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

[Pete.]

They should work out ok. The piston and cylinder inside should not be rusty, only the exposed part of the ram.. Just pump them out and clean up the surface rust.

Is your Lunchbox that heavy?

Extremely, I am a not a fat barsteward for nothing

 

[GraemeVW]

Can you give us all several pictures of your set up and the current prices you have paid please. I want to keep up dated with such things for the heating for when i get the 16 x 32 foot GRP &resin equipment enclosure ) shed constructed

Just got a new exhaust and fired it up.
Shonky looking install, and will be tidied, but it's putting out good heat.

 

[My Old Landy]

Have they still got any hands left .. ? What a lovely rock solid steal

Yes, he had not wired it up in over 15 years.

Hmmmm, because they lost them due to the speed of the transaction or because unguarded planers are vicious bas***ds?

It does have a guard, it is the brass domed bit in the centre

 

[Maker]

A couple of pairs of surgical scissors

If you don't know, the gold handle usually indicates the cutting edge is carbide, you can just make it out on the smaller ones, the edge of the blade is a slight different colour. They need cleaning, sterilising and cleaning again before I'll use them.

I had another pair a few years ago pair but they went missing (Aka someone borrowed them ).

 

[Arc Tourist]

Thanks, learn something knew every day, didn't know about gold handles.

Do thoughts of what they may have been used to cut/snip, in their past job, ever surface when using them?

What you really mean is, it's cost you a fortune to hone your body into the fine specimen it is today?

Nothing worse than I'll be cutting.

A few years ago at uni someone came round and saw them on my knife block, recognised they were surgical ones and asked why on earth I'd have them. I told her I was an amateur vet, "I do surgery on cats and dogs", the look on her face was priceless.

But no it never crosses my mind. I found some stainless trays I thought would be perfect for cleaning/degreasing once, then I noticed "Hysteroscopy" on the back, didn't really want them after that.

I do love a quick witted joke like that. My father in law told us one he had recently. He was out walking the dog before work at about 4:30 am on beachy head (he works shifts). Comes across a guy sitting on a bench looking a bit shifty, the dog is very friendly and goes and sits at his feet and starts pawing for attention. This guy says "Alright GEEEEZ" to the father in law "what's this on the dog then" (dog wears collar with lights on). Father in law replies "oh that's standard issue mate, she's a sniffer dog, she thinks you've got something" The guy on the bench then proceeds to sprint off into the darkness chased by the dog who thinks this is a great game

 

[My Old Landy]

A book.

To go with something I may be getting on Monday

 

[Ubique]

Clutch kit, concentric release bearing & DMF.... all that's lacking is the big bucket of enthusiasm for fitting it.

 

[slim_boy_fat]

My neighbour is moving and asked if I would like this delightful 6" Wadkin planer

You've only just moved in - have you frightened them off with your antics somehow? [Joking, before the jump in.....]

I did wonder! He is a really nice chap, it is a shame he is moving as we get on so well (or so I thought )

 

[The_Yellow_Ardvark]

A new washing machine, with a 10% discount.
Yay.

Not exactly today but last week. Keep forgetting to take photos when it’s light so these are the sellers pics.

Further to my thread looking for a workshop body for a pickup, I came across this.
