About a 2 years ago I purchased a OCIM wp20 8m super flexible hose torch from AliExpress, I've been very impressed with the quality considering the price. Anything up to 200+amps, I've never had any trouble with it and its always stayed cool.

So having been impressed so far with the quality, about 2 weeks ago I bit the bullet and ordered these at less than £40.00 including delivery for both.

I thought I'd take another chance, one for use, one as spares.

It isnt CK, but neither is the price

I'm look forward to trying this.

Barking Mat, have a look at This old Tony on Youtube, he's done a CNC conversion on his mill, he explains it well with some strange humour thrown in as well.

On the back of my purchase the other day of inflatable spray booth, I've just bought on eBay (other online auction sites are available) this extractor fan for £40. Not sure whether to buy a Manometer to check it's doing it's job, but I'll need to test it first anyway.

Gear bag.

I did another Zoro order,
The £4, 16 peice file set, quality is poor on some but the round ones are good.
£3 electrode holder
Kennedy square files
Swisstech centre drills
M20 bolts I will use as adjustable table feet

And a Hermes

Thanks @Hood !

Actually it was last week but here's a few pics of the inside of my new(ish) WSM200 its as clean inside as it is outside. Quite chuffed

My continuing rape and pillaging of FB Marketplace continues, the price of these two stainless bin racks just kept failing, till I couldn't resist.

 

[Tupers]

Two of these things. I don’t really know what they are (apart for heating torches obviously), but they were part of a pewter casting setup.
The straps on the while cylinders pop off but the stack of discs won’t come apart the just rotate.

This old hewing axe, finnish pattern:

This old hewing axe, finnish pattern:

It doesn’t look Finnish(ed)

a joke the danish guys would tell and roll about laughing when I worked for Vestas. I never found it very funny. Neither did the waitress. Every. Damn. Night!

“Are you finished?”
“No I’m Danish”

Been chasing between God's Country and Aberdeenshire all week on wind farm detail, have 2 loads to crane off at wind farms near Newton Stewart and Girvan tomorrow morning then loading a container reach stacker in Glasgow on Monday. Will have covered well over 2000 miles by knocking off time tomorrow so looking forward to a peaceful weekend in the wagon somewhere out of the way. Parked at Stracathro south of Aberdeen tonight, saw this and thought it would be rude not to:

I really must stop the FB Marketplace thing, but for the second time today the rape and pillage continues, this is what happens when you're furloughed and have a large quantity of cash, and well, not bored, but time on ones hands.

All of this stuff was stupidly cheap, really stupidly cheap, couldn't resist again....

Quick release oxy/acétylène raccords in French, dunno in English.

Two stainless and two mild steel engineers set squares, the two stainless are impressively machined, the mild steel ones are, not bad, they've all been in a citric bath this afternoon, as they were all, even the stainless, a bit rusty.

Seven of the Facom OGV 40 range I didn't have, 21 - 30 mm, which I love, my absolute preferred spanners. Seven for the price of one. They had slight surface rust, but some #000 wire wool and oil bought them up 97% like New. .

Must really stop the FB Marketplace thing, but todays been riddled with bargains...

A full skip and a nearly empty lockup. Well. Empty of excess materials.

Fair few 100s of quid of offcuts gone but I'm sick of not being able to get into my lockup.

Thanks @Hood !

Hermes you say?

I've heard that back in the olden days it was normally herpes that people acquired from @Hood ...

Nah just crabs, then I started engineering instead of fishing
