Skip diving rersults.

The rope and astroi turff was not documented, as I forgot.

From a friend, instead of cash.

I paid for this.

Swoped for some astro turf off cuts.

The word 7 does not look like a 1

A Sherman acdc Tig

Can't wait to fire it up, just need some argon first, but wish I didn't have to pay another hobbyweld bottle deposit.

I think they transmit constantly, ...

Just been round at the bike and they transmit every 30 seconds unless they notice a sudden pressure drop, which if it falls below the set minimum pressure it sounds an alarm which is bleeding loud through the helmets intercom

My Landy is out in all weathers, decided to buy it a waterproof cover to see if it will protect what is left of the paintwork, never mind the water ingress from the front doors and the windsreen rubber ( hope to renew all this year).

So gave it a quick wash

And on with the cover

Don’t forget to take it off before you drive off :scared:

Roughly 4 years ago I've purchased my Metabo WE19-180RT Quick angle grinder.
And I've used it just for cutting every since .
180mm grinders are very uncommon over here so it's very difficult to find consumables.
Anyway Amazon came home few minutes ago :clapping:

A Bosch 7mm grinding disc in 180mm size

What was it trying to cut, granite?

I recall reading (on DW?) about someone who had fitted a cover to a classic and found after Winter was over that the cover had been constantly moving in any wind, resulting in a haze of 'spider web' scratching in the paintwork. Took a LOT of machining to bring it back....

Not suggesting yours'll do similar, but..... :dontknow:

. Perhaps a couple of applications of Collinite would keep it looking good?

My paintwork is a mess, covered in scratches from offroading and peeling lacquer, the instructions with the cover say to wash the car before fitting it and inspect underneath regularly.

It polished up ok and looks good at a distance :cool:

I think you're the first person on here with one of those. Would be nice to see a review once you are familiar with it.

It’s a beauty! I’ve always liked them, but I have no real use for one

A couple of straps each side to tie to the sliders will help keep the wind out, or a couple of cheap spring clamps

Arrived here yesterday .... but you can't get anything done these days ... :laughing:

My direction with turning tools is definitely towards indexable inserts, but from the experienced turners here and elsewhere you also learn that you should always have some HSS material to hand, here for once in Myford-compatible sizes (and a bit of MT2 stuff):

Inscription on one chisel: "ZÄHHART GEGLÜHT" something like "toughhard annealed".

A box of miscellaneous items, left-hand extractors, drills, taps, reamers, .... :

Among them two specialities

- my first own inch taps (3/8"-18G and 3/8"-24G) - at least a start: :ashamed:

- and a die holder that should not really exist: During the first apprenticeship, in my case information electronics, next door the mechanics, if one of their supervisors caught one of the apprentices casually holding the die holder with only one hand, then that could force a set of hot ears on him ... :flame:

... nevertheless, this beautiful piece exists:

Does the signet on the holder mean anything to anyone???

Thank you! :thumbup:

Have a nice evening,

Carsten
