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

[sako243]

There is a proper local wood yard near to you sawing up local timber?

Not necessarily local wood but if Pete comes by it then he will buy local.

About a mile from the house.

I didn’t acquire but my mate came home to this and sent me the above.

I thought it may amuse the collective

That’s a lamp produced by the “ Sound of silence “ people .

Treated myself to a few different T27 torx drivers for working on the chainsaws.

I was about to post "why so long" when all was revealed in subsequent pics.

Radiators, mainly new 1 or 2 used short term, then a monitor and Panasonic TV with all the old inputs which is ideal for old consoles.

Heat pump for my shop, will work at full capacity down to -15c and still work down to -25 before it's equivalent to direct electric.

Window cleaning pole. Works well, if I stand on the garden chair I can do the upstairs windows ok. It could do with another meter length.

this extremely helpful tool, which was given to me by a wonderfully helpful fellow member of the forum- Thanks

At 1.55mm wide, this is the narrowest parting blade I have, so I expect the best results.

Thank you dear friend from the island to go throu all that trouble -

have a nice sunday all

This very, very small spline key set. I actually thought they were allen keys. Obviously I don't have anything to undo with them. Should have probably put something alongside for scale, I'd say the little pack is about an inch wide. Came from the "just take it, everything free" stall at the car boot this morning.

The same stall also gave me a power consumption meter, one of those that you plug into a socket and then plug the device you want to measure into it. I stuck some new batteries in and it seems to work. This is really handy as I'm interested to know what I'm spending when using various things, and I can't find the smart meter display anywhere.

Can we see the inside, the actual tools? Please!


Thanks!

Maybe like this one?

Maybe like this one?

Thanks.

I blew it up as much as I could

and still can't see what it actually is ...

I googled for the phrase "spline key" and found things like this

It does translate to our "Vielzahn" like "multi tooth" - close to but not identical with Torx --- is that it?

Thank you

The spline keys in that wallet are known as Bristol keys. I had a set issued to me in 1970 to work on IBM "Selectric" ( golfball ) printers.

 

[25.4_mechanic]

Is this it:

A profile close to the PTO on my tractors but with dove tails?

So something completely proprietary ???

Thanks,

Carsten

[eddie49]

I don't think they are dovetailed, just six straight splines, without undercutting, like the splines on a car driveshaft or gearbox input shaft. I only know them on IBM office equipment, but apparently they were also used on cameras, and WW2 aircraft radio knobs.

 

[droopsnoot]

At first glance they looked like very small allen keys, but there is definitely a shape to them. I'll try to get a better photo later.

Day five and I've had enough...

Get yourself some dioralyte or the tesco generic. Otherwise you will dehydrate badly!
Failing that an isotonic drink and eat some bananas!

 

[arian]

Sympathies.

After 5 days, I'd be getting some Dioralyte to replace electrolytes. Tastes horrible, mind

Edit: too slow
