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

[Parm]

How much for the Danish oil?

 

[The_Yellow_Ardvark]

@Parm

The whole lot cost me £10, next time I am in town I will ask.

 

[The_Yellow_Ardvark]

I said I would keep the best to last of todays rummage.

Chain saw sharpener, it pops the fuses in the plug, but hand spin the remains of the blade and it runs Ok.



Mole Vale farmers sell spares, looks like a quick trip for a new blade. After I striped it down to see if it is worth it.

I hate you all.....there's nothing much like your sources anywhere near where I live, I think....someone from south Essex tell me otherwise, PLEASE!

 

[The_Yellow_Ardvark]

Good news.
Well not, @Parm will be smiling.

That chain saw blade dresser, what a croc of carp, a real pile of soft brown ship.

Sorted the running issue out with some 2 pack glue and some hot glue. Thought I did.

The 2 capacitors on the motor are shot, no markings, no help from manufacture website. Oh well just spin and start.

Right, of to get a new disc.
Blow that.
New disc, as near as dam it £15.

New machine is only £22.

So, today I acquired additional weight in my scrap and rubbish pile.

25 litres of Armstead concrete floor paint!
All in opened.
I've told the missus I need a bigger garage so I can use it.....

 

[dobbslc]

BTW free!!!

 

[slim_boy_fat]

BTW free!!!

I've had a Google and it's £30+ per tin.

 

[The_Yellow_Ardvark]

Not a "Today I........"

But something I have had for a while, the mug as well.

But I am after some information.

What type of axe is it and a rough age?
I have bean told it is a "Fire Mans' Axe" or a "Roofers Axe" to a "Woods Man Axe". I lean towards a Roofers axe, but may be wrong.

How to you fit a shaft?
No hole in the top to take a wedge. I did have the remains of a wooden shaft, no wedges in it either.
The holes had bent nails in, I long ago binned them.

Any help please.



PS @Parm

Bar Steward !!!!!!!!!

I'm sure it's a roofers hatchet. Choppy bit for cutting slates, little indent for pulling nails from under tiles and othe end for picking your nose lol

That axe I used for many years and still have a few We used them as Slaters but in actual fact they were originally termed a Lathe Axe.
They were used to put the timber lathe on to accept hair plaster. The blade chopped the lathe batten. We used them for concrete tile, long before Sthil saw came out. You basically hacked the tile to shape to go around soil pipes etc. You could slice big tile by taking a notch out of each end, then tapping the tile down that line, to break a cut for a verge. The mitres for hips and valleys were the trickiest.
All a long time ago.

Looks to me like it was a Drywall hammer, (something I used for several years when I was young,) or as they say here in the UK, a Dry Lining hammer.

You need to meet a mate of mine, as he said yesterday "Everything you will ever need turns up in the scrap one day!"

Quick one.
Oooh Errr Miss'

Whats the watts and the current? Any swing on the Volts O/P.

 

[dobbslc]

It's out of an alarm system control panel, no label to say the wattage but not that big I'd assume.
5 amps out at 12v. No adjustment as far as I can see.
De-rusting tank ?

 

[knighty]

5amps at 12v is 60watts
