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

[JMS1972]

After to buses in Bath and Bristol, then a trip to Cheltenham.
A f*****g Dick H*** had to demand that I attended his site, he had failed his Fire safety inspection.
So after getting to Turo, turns out all the work needed he had declined to have the work done. So I wrote it all up again.
So after he let me out into their rear yard, where I had parked, I spied a skip.

So I looked.
I was soon hooking stuff out.

There was 2 pillar drills but unless I emptied the whole skip one had to stay.

Tidy Battery charger.

NICE.



The tin was empty when I pulled it out, but I soon found the contents.

Soon to be tested, .

One of the rescued pillar drill, the other one was a cream colourer dome headed beastie.

The possible name is lost in some hard crud.


One Silver plated pepper pot, the salt one could not be found.
The plate mark dates it to 1908.

View attachment 313203
Three Siler plated items, Bristol blue glass inserts. The Plate mark indicates a possible Bristol design to 1895.
Research is on going.


But.

This item is small, but I like much.

1960's Mamod Oil bottle. The name is visible to the eye, but not clear to the camera.

I am impressed.

Love my little Ixo driver. I've paired it with a set of Wera long driver bits great for dismembering electronic gadgets

That will take some time shifting with a wheel barrow, even longer with a two wheeled model

Trend Air Stealth P3R Half Mask Respirator Med/Large (toolstation.com)

Does P3R protect against welding fumes or do you need a different filter?

 

[Nick DV]

Will be fine in a DIY/hobby workshop IMHO

I had one of the originals back in the day. When I was doing lorry loader cranes and skip loaders

Yeah P3 is right for welding fume

Welding fume: protect your workers - Control the risk - HSE

Welding controls for employers to consider for all welding work, to protect workers from welding fumes

I had a similar issue to @Robben77 who recently posted about acquiring new chuck jaws. My chuck had jaws but the repeatability was terrible and runout as bad as 0.5mm. Took it apart to ensure it was clean but came to the conclusion it had the wrong jaws fitted. It only ever had the inners so essentially would have meant buying two sets.

One order to RDG and a new chuck at £256 delivered was a no brainer.

Just been handed these, they were left for me at the boatyards office by someone, no idea who

No, just straight through.

Just standard VNMG16's

No, just straight through.

Ah shame, I have some funky Kennametal inserts

What is the code or do you have a pic?

Got a strange hole

 

[Hood]

Never seen anything like them before.

Eight cheap crap bike lights for a tenner.


I love these things because they're almost disposable, it doesn't matter when they get lost, broken or drowned. I still have a decent light on the front so I can see where I'm going when it's proper dark but I can stick these on fork legs, hubs, my helmet, etc, and just forget about them. Plus I can keep a backup in my pocket when one inevitably dies.

And a bloody artic lorry stuck temporarily in the garden. Duhhh.View attachment 313189View attachment 313190

Wot on erf is that?

Not the truck but the yellow thingy. Looks like a Sambron type jack lift skid unit but with some form of hiab on the side instead.

What attachments go on the front?

Tomorrow @8ob , it was a long day, just got in from the pub, I’ll go looking tomorrow afo

@8ob , here is the link to the flowbench website. If you want the plans you have to pay for them - seems wrong, but imho they are worth it.
