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

You mean a Ped Slicer.
I hate those things, they were banned for a good reason.

Do not think they were banned, just the requirement to have one removed. I have been riding 40 plus years and never hit a pedestrian, rarely see pedestrians on our roads. My plate is an aluminium repro , so would crumple hitting anything..

They were not banned but not allowed on a vehicle first used after 9? (It’s 91 or 97 I don’t remember without looking).

I know this because I used to have one on my 91 DR350 because it annoyed a traffic policeman I used to work with. He was an absolute cock so any means of annoyance toward him was seized upon.

Also. If you get tw@tted by DR350 with an 18 stone me on it at even 30mph I think a poxy bit of alu sheet is going to be the least of your issues

Would you like to test that theory, Tom?

There are a few folk I would be happy to test it on..... not sure about the ride to the Kremlin though

For collection certainly, but I'm rather horrified at the cost of production - Total cost to this stage was £1040 for three 6 month old pigs. Now it's all against me in the sense that they have been completely grain fed, and doing these things in small numbers is never really viable. But there's no way I can compete with (say) Sainsburys on price. Quality is superb - I had three sausages for lunch and confess went on to finish off the other three (the sausages are packed 6 to a bag. This time I went for a commercial cross breed bred for a long & lean body. Previously I've had Gloucester Old Spots, Saddlebacks, Large Blacks and other rare breeds but they carry a lot of fat. Previously the bacon needed 1/3 fat trimming off but these one have produced loins that are much better formed with a large eye and sensibly thin fat layer, as I intended.

Thanks. I'd like some, but I can't justify the diesel So it goes.

Glad you've got the pig meat you wanted. I've had some very good Saddleback pork, but I suppose rare breeds became rare because of that excess fat - and they're slower growing.

Hope so , five months in a freeze at - 21oC r & it will still start to get the rancid pork fat taint . 30 pound of home made Lincolnshire sausages vac packed & sealed in packs of 8 is how I found that out along with 10 kg of pork shoulder in heat sealed vac packs

Now that's danting.

Certain sausage skins give a taint when frozen long term but oddly others don't. I have burgers made from the same sausage meat as the sausages and I know for a fact that they are OK for well over a year when kept @ -21 C, no skins you see.

One C06K-SCLCR06 carbide bar
I will try it out soon. 7.8mm is listed as the minimum bore. Weighs 43g which is roughly correct to be tungsten carbide.

Cant say thats a problem we have ever had and a few bits have been lurking in the freezer for a good 12 months, now boar taint thats a different matter its odd as not everyone can taste it

This forum is a bad influence!

I've already got a nice IR right-angled die grinder, but I'm without a compressor at the moment, until I get my garage space organised. I told myself that going with the Milwaukee was ok despite all my other cordless tools being Makita, as it's a different voltage, and Makita don't do one

The book looked interesting, I think it was @northwest who mentioned it a while back

 

[dan.taylor.1]

New metabo 180mm grinder. Went for one of the newer ones which is half the weight of the older style, mainly for flap disks or fibre disks flatting big bits off.

Also got a makita 18v heat gun, been doing a lot of 12v wiring of late and a corded one is a pita, it broke the other day so I've replaced it! No pic as I forgot...

 

[dan.taylor.1]

The heat gun...

Cheapest I could find in a hurry:

If anyone's seen my favourite set bought 20+ years ago at Swanley boot fair let me know. No doubt hiding in plain sight!

Just so you know I have Gerald Cardew's own home made Chronograph which was used for the book. I also own the one and only GC1 Air rifle that Gerald built as a prototype for use in his development of the SportsMatch GC2 air rifle, one that outshoots the best offerings still of the likes of Steyr and Anschutz in Field Target comps. I was very lucky to get them. I will take some pictures when the finally release me from here.

Nothing tool related unfortunately but out with the old and in with the new, I hate appliances!

What are they? What do they do?

I'm not sure, but wives like them apparently...

 

[Cobbler]

They are a good source of sheet metal from the case. Never fathomed out what they do when making a noise.

This arrived today. Bought for my brother. Aldi special £99. Far more expensive in Screwfix etc.
My brother wants it for model boats and planes. It works very well on metal though. Heavy about 20kg and a pretty fast belt speed.

Could you please show the bar-code? Thanks.

Don't be fooled by that "Germany" - it's the dealer/label not necessarily the product.
