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

[winchman]

It might be worth doing a little research on the machine. I went looking to try to find info. on the side table and there is nothing whatsoever on the 'net concerning woodworking machines made by Edwards. Absolutely everything you find made by them is for metalworking, so you have to wonder why they would add a machine for a different industry to their product line. It is possible that Edwards were the distributor or marketing agent for the machine and that it was manufactured by someone else.

We also couldn't find anything even s friend who works in a timber processing plant he had never heard of them

An heart attack or near

Any one seen this

M4 closed for x hours midday

Lorry tyre burst across 3 lanes plowed through the central reservation iike it was paper whipping a near lorry on our side coming straight for us trailing the barrier in front of it

We managed to stop and still see the lorry coming to us on our side the carriageway it did stop 20 yards before hitting our car



Yes I was in the front as close to the lorry as I am now from my seat in my House to the back door

 

[awemawson]

Yikes, glad you are OK

 

[angellonewolf]

A local, totally original 1979 Honda CB100N.
One owner since 1981, under 10K miles, full service history, manual and invoice: for 'not stupid' money (that sports mopeds and C50/70/90s seem to make).

In 1981 it was priced £400 at a Honda dealer. The shocker is that he bought it on HP over 36 months, which cost him £730!

So I bought another one, stored for 40 years. Then I confessed to my friend.

He told me that his missus had heard from mine recently that "this phase won't just end with one..."
They know what you're going to do.

It's just a bloke thing, isn't it. Getting something is never enough. We either end up getting multiples, else modifying something to the hilt.

only thing we are all thankfull for it was mid day on a week day if this would have been at early moring or 5 pm the story would have been massive people in hospital

we are all thankfull there way only just the driver hurt and even he got up and walked to the side of the road can we all cross our fingers and legs that he is ok ive kept an eye on the news to see but nothing as of yet

he was 62 years of age and was not hes fault a blow out tyre what could he do ?

as said good luck to him and just think our selfs lucky at the sec the tyre failed the lorry came across 3 lanes with out hitting any one hit the central barrier taking it with him flicking it across the carrageway on the other side the road and only hit 1 other lorry in the back side
must have been the only 100 yards on both sides not covered in traffic in miles of moterway

Blooming heck, bet you had to change your underwear, well I would have. Glad that all seem ok .
motorways are great, right until that moment it all goes pear shaped.

 

[Beeezer]

Well winchboy not me I just have to move it
Now can some one educate us and tell us what the little side table is for?
Its an FJ Edwards machine so once rewired should be a good machine

Wifie bought this up mid afternoon, M4 closed, then in both directions.

Then a similar incident in the 'heads of the valleys' or some such. (Wales).

Glad no one hurt.

i think as i watched the lorry come on our side through the barrier i said oh s**t
we had time to stop i was on the brakes hard but was aware of being hit from behind that was my first thought you only need one person not looking /paying attention

its was good to see only seconds people coming out there cars etc trying to help give a hand

not what i was expecting to be honest i thought there would be a few moaning pointing fingers moaning how am i going to get passed i got to be at x for work but nothing

the only thing i did think but not till after there was all the people out there cars milling about over the motorway but the moto way on the other side was still going as normal and there was no barrier so if there was a bump etc cars could have come over our side where people where just walking around

 

[8ob]

he was 62 years of age and was not hes fault a blow out tyre what could he do ?

Staying alert and keeping two hands on the steering wheel helps, I have had a steering axle blowout and it is controllable albeit a bit of a fight. Motorway monotony can have a bit to do with this sort of incident.

[JMS1972]

Few bits off market place. Ended up in the middle of nowhere to pick them up.

Myford sized roller box (5/8" shank) and a load of reamers up to 1". Roller box is worth two or three times what I paid for the lot

Thank " someone" you are all OK . I was going to say go and buy a lottery ticket but was beaten to it . possibly a good excuse for a stiff drink or three. I does make you/us realise just how thin a thread our lives hang on..
