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

It’s a beast of a machine. You forget just how dire the Chinese generic bandsaws are until you use something like this. Even with a mullered blade it whipped through the 50mm bar I put in there to try. Got a bit of an oil leak to see to, but shouldn’t take long to sort.

Two biax scrapers

Not today but it arrived earlier in the week. I needed to get some stuff shifted and a stand made first. Just about to give it a clean up and oil over. It’s got wet on it’s trip but nothing harmful, just a bit of flash rust on the ungreased bits. Bit of scotchbrite will sort it.

Stand is made but needs more bracing and Chemfix to floor before it’s used in anger.

Bought a new bedside clock radio a few weeks ago and as a freebie (came from Sports Direct - they sell them for £30!) they sent me this colourful inflatable round and bouncy object; something I have no interest in, nor ability to use - one of the dogs normally gets the fun out of vandalising them.



May make a stand for it and use it as for headphone storage as it's the right size!

That 50mm bar looks like nothing in there!

A decent combination lock.

You obviously don't follow "the lock picking lawyer" on YouTube, not sure there's such a thing as a decent combination lock, managed to decode all my dads expensive kasp and yale ones after he hadn't used them for a while and had forgotten the codes with nothing but a strong magnet and touch. Locks only keep honest people out really.

22 seconds with 2 spanners and you are in.

We used to use similar on dry risers, so the Fire brigade can easy get in.

They will be shrouded which helps.

Just had a walk round the corner from where I'm delivering in the morning and picked up a few bits courtesy of the ginormous B&Q Warehouse in Wigan for a fence that I'll (hopefully...) be building at the weekend. B&Q in Bishop Auckland, the nearest to home, has had hardly any stocks of much at all of late so it was nice to have plenty of choice. They even have a "pick and mix" section for screws and bolts which would doubtless be picked clean by the thieving ne'er do well chavs in my adopted homeland...

Also acquired 2 pints of very cold shandy from the Swan and Railway pub by Wigan Railway Station, (and the last time I went in there was the night before Boris announced the lockdown in March last year), and a damned tasty home-made burger on the bbq. And I have to go past Machine Mart in Wigan tomorrow onroot to Accrington so I might hopefully acquire a couple of welding magnets for project roofrack.

 

[Tupers]

Does this help?

Very helpful thank you. I’ll go and have a weep at the price of a 5-1/2hp motor now.

Today I acquired four tins of leccy terminal cleaner.

Really, don't put that lock on anything you value.

Failing that a cordless grinder....

Plenty of magnetic clamps for the mancave, and an impulse purchase as well:



Didn't know I wanted a dinky little anvil until I saw one .

A set of 3" castors from the "What " shop in Aberdare which my Wife picked up for me. Cheap price and has solid rubber wheels. Also, a roll of armoured cable was delivered today, for power to my new garage. Goodbye extension cord.

 

[Fraserb]

Expensive day.
