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

Ahh, I see now. TBH most of this is beyond me but your set up looks pretty comprehensive

Makes nice noises and drums and turns em into songs with some effort

Gets me away from using a pc and a mouse and makes it a more tactile experience

No piccie?

That looks like a lot of fun.

Too many buttons for me though.

Sounding really good around six minutes....

How is the music coming on got any finished tracks?

Not seen your music thread in a while.

What was it called?

Cheers, Mat

I treat picks as a workshop consumable , tried loads of different makes and have been pleasantly surprised by Rolson’s which have lasted way longer than my Snap On set. The ones from machine mart are rubbish

I've modified old screwdriver's in the past on the rare occasions I needed a pick. Thanks for mentioning your positive experience with the Rolson picks, I'll be on the lookout for a set. For what they are, I can't see the need to spend a lot.

Its sat in my Ultrasonic cleaner. The OEM basket doesnt have many holes. Apparently they work differently with different types of basket

Challenged



I've got dribs and drabs started that need to be fleshed out but the last 18 months has been more of a learning curve refining workflows and getting everything to work as it should

I'm done with new gear for a while and just want to get stuck Into some projects

The multitrack harddrive recorder I got last week is key
Gonna have to commit and lay down tracks to build up a song

This is about as far as I get

One sequence jam that needs to be copied out and have variations added to create a track

Problem is next time I play Im in a different mood and start something else

I know a guy who has a lot of the pink stuff. Reckons the amount that gets ‘borrowed’ is near zero now

I like them. I have the short ones but need a longer set.

I've heard of a few people having pink stuff to stop it getting stolen, i just like the colour. The long ones are very useful. Not needed as often but worth having.

I've only ever broken a couple in 15 years of using them, and that was abuse really. These new ones have a better finish than my old Snap-on ones. Plenty of good ones out there. I have some Facom ones that are very good.

The Pick of Champions. Ullman USA. I got 10 20yrs ago. 4 are still brand new.
As the end wears off them (very slowly I might add) they get modified.
Good for circlips etc as well as O-rings

Always heard good things about Ullman but can't say i've ever used them.

You might discover that mesh basket has just the right hole pitch to totally mask the effect . . .

have the exact same one, ideal for the 30litre tank for smaller parts, works just fine... can you explain what your concern is regarding the mesh?

Motor Standard. Came from the same place as my tractor, for free (sort of, I fixed his ride on mower the other day) This is big, stands three feet tall and has a 2T engine of about 15hp. Harrow included with the plough. Unused for over 20 yrs, but all there. Other neighbour cheerilly told me about the guy in the village who selected reverse by mistake on a similar one and it chewed him up...

Now I need a straw hat and dog to look the part.

School in the 50s logging crew 8ft 2 handed saw & axes varied.
PS. I am the good looking one

Cement! 3 bags of it.....in Wickes! Mind you I had to travel. The website says Erith has 120 in stock. When I got there they had precisely NONE.

I'd clocked coming in an abandoned trolley by the tills with 6 bags on. As I'm standing looking at the empty shelves a Wickes guy brought the trolley back and said "That's all we've got, do you want the lot?"

It's like rocking horse poo round here at the moment.

Which one's that?

It may well work - but might work better (or worse) with a different mesh - have a read of this by an ex-colleague at the company I used to work for:

Reader Questions - Baskets for Ultrasonic Cleaning - CTG Technical Blog

In a properly designed ultrasonic cleaning tank, the ultrasonic intensity will be relatively uniform throughout the volume of the tank.

John knew a bit - been involved for 52 yrs in ultrasonic cleaning.

Think I've got the same one. Last of the big ones before the brushless ones, had it drilling 20mm from a 10mm pilot into a duct today as couldn't find the holesaw. Beast, you need the side handle on low speed.

Bought off ebay, and just arrived today. I’ve been thinking of making some of these clamps for a while now, but I saw these, put in a bid and won.

No sizes were given in the listing, and it turns out they are big. I didn’t have a mug handy for scale, so the chess set will have to do.

I probably won’t need them all, but who cares.
