Nice machines, definitely an upgrade, you'll never want to use a transformer type welder again
Not cheap though!

So finally discovered Covid in my collection 3 weeks ago.
And also became my “famous” job as project manager which I was talked I have to be (3 months ago).
Results into short breath and panic attacks.
Yes. It was not the best deal to get into it.
Take some time to recover and get the rid out of these job.

So nothing new on hardware except some silver and 2 torches.

Sucks.

A friend asked me for some help, which I gladly gave.
While working together, we chat, exchange news and joke about old times.

That alone was reward enough ...

At the end, the question whether I could do something with this:

Brand new core drills in M3, M4, M5, M6, M8, M10, M12 - each in the family pack.

Some taps and reamers.

Some 3.5mm end mills - unused, tremendously sharp ... I don't know, but the red on the label looks like blood ...

A roughing cutter 18mm that has already been run a bit and an apparently brand new slot drill cutter with TICN+ coating.

And two no doubt brand new finishing cutters that look like quite good provenance.


If I can do anything with them? If I can do anything with them?



I went there to help and was looking forward to a nice chat and perhaps a beer.
Heavily packed and slightly ashamed, I left again.


Have a good evening all

PM = Powder Metal

Usually very good cutters

 

[roblane65]

Yesterday I acquired some


some hole punches all apart from the 18mm seem pretty sharp on the edges but the cap head bolt is pretty stiff in the 18 so it'll have to go in the vice.
no idea what thickness they'll punch but I thought not a bad punt at a tenner .

 

[Gragson]

Got these today after reading some posts on here - this site is a nightmare , reasonably impressed with the setup.
Night viewing is pretty distance limited in total darkness but good for 5m to 10m, and daytime or assisted lighting gives excellent viewing for what they are.

I've turned off MD alerts on one as nearly fell over to the smell of pot at far end of the garden.....Not as if I even get an invite!

[sardine]

Picked this up for a few shillings today it's a good starter and runs sweet. Anyone now much about them? View attachment 341184

Jonsered are Husqvarna so it should be good quality.

Anyone now much about them?

Jonsered are Husqvarna so it should be good quality.

The original name was Jonsereds. In 1978 Jonsereds was taken over by Electrolux, one year after Husqvarna.
Around 1983/84 Jonsered became the brand name, without the s at the end.
Electrolux spun off its chainsaw activities from the core group in 2006 and these operate under Husqvarna.
Jonsered and other brands continue to operate under Husqvarna.

For a few years now, Jonsered has officially no longer been sold in Germany, but in some neighbouring countries.

Some nostalgics (in the German chainsaw forum) swear by the quality of these saws, putting them above all other manufacturers - which is probably a bit of a fan's view, every manufacturer has stars and stinkers ...

... but certainly good saws. Can you recognise a model number?

Yesterday I acquired from https://www.mig-welding.co.uk/forum...argyll-car-workshop-tour.120735/#post-2046471

Still turns smoothly, so will strip derust, clean and paint:

The calipers will clean up, they were just to remind me of Bob the previous owner.
Also some aluminium, brass and bronze bar:

A genuine Triumph Trident Racing Cam profile for a Churchill grinder:

And a pile of brochures for the Argyll GT car:

That looks like a Tom Senior rotary indexing table in your first photo.

Yup, lovely bit of kit.

There looks to be a useful slug of something bolted to the top of the table as well.

Broken drawer

More bits for the truck, air drier and multi circuit valve.

Bargain. I go through 1.2mm mild steel without any trouble on my 11/16" one, I can't remember what the packet says they're rated to. Much easier than using a step drill as my electric drill was always smoking by the time I'd done three holes with it.
