^^ A pass is a pass and always a relief.

( Fails the same afternoon at the Transport Police check ).

 

[Olderisbetter]

That's called a chisel in Birmingham.

We prefer the term brummy screwdriver

 

[Kram]

Zoro bits. Interested to try the hard facing rods later today.
Also ordered some carbon arc rods, thinking Id try gouging and brazing.

A kit for cold bluing, again for a small restoration.

Advertising and presentation is already recognizably aimed at hunters - a tribe with which I have not so much to do - but the Birchwood Casey 'Super blue' used by "my mechanics" was at a first search apparently only from the UK to obtain (although in the videos with German label) ...

... here now as a complete set in high quality packaging from the German brand manufacturer significantly cheaper than just the bluing from UK.

What I had not expected at all: Under the foam insert a whole bound booklet in attractive presentation
"Weapons Care Brevier, tips and interesting facts about gun care".

My initial astonishment then quickly turned into sheer disbelief when I found a chapter on the care of silencers ....

... "Cleaning of silencers: Silencers have long been established in the government sector, and they are also being used more and more in hunting circles.
As with the weapon, the same applies to its silencer: To maintain the function and prevent damage, regular cleaning is required.
....."


So I correct my opening statement above:

Advertising and presentation is already recognizably aimed at hunters ... and contract killers.



In this sense, have all a wonderful start into the week

A Grumpy friend, who when I told him I could not get to the pasty shop or a shop I wanted to go to.
Told me to buy some rusty ****ies.
I almos did.
More to follow when I am home.
This pasty is good mate.

 

[The_Yellow_Ardvark]

Well I am home, I have food.

I have sorted the stuff I aquired.
From @500e
Some nice Camera gear.
I am currently waiting on a reply from another MIS who do a lot of photos to see if we can come to a arrangement.

Then, in no order.
Than as I pulled them out of the bag and box.

Itr works, it has a almost new grinder disc. It has a damaged cable.

A Cobblers hammer and a veneer hammer.

Both in need of some TLC.

This is seized. But no worm and no spares bits in the handle.

Some rusty bits for a primus stove.

 

[The_Yellow_Ardvark]

A bit more stuff.



A thing of brass.
A pump of some sorts. But it also doubles as a rattle. The insides are loose and the end caps are seized.

Some old tinsa with contents.

The contents.

More of the shovel later. A plessent find in the sewing kit.

Small tools for small hands.

 

[The_Yellow_Ardvark]

Finaly.

That shovel again.
Plus a hard to find a Mamod Single wick burner. Plus a Rare SEL twin wick in Brass burner.

Some SEL accessories. They are hard to find, as they are made from plastic and they were know to bteaking..

I also found this.

A SEL engine (about 1956ish)

 

[cr500dom]

Today I had to remove this laser table
So I acquired it for a mate who’s been after my Windley Brothers surface plate/fab table ever since I got it.
8’ x 5’ with 1/4unc holes on 1” centres
Awesome bit of kit

[25.4_mechanic]

arrived today:

I don't claim to have the skills to successfully complete this project, nor do I know if I even want to start it ....

... but if such plans are offered to me cheaply, then I have to at least take a look ....

Will have a look through ...

Good night

I wouldn't have another Breville kettle. Last one was four times the price of a cheapy and lasted about 18months, so wasn't any VFM at all. The fancy LEDs packed in, one by one, then it started leaking, then it wouldn't switch off on boil. Piece of crap.
