Fabulous looking bit of kit that vice.

 

[Parm]

Ask me if I am:
A: Nearly dead from moving a lot of Heavy metal.

B: Nearly dead from Mrs TYA for; "Bringing more junk home"

I was out this morning, just having a innocent mooch around. Dog and horse was happy to go some were new.

I bean keeping my eye on a set of old stables, now being knocked down. I asked the guys on site if I could "adopt" 2 items.

I have "adopted" the Black smiths odd leg vice.
Plus that weight.

Getting them back to Vicki's stable was easy.
Getting them home will meant I am nearly dead.



PS yes that's the same vice in "Show me your vice", different wall.

You jammy so and so !

I want one of those

please tell me you aren't using them as garden ornaments?

@bigegg

Only until I get round to restoring them.

Left hand side, is the new one. Saved from the skip and scrap man.

Middles one, was at big workshop. But had to come home as it was being abused and being moved into the neighbours yard, to may times.

The right hand side one was my late dads'. My head says to restore, but heart has issues.


But they are in a lee wall, not stick in the mud and ready for me to work on now I am getting better.

@Parm NO. They are not.

If the price is good and it's not too far away I'd be interested

Very jealous of that leg vice Mr. Vark, that's a lovely find.

Got a call Thursday to help out with A casualty of storm Doris - a big old Ash that came down across a green lane and needed shifting ASAP.

No Photo shopping needed - it really is up to the roofline of the Fourtrak:

As always the vintage Dolmar makes easy work of it. It's a shock and a real bonus that I only needed 108 stitches instead of loosing entire limbs this time around

A few hours on the splitter this morning leaves me with the first load ready for stacking:

I reckon there's another 5 trailer loads like that left but as the right of way is clear and everyone is happy I can collect the rest and whatever else needs clearing up there whenever when I like

Watch out for the log goblins, it's amazing how quickly logs and timber disappear from the roadside!

Luckily its well off the beaten track but we were warned about the closest sticky fingered neighbour who is renown for helping himself to other people's firewood and so we've only been cutting enough each time to fill the trailer. What is left is now way too big to tackle without a big saw but I did leave one round as bait and will cry with laughter if anyone tries to move it must be 160+kg as it was taking two of us to lift them when quartered...

A Vax vacuum cleaner. The plastic housings were all broken and held together with gaffer tape. The owner bought a new machine and this was destined for the skips, but I 'intercepted' it for the motor which is still good. No idea as to power but it might be 1500W?

Will have a chance to look tomorrow.

It's in the Black Country, so could have had a hard life in a chain shop....
the handle has been changed, I did wonder if the leg has been shortened.
£45

Not today but hopefully in two weeks this mess should be mine to clean up. I'm excited but i also feel sick. So much work to do with not much time and no money.

There is a little bench there with a vice i asked them to leave it (along with any other tools) we will see. Think the guys clearing the stuff for them will take any good bits.

Someone bodged a granny flat on the back hopefully i can make this a bit more presentable, not sure what it will be used for yet.
