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

[The_Yellow_Ardvark]

Trench art. What size is it?

British 18pdr.
Last filled in 1918
Percussion cap retaining ring was fitted in 1917, but the cap it self is to dented to read.

I also got some more bits in the box.

This Lucas Petrroleum Silver King.

I asked for it, for spares.

For this one.

This one I have had gathering dust for a few weeks.

Robed a few bits already.

It now lights.

The rest below was collectect from Pointy Head land.
Now this looks like a run of the mill Oil lamp.
Well most of it is. The Chemley is hand blown, the base is from about 1860. Thats as close as I can find the pattern in the manufactures archives. But the working metal parts are only 1930's.

A few more bits of german silver.

Anothr B&D Micro Chuck and a imperial "Mike"

They are going on a trip to a far away land.

This is also going as well.

Plus another Extinguisher for my collection.

A couple of angle grinder nuts. Similar design to the Jacobs one I use, so thought I'd give them a try. I'll update when I've used it. No need for a pin spanner with these.





I've used Sabrecut gear before, & always found it decent. Own brand for Top Tools/UK Planet Tools, I believe.

Look similar style to the Bosch ones I have used for years on the 9" grinders, wouldn't be without them. I did try them on the 4-1/2 and 5 inch grinders but found them just a bit too bulky for them but that is only a personal opinion.

Today I acquired, well actually it will be tomorrow as they are a birthday present from the boss.
A pair of motorbike jeans and D3O Ghost armour.

And the makers label is quite apt

 

[MattF]

Know what you mean. They are a bit chunky. Not caused me a problem as yet that I can recall though. Much prefer them to the traditional nut, or the Milwaukee style nut. The latter & I just don't seem to get on well.

Today I acquired a few more bits for my truck, last two discs (been on back order) air quick release valve, two abs reluctor rings , a bag of 2xd 8mm helicoils and a chuck to fit my unibor.

I have a couple off my 9" Bosch grinders. Don't think i've used them. They have some kind of springy impact mechanism inside?

Yes, they are brilliant, just make sure you don't put them on upside down as happened when a friend changed a disc, had to destroy it to get it off

 

[mtt.tr]

Was undecided but having worked a 19hr shift my judgement went out the window.



Didn't take long to look like this though




Really pleased does what I wanted it for

What level of numpty does one have to be to put one on upside down?

I just about did it myself one time, was balancing inside a fish hopper at the time so that was my excuse. At least I noticed before I spun it right on

 

[Wozzaaah]

….. a stereo microscope.
No idea how to use it properly yet but it’s a hell of a lot more elaborate than the one I had as a kid.

 

[dan.taylor.1]

Acquired these on Friday actually, to go with the hilti sds max drill I got for free when helping a mates mum clearing her garage out. Haven't checked sizes yet but a few to go at.

 

[brightspark]

Got home today and found a box waiting for me, quick coffee with a neighbour who had taken the box in for me.

Who gave me this as I left.

Small Pen knife of a Cigar trimmer.

But what was in the box was this.
Found in a Israel Flea market.

The handle is missing, but I am sure we can rebuild that.

I got one of those delivered today as well, but I never took a picture of it.
I did take a pic of this box though

Wanted a little gun for at home, as I get fed up listening to the compressor rattling away, so this should cover most of the stuff I do.
If I need more power, I'll tolerate the compressor.

 

[Gragson]

Plasma lighter, I love gadgets

 

[Cuthy246]

Still top quality gear and well worth it. I never begrudge the price when it's good stuff. I think the pump alone is £800+ new?

We have a 75 ton set-up, fairly takes some abuse but not a single fault yet. Trying to convince the bean counters to get us one of the battery power units

Score!

 

[sako243]

The first load of sub-base for the drive after 200ish tonnes of crusher run.

Only a projected 150 more tonnes to go...
