Love the guillotine.

I have a few, but not as good.

Love the guillotine.

It must be the French influence.

Exactly the same as the gauges I have,
I was lucky enough to find a replacement degree/millimetre scale on eBay.
Dunlop Tracking Gauge Scale

Tidy, added to my watch list

 

[indy4x]

You're right; just checked the PDF manual for the Movano in a quiet moment at work - specifically says not to use a jump starter but to use another vehicle or a battery.

Too late, jumped mine a dozen or so times using my Noco

 

[Rannsachair]

A 1.5 lb Simmons lead hammer to compliment my bigger Thor.

And a wee selection of odds and sods that was under £20.

Does it sit in the corner and fill Thor's ears with sweet nothings?

That's one hell of a bargain ......... Lucky, jammy sod . The profile gauge , tap wrench & feelers alone would cost nearly that when new.

I'm liking that small steel tube container with the bits in. Can we see a close up photo of the contents please ?

Home made spade drills. Nice.

Not as exciting, just a collet chuck with no makers mark.

 

[The_Yellow_Ardvark]

Nice finds today.
I will admit I did pay over the odds for the main item. But again it was in a Charity shop.
Guide Dogs.

This is my haul.

A hard carved wooden mouse.
For no other reasons than I have few already.

This is the main item.

Wisco D12.
Again some work needed.
New weight for the whistle, a few joints to be re-soldered.
Correct paint for the base, it should be a gloss gray. Not primer grey. Plus remove the over spary as well

Oh the above, bar the chimmely was from a happy customer.

Is that a Robert Thompson mouse? Quite sought after I believe when still attached to his furniture

"The idea for the mouse carvings came about when Thompson had a commission to repair a church and was carving a huge cornice for a screen. ... While they were eating lunch, Thompson decided to carve a mouse onto the screen and that sowed the seed for using it as a trademark for his future wares."

Alas not.

I have a chesses board made by him. Plus a few original mice.

This was made by a local who works in the shop.
I will be dropping more hard wood in for him, next visit.
