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

[MattF]

I hope so. I'm not planning on working this Friday or the Monday following either.

Lovely. I never know about them unless someone tells me.

....finally after a lot of trying, a feel for my spokeshave.

Tried and tried for a couple of years but just couldn't get to grips with it, but gave it another go this afternoon on a plank of ash that I acquired last week for making a canoe paddle and it just seemed to click . It really is a joy to use and the finish it's produced on sawn timber is superb .

Cheap and nasty mini spot welder for battery tab welding.


Bit of a bugger when you have to repair it before using to stop it going bang

Full report when you have used it I trust, if it is not too spendie I am sure there would be a few of us might like to get one, soldering tags onto cell always seems wrong.

The opposite end of the spectrum to sako243's drill bit. I came across this dinky little spanner yesterday, a Britool 8 and 10 BA .

Strut braces. Also more trim to make the car look angrier. The difference in performance is outstanding, but the car vibrates more now - dodgy engine mounts?

It's been a great week for junk acquisition, my daily exercise coinciding with local folks' spring cleaning.

Today I picked up a Erbauer HVLP electric spray system. Working but needs a proper cleaning out. Lazy user...

Yesterday I got what was a 1980s Puch 6 speed racer but modified. Needs cleaning and air in the tyres.

Wednesday was the very best. My wife told me of a chap on FB putting out free stuff from his garage, two streets away. Looked like some tools there. I'd been looking for a block and tackle and a cordless drill recently, so I went to look. The few tools he had included ..... a block and tackle and a cordless drill!

I was taken aback by the drill! He had bought it new and said it stopped working (after light use) and probably needed new brushes, but he'd never bothered to investigate.
I slipped him a drink for that and picked them up in the car. Charged the batteries, they held charge and it worked. I stripped it down to clean it (as there was some swarf and bits around the motor) and the one brush I checked, it was barely worn. Not tested the batteries in use yet, but worth re-celling if needed.

Those Hilti drills are awesome
I used to do a lot of work for MAN and their installation team had them as part of their kit which we used to use. As @zx9 said - proper torquey things

That’s a lovely mug, but maybe a bit small?

 

[Radar 3]

Bit off subject. But nearly got cleaned up today with a numpty taking over on double white lines. Want is the best camera ,we could have died!

 

[bricol]

I'm using an old Nextbase - as long as you format the card everyweek, its quite good.

 

[Jan-DIY]

300+450 tig Acdc.

Will have a closer look soon.

Dashcam? I've got a Transcend, not sure what model, gives a good image.

EDIT: think it's a drivepro 250

Having sold my valve grinder I happened upon the opportunity to buy this one for just $60. It’s in much worse condition than my other one but still works, and has loads of spares, it’s amazing actually. Belts, duplicate castings, grinding stones, collets. I thought the price was a mistake!

Hello,

Do you have a manual for this machine? I have found a Valvemaster FE. The machine is very complete but I don't see how the rocker grinder works.... Can you advise me there?

Thx,

Pieter

Yet another type of thing I class as a weekly. Blind curves & bends, blind brows, double whites etc. I dice with death on a weekly basis. Good job I stay on the ball. I seem to have a sixth sense for numpties, & I encounter more than my fair share.

Don't like the look of that pallet, or the tie wraps holding it on. Nice anvil though, how heavy is it?
