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

Aye, but, there are plenty of other weak-willed individuals to tempt, who may not be so savvy. There's a reputation of corrupting the weak-willed with unnecessary purchases on here to uphold, you know.

I seem to have achieved my goal.

Only fair as the decorator did the same to me.

Let us know your opinion of it once it's had a good run.

Will do mate. First impressions are very promising.

Will still need some hand scraping but gonna save a lot of time and hurt on the wrists

Its hard enough sending car parts to Finland, how did you get that in?!

I bought it from the local Alko, they have a selection of single malts. Not cheap though, 88 euros. Which is why I usually buy Laphroaig or Caol Ila if I am looking for a whisky. But I turned 40 in back august so I figured something special this time.

P.S. Alko = state owned company and only one who can sell booze above 5.7% or so

Another golden find in my stash.
Big Bakelite earth knob.

It's going on the bandwagon.

A small thanks from a nice neighbour.




Then, Ryan stopped by.

Didn't they have any money?

Those are better than money - cash smacks of commercialism, bottles/cans = appreciation

I suppose,
I've heard Guinness is quite good for plant food.

It's definitely chuff all use for drinking. The Hobgoblin is a damn fine tipple though.

 

[eLuSiVeMiTe]

A score. Quick clean up and oil and good to go

40 odd bags of tile adhisive to mix in a few weeks. Save killing my sds

Not sure if this one should be here or in the things that bug you or things you've fixed threads. But today I acquired the end of the dipstick back from the bottom of the sump!
Another quality Renault product.

I have cursed the French several times working on my van

A full minus 1 rod pack of Lincoln gricast 31 3.25 nickel welding rods, new they're £420 from rapid, for £40 from marketplace...

 

[daleyd]

I’ve acquired a qualters and smith power hacksaw for £100. Went to see it today and picking up next weekend. All working, needs a bit of a tidy up but otherwise it’s in good nick. He also had a Clarke bench top guillotine which I can find a home for - productive day all round!

5 pairs of gauntlet from a tool stall at Wolsingham Show. Don't need them for welding but at the price they're perfect for work, should have been £2 a pair but after I heard him say to another customer that he was short of change I told him I had £6 in change or a £20 note.

Yorkshireman strikes again .
