?

Looks like one piece. Heavy little bugger to wield under a wire wheel.

Bakers yeast, sugar, water, empty plastic milk bottles and a freezer should get you going much quicker

A bottle of vodka would get me going even quicker but I'd really rather a pint (or forty) of citra IPA.

 

[Tangledfeet]

Today I acquired some MDF, a material that is way up there in my list of unpleasant materials alongside tripe and Turkish Delight.

I've given it a coat of Oso hard wax oil so it'll hopefully be wipe clean as it'll be a more spacious tool wall behind the desk with the rubber mat on it; spanners mainly - they're currently on the OSB on the end of the desk at a most inconvenient height having been relocated there from what had been an even more inconvenient location...

 

[Memmeddu]

Bought my first files .
Both bastard and both Bassoli , good made in Italy stuff .
Anyway a round file 5/32" or 3.9mm 150mm
And a flat one 18x5x150mm

Bought them to sharpen chainsaw chain and file down the rackers ?

Also bought two nice wood handles for them .
I'll fit them tomorrow and I'll upload images.
Think about use linseed oil on the handles after shaving off the clear coat

Another upgrade could be adding some power factor correction capacitors

alongside tripe and Turkish Delight.

Nothing wrong with either of those, jellied tripe and proper home-made chips were childhood treats.

Today its called child abuse

I eat anything and will try everything

Tripe of any description isn’t something I get on with

 

[chrisbeee]

That sounds a little out of my depth...
I’ll just stick to the basics; liner/earth return clamp/ fan / proper regulator/Proper Gas

"When I were a lad" , you had to eat what was put in front of you and leave nothing on the plate....

If you said you didn't like it and tried to 'negotiate' something else, you went hungry and it came back at the next meal. That was a lesson you learned quickly.......

we were the same, but never had to do battle with tripe

 

[Seadog]

Tripe is a delight. There are so many different ways to serve it, and so many different tripes.

I didn't eat meat till my late teens so my mother just stopped putting it on my plate and I had a dinner but without meat. She always said it was because I was too idle to chew it

It isn't. It just has no place on a plate.
