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

[Melvyn Best]

I have exactly the same Epco, gets in the way all the time, are they really any good? Mine leaks from the pump, I keep thinking of replacing it with a cheapy fold up.

I also have an Epco, it is a pain to store and to transport BUT when you need an engine crane nothing else really comes close

I find the longer the trailer (single or twin axle) the easier it is to reverse

Don't even bother trying to reverse one of the little Erde type trailers

I reckon the A-frame drawbar type with the turning axle which are the worst to reverse, you think you have it and then it all goes wrong in a second. Especially if you have a two of them coupled.

How to identify a Kiwi, just ask them to say eggs, they'll say iggs.

When I first had dealings with them I went to one of their flat shares over Earls Court way. I'd never seen anyone crack an egg direct onto the bread of a sandwich toaster. A skill I acquired thereafter though.

A new recipe book.


I'm honestly way too excited about it, flicking through the pages grinning ear to ear, I love a good cook book.

Yesterday a good member left me a lot of stuff to be reused, restored, repaired and to help others.

Not all of the box's and bags have been looked into.

Below is a few of the items.

Christmas has come early.

 

[My Old Landy]

What's so hard with the twin compared to a single?

I don't know, it just doesn't respond as well. However, I did manage to reverse it down a 150' drive today so a slight improvement

From a gentler time and place.

I break the yolk so the breads not burnt before the "igg" is fully cooked.

I bought this 3d printer off my brother last week for £100. Annoyingly I chucked the power cable away the say before I bought it, by mistake obviously I’ll buy a new one and have a play. I have three or four reels Of the stuff for it as well.

 

[a111r]

A third small 1980s Honda, in as many months. A C70

The previous two were found on Marketplace and Ebay for big wads of £20 notes.

This 'dog rough' one came free, from the local River: Cur-Ching!

Gonna need more than a T-Cut. I think some P40 may also be needed?

It still looks better than those customised chopper / brat / ridicule / 'double bagger' step thrus for sale...

Me being me, I'll probably strip the engine just to see the effects of 15 or 20 years under water.
A bit like all the USA idiot YouTubes - 'Will it run?' etc...

Welcome to thingiverse.com. If you thought this forum used up your time, wait until you switch on the 3D printer.

How did you locate it, magnet fishing? [I'd have thrown that straight back, I have enough 'challenges' in my life....]

Just ask him which part of Sydney he's from.

Then one more will not be noticed.

I will post a helpful Norbert.

Nice vice for the drill
Any ideas as I have never seen this type before?

Today I acquired the knowledge that reversing a twin axle trailer is an art form. Sadly I seem to have missed that class

The real fun is reversing an Ifor Williams BV85 trailer 1.5m wide with a 2.4m wide motorhome, luckily it's a U shaped drive, but a very narrow road ,so trying to line up with garage to unload is a real pain - not a lot of room due to welding bench in the middle of the garage.

As an 18 year old apprentice I had to drive a short wheelbase Landrover with a 6 wheel 2 car trailer, reversing that into our yard on Lemon Quay in the middle of Truro taught you very quickly how to get it right - over 40 years ago, so no trailer test.

Don't know, but the design looks a lot like that of the Dohm, Wilson, and Colt variety of bench vices

Looks like the moving jaw comes off the pin to hold various shaped stuff
