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

I'm surprised you're not equipped for all contingencies....

Yep. Needs magnet fishing kit in the van in future.

Normally I do.

But this time I had extracted enough.
The maint guy was kind enough to let me liberate much.

I will be returning.

 

[brewdexta]

First a couple of rolls of decent MIG wire and a spring loaded magnetic welding clamp thingamabob

Next, a pipe cutter that I didn't order, I think an Ebay seller has screwed up.

A nice set of centre punches and some purple card for labelling.

And last but not least, a negative test, it was still positive on Monday.

 

[Barking Mat]

Not too much, thought it worth a gamble
Someone‘s had a bite from the table but what can you do.
Theres no switch and a couple of nuts and bolts missing and need to check the motor which is massive.

You jammy jammy barstool.

Good for you.

 

[Barking Mat]

Thank you for the figures and explanations.

As for RoyalMail, I thought something like this, Brenda's postal service is by decree applicable to all subjects at home - so it is with our postal service "DeutschePost/DHL".

One difference here could be that via licensing there are either only local or national providers and national is then also postivley everywhere on the mainland, but I don't know exactly.

What I noticed with sales offers are islands that are excluded or served at an increased rate.
Sometimes I have also seen that individual postcodes or areas are excluded - until now I had simply assumed that they were islands, but I will pay closer attention to this.

This is what I found about the population density of our two countries, we are number 8 in Europe, I think you are number 3.

In the blissful pre-Brexit days, the choice was always very easy: RoyalMail, fast, safe, not too expensive, reasonably adequate tracking - now the 2kg limit is annoying and two RM shipments on their way to me have been stuck for a while too long now ....

It's the ESORI numbers which pee me off.

What's your promlem with them? Here they call them EORI, I think - I have one but rarely use it.

Try posting stuff to or from the U.K.

With random custom charges on top.

Don't get me started on the joys of brexit, and the U.K. government.

excellent find and amazing deal mate

Hope you got it out without injury.

We had already established, Matt, that we are in agreement on this.

At the moment I get quite a lot of parcels from the island, but if they weren't low-value gifts - which are annoying, expensive and tedious enough - I would have gone mad long ago.

Professionally, I wouldn't do that to myself.

Don't get me started on the joys of brexit, and the U.K. government.

I had also already said as much about this fool's piece of self-mutilation by **** ********* ****** as mods would presumably only allow a newcomer to the forum, today they wouldn't let me get away with it. (*** by me)

-

@Barking Mat, I just assumed you had a specific issue with EORI numbers and I might have been able to help you, as my own application was not very long ago - that was all.

Have a beer

10" disc sander. Only a cheapo, but disc seems to run true, minimal vibration etc.



It is a smart idea to connect a vacuum to the extraction port before giving it a quick test though. If I wasn't intending a dusting session, I am now.

Went with a 10", as price ramps up notably for a 12".

Interesting, the talk of allergies, my wife (Fijian / Indian), was always fine while in Fiji, moved to New Zealand in 2006 and was fine for about 3 years then as since developed an intolerance to dairy and gluten, also as hay fever. She knows of several other people from Fiji, India and Thailand who have all had same problems and we're sure it's because of all the chemicals used over here. She also as to make sure chicken is free range, again to avoid all the crap that they pump into them, mind you I get free range on principle anyway.

My eldest son needs to have anti histamines and inhalers "to hand" at all times, when he takes a trip "Back home" as we refer to it which is Central America, within three days he can discard the lot.

Taking business from DPD, who specialise in pucking up parcels.

City link used to and I once did quite a distribution exercise on another forum, then City Link went bust right in the middle of it and loads of parcels went astray, I was pilloried for it. Apparently I needed to "sort it out"?

 

[droopsnoot]

Apparently I needed to "sort it out"?

Oh, is this a little bit like the "News" item on the radio yesterday where people were moaning because they can't get a refund from an online supplier who has gone bust? I'm not sure where they think their refund money is going to come from. I also can't imagine why they're not on to their credit card company to claim for non-delivered goods. I'm sympathetic when people lose money because a supplier goes under, but there's often a lot of wailing about not getting refunds - if the company had the money to send refunds, they wouldn't have gone bust in the first place.

a set of transfer punshes, imperial

... and a well-packaged something from Scottish lands ...

... what this one?


A four-armed fixed steady for the little Myford, which I didn't even know existed until recently ....

Actually, I had only been looking for a fixed bezel for the 7-series, but then a friendly forist offered me this piece and was also kind enough to send it to the continent.

Thank you very much again!


And with it came this cute little vice, which on closer inspection is not so small at all - also for ML/S7:

Happy days .... I need a bigger house ...

Have a nice day all,

Carsten

Scored some big Ash logs.

Had to fetch them mind.

Nice piece of wood .... quite small felling notch ... with a recess for turning to the left during the fall?

What happened to the felling hinge? Have you cleaned it already?

Are you building something with it or just burning it?
