Eventually got my aluminium bronze castings back from the foundry. They are hinges for my metal folder. Just need to find time to finish the holes and the spherical seat

While you could make some, I found the chinese carbide ones pretty good, not that I have any proper machine to use them in, I used free hand and in the lathe for marking bars.

Thanks, but unfortunately the machine uses 10-11mm length cutters. They’ve put the fitting point at the top of the cutter holder.

The box was delivered by Fed Ex and left with a neighbour.
This is the box after 5 layers of duct tape, plastic wrap and bubble wrap.
It was a bit of a weight.
The contents shown, as the were uncovered from the packing media.
1/4" draper socket set and a set of very fine scredriver bits.
A Brass multi blade screwdriver,a draper baby ratchet , old tyre pressure guage, a police whistle, circlip pliers and a Meccano Screwdriver.
3/8 Brest drill, a valve(?) ascrewdriver and a pair of end cut wire cutters.
Two small, but heavy planes.
Yes, I don't know why.

There is more.
A brass anvil and stand and a 30mm Steel case.
I knew this was going to be sent to me.
This is why the box was sent from Israil.
1950's Mamod Line shaft.

Not what I was expecting, but I do know why some items were added.
Old Small Mamod engine, needs much tlc.
A rusty paper weight, for now.
I asked for this engine for spares, for one I was going to restore.
But it has parts I want, but it is also missing good parts.
A beer will help.
The odd items added to the package/
To bulk the weight up.
It seams it is cheeper to send a heavier parcil, up to a certain size, than it it was to send the nice items.

In this case, making up weight, plus it is in the original box.
The designed use?
No idea.

Brauer clamp for £5 
Looks like it’s had a repair done at some point Works well enough
All I’m going to do is give it a Squirt of oil and throw it in the draw.
