My m12 soldering iron arrived today. Just about to have a play.

Also got me some sodder so I can try it out. New old stock, proper old lead stuff

You should take that yank rubbish back and get some proper solder

Did not acquire today, but I installed some LED lights in my shop, here's my welding area with an additional light, previously I had only the one CFL which was just not enough.

That’s not a polite way to introduce SWMBO.

Finally got the Sprite engine out of the van and had a quick look at the head, very happy so far it has no noticable cracks, the block is stuck so left it to soak and in the same deal i got lots of spares including a gear box.

[MCKDAVID]

Oh man, you have no idea!

“How the actual fk did you do that?” Is a common question as I get out the truck…..

natural lack of ability in most cases, unfortunately......

It'll be nice if that's a Sprite/Midget box with the closer ratios and needle roller gears. OTOH, if it needs work, there doesn't seem to be any spare gears available for the early "steep helix" Spridget boxes, as I discovered when I came to rebuild one a while ago.

Today I actually un-aquired. Tonight I waved goodbye to my gasless Clarke MIG102NG as it's new owner picked it up. It did a sterling job of getting me started with welding, but with my new Gas Mig aquired last week, there was no point hanging on to it.
