[Blobber]

Not so much acquired as re-found! got a load of these locks no idea what to do with them yet, they dont really suit thin doors as the barrel bit sticks out the front

 

[Farside]

Chuckie, tick, credit etc. Do you do finance is what he was asking.

Ach, I thought he was asking her for double or nothing on the toss of a coin.

 

[Olderisbetter]

Doe the tester separate from the handle? I have a stand alone tester and it has been great for finding problems in the workshop. I can plug one end in at my PC and take the other out to the plasma shed for example.

 

[brightspark]

got a nice big copper soldering iron for a quid and an ocy acet lead burning torch for a fiver from autojumble

But the labels had fallen off in storage.

Best get the indelible marker pen out, then.

Is that a piaggiio ape?

Yes it is my 16 yo son's, very cool and smiles everywhere you go. Handy too.

When I picked the torch up the lass who served me at EWM was very nice and gave me a few catalogues , I said I'd love an AC/DC tig but they are a little out of my price range !
Do you do chuckie ? she never replied

Ive past there a few times recently and managed to avoid stopping as I need my kidneys and dont like chuckie.

[Maker]

Graduation present. Wanted one for ages but not enough to buy myself one. Think I'll make a veggie stir fry tomorrow to put it to the test.

 

[Moose McAlpine]

Bought a nice little power supply, good for setting up LED flashers and such for the vans, wiring trailer lights, learning more on electrics. Wanted one for a while, treated myself as started new job.

This is actually the second, as the first arrived in a sealed box with a cracked screen so Amazon can have it back.

Looking forward to playing with it a bit and getting the multimeters out. Simple pleasures and all that.

 

[dobbslc]

I found these today dumped in the bins.
That's a 24oz plumb Bob!
It's missing it's cap screw for the string so I might have a go at making one.

 

[Arc Tourist]

Went over to se my buddy looking for a scrap piece of sheet steel to attach a phase inverter onto the Fobco pillar drill motor mount. Found a piece about the right size and also came home with a length of steel plate, several short box sections, and a bunch of railing related cut offs, all in the scrap pile. When I returned to the garage, one of the neighbours was loading some stuff up to take to the recycling centre. I had a cheeky look and came away with a post hole digger, mattox head, some ground anchors, a side cutting sheers and the handle off of a broken drill motor.
