Got these for the cost of postage, just wondering how to clean the wood without losing the character.

I’ve got a very old bottle of furniture restorer from tool station. It works a treat to clean stuff like this without damaging the Polish. Meths, turps, white spirt etc will strip the surface to the wood.
if I’d does go wrong, j]keep the dirty cloth and use that to apply t]any new finish, I usually use wax, it will add back some of the patina. What ever you do do t use wire wool or sand paper
No name on it. I found it on marketplace for £50 looks unused. I put it on an old trailer wheel nut with a 6ft pipe over the handle and it didn't bend or break.

Yeah I'm well chuffed!
These are a much better pump that the Salamander ones and much quieter too. The one I already have in the bathroom cost me -£12 as I bought 2 at a boot sale and sold one on for double money

Is that one of those ruggedized jobbies?

Panasonic Toughbook. The CF-19 one. It’s the model I wanted as it’s police issue in most of the UK and having seen what they get up to with them that’s a good test
you can fold it round like a tablet:

A Starrett depth mic
Missing the 25-50mm bar but other than that it appears to be in very good nick, don't think it's ever been used. Having said that, the thimble doesn't feel as nice as a Mitutoyo mic. How are you supposed to check it's reading accurately without a standard? I'd check it against my height master if I had a surface plate.

Zero it against the flat of a parallel or against a new high speed steel lathe bit, both of which should have ground surfaces. The rods have dead stops on them, so setting the 0">1" rod should give you an accurate reading across the board, unless there is damaged to rods in the set.

Only need to calibrate it on zero-25 setting. The other lengths are basically standards in themselves
Sweet !!! Has it got any software installed?Tis

That will be in the van, until the Boss has forgotten about it.
By then The TARDIS will be in the play pen.

But getting home I was impressed with Fed Ex and the Post office.
Ordered Sunday night/ Monday morning.
Seals, drive bands for the Mamod car and a new canopy.
You can it is one of the 2 good Posty people. The card was written in pen and was readable. The parcel was left in a secure place. A Neighbour.
A bit of citric acid, 16kg worth. Fed Ex card told me it was left in a secure place, telling me that the place was secured with a tamper tag. It was.
In a bag on my door step.
Last 2 packs in ScrewFix.
They will be going else were.
In a second hand shop.
