Which body style are you going to use?
That engine looks to have one of the late Mike Scott-Coomber's oil filter conversions.

[James1979]

It’s been like that here for a while. The did say it’s just about peaked but not so sure myself

I never buy steel but rather alu and stainless. I pay as I go so no surprises also not noticed a huge change, once it went up about 5% but next time it was back to normal, then again the last time was a biggish offer so...

I don't buy much stainless or alu but have noticed its not jumped anywhere near as much.

Picked these up for £5 earlier today. With case and all lens caps. Bit grubby and will benefit from some TLC. Optics are perfect. Crystal clear to look through

Gold coated eyepiece glass. Internet tells me they are quite good

Those bring back some childhood memories, my father had the same or a very similar pair on his fishing trawler. They were a permanent jammed in the side of his chair feature.

 

[Barking Mat]

Todays acquisitions.

1990 MaxArc 200 amp DC welding thing.

Much bigger than expected, pint for scale. Love the design.

Câbles and bell housing spacer, connector, thing...

And an ex airport trailer, for moving car shells around.

Which seems to attached to a 2 X1 m welding table.

 

[James1979]

Guess what I got.
Go on, it is something I don't need, I have had many.

Fire extinguishers

 

[Jan-DIY]

Today is a good day.
Discovered about 3kg of i think 55grade silver solder for about nothing. Sure it is silver because of color and melting point.

happy Tuesday....

Another addition to the stable...

 

[The_Yellow_Ardvark]

I got a a few black bags today.
I guess what was in 2, as the broke when loading into my car.



Theses are the bags.

The following are the contents.



Two Tilley lamps, both need new mantles and new pump washers. Anything more and we will have to see.



Oh my a stove, complete and a Roses tin.



What's in it?
What you see is what I know.



Oil can, full and a blow lamp.
The blow lamp is interesting, green handle Burnos and a twin hole main jet.




Few old tins, all full but ay the time of the picture taking I have no idea their contents. Plus a door knocker.

Hmmm.
Drilling holes, by chance.

For working where no mains power is available and you require more sustained drilling capability than can be provided by battery tools. I remember my Dad having a petrol powered drill the 1960s. It had a "Tas Motor" on it, if I recall correctly.
