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

[qwakers]

one of the things i picked up at auction a few weeks ago....

a nearly full (well a bit over half i think, maybe more) 15kg roll of mig wire, no description other than that.

total cost £6.

i glanced at the label today... 0.6mm 316 stainless.. noice.

Work was swapping out their cameras, there was a huge pile by the bin. Nobody had the brains to ask whether they could be rehomed. So I did and they can, I'm not greedy, I shared them out, everybody got at least a couple. Axis are a good make, they are only 1mp, not full PTZ but have zoom and variable iris.

The Mirka Deros sander died another day, I thought I was being optimistic, I'll get it repaired but need another sander in the mean time, so got a Festool for a bit of variety.

Cheers
Andy

There was a box of Axis cameras like the one in bottom right of your photo on the local car boot sale last year or the year before, and I asked how much and she said "a fiver". Of course, I asked "for the box?" but she meant each, so I left them. The down side of car boot electrical stuff is that it might just be junk, so for me it needs to be very cheap. They'd probably come from somewhere upgrading and would probably have been fine, and I'd have risked a fiver for the box, but not each.

@nickk I don't think Lucy will be pleased to see her phone number available to the world and his wife?

 

[Richiew]

I called her, she's fine with it.

I called her, she's fine with it.

She sounded very nice.

I responded with my correct family friendly words.

But she does live at No.30.

Following on from my recent trim router purchase, I wanted to expand its capabilities.
Unfortunately Hikoki don't do much in the way of attachments for it.

But ebay had a voucher and I thought it was worth a punt - so voila - The "Hikita" is born.
Fits surprisingly well, almost full plunge depth - just needs a bit of fettling with a file on the casting to clear the spindle lock.

Didn't I mention she was a cow?

I was complaining about the cost of getting a gas welding setup going earlier. It did spur me to get a little further a long the road, I decided to get two regulators, one oxy and one acetylene. Got these ones by Kayser, supposed to be made in Germany, and they look like old fashioned regulators, little to no plastic-

You must be supporting most of the German economy the amount of euros you are spending!

I would not comment.

But I am sure thr forum google cut and paste expert will be along to tell us.

But I have a date, after my last phone call.

I'm resisting....

People wonder why we say lathes are a rabbit hole.

The German economy has to do this without me, I buy too much second-hand and then usually so outrageously inexpensively.

People wonder why we say lathes are a rabbit hole.

Oh yes, you are absolutely entitled to say that.
