When I was at work, I got two tesxt.
One from a My Hermes driver saying my delivery was in a safe place.
Text 2 was from a good friend. I have sent you some consumables as a thanks. I left a box of nice things for you on your doorstep.
Hidden in your hedge.
In The cardboard box's were the following items.
1250kg of assorted wire wool.
There was a small tube of wood filler as well. But it is hidden behind the lubricating wax.
In The box, covered by the bag.
The yellow meter is a Fluke.
In the black box.
Lock out kit.
End of Part one.
Please join us after the break.

Welcome back.
Part 2.
Coffin plane or a coppers plane. In a bad way.
But I will be needing garlic when working on it. The blade has already drawn blood.
Kismet Lorry Foot Pump.
Working, the cable tie was added to keep the hose on.
Now I have 3 old pumps to restore.
Old Water fire extinguisher.
I have come across this type before, but not had a chance to own one.
These.
Yes, these.
No idea what they are for.
Oh yes a small spanner.
Old and odd way to adjust the head.

Finally.
In the bag was a small box.
She sent me a new eye, thanks.
The yellow item is a Kodak Bakelite container.
If something is like that is seized, put it in your pocket for an hour and will easily come undone.
Filters.
Series V Wratten Filter A and a Series V Wratten Filter X2

Wow, that's quite a bit of wire wool!

I would have thought Iron.

Probably right. It was advertised as steel, but hey ho.
It looks like it's in 2 parts - the top with the tee slots, and the bottom part has some Vee machine ways. Not sure whether I'll separate the two or not, yet... would be nice to make a box section frame and bolt just the top to it, but I like the rigidity of the whole thing as it is...

Cast Iron is likely the best option for a welding table, spatter won't stick to it as readily.

absolutely
just means if I put too much pressure through the tee slots i'll bust em instead of bending them. The idea with this is that I can put more clamping force directly through the table slots than I can with my current 20mm steel welding table top. Good for pre-setting stuff before i weld it, and straightening stuff after I mess it up I'll fit a pair of carver tee slot clamps to start with I think, the clamping force on them starts at 1.6 ton for long reaches and 2.2 ton for standard. Current F clamps I use are 1 ton and I use every bit of that clamping force.
If i get another order of trestle legs, say, I'd save an hour per batch just by having fixed clamps and a windy gun on them.

Just use some custom long tee nuts, spread the force out a bit? Nice find either wayabsolutely

Just make sure that you don't wind the clamping bolts through the tee pieces and ground them on the bed. That's what snaps the slots as if you keep tightening, the bolt is trying to lever the slot up instead of pulling the work down, if that makes sense?absolutely

Yeah that's why I like the look of the carver tee slot clamps
They have a nice big base on them.I hadn't considered extra long tee nuts, that's a really good idea if I need some freestanding clamps without bases. Any sideways force from the clamping reach will be minimized.
I think I'm probably worrying unnecessarily, 16mm slots should be well enough to cope with anything i throw at it as long as i don't use a tee nut as a freestanding lever like you say
