You’re welcome to the axe and hammer heads, I’m in the UK next week. Apparently it’s a cobbler’s hammer.

What are the other two clamps for though?

I am also in the UK.
I need to see the jaw ends to be able to give an answer

I’m not paying their prices! Anyway, I can live without it - it only came up as my daughter in law asked me to bring some over for her when we come to the UK this weekend

@Mick Annick I'd say stock up in the U.K.

French customs don't give two hoots.

If they do, blame me.

Depends what you travel in - a car no they don't care - a van they will be all over you like a rash!

I can live without it (unlike Marmite), it’s my daughter in law in the UK that asked me to take her some over this weekend

I had an interesting chat with the Serco border guards at the tunnel when we first moved here - got directed to lane 2 at the border checks - just us - they wanted to see the V5 and insurance for my Kawasaki on the trailer. They then asked if I had any weapons, stupidly I said please define a weapon, cue two more guards appearing from their office. Open the boot please - what have you got in there? We’ll, says I, two axes, three billhooks and a long handled slasher! I tried to explain that I do hedgelaying so they said OK, prove it! Luckily I had the newsletter from the hedgelaying society in the car which convinced them I was OK.

Borrowing a baby & fill it's nappy with French mustard will give the same result at customs .

Funnily enough that's the effect that French mustard has on me!

Our wee Tesco (Cupar) doesn't seem to enjoy the greatest selection of food at times, must admit I did forget to try there last I was there!

They must have found a decent stock of it; I looked on Amazon a few weeks ago and I didn't see it as a 'subscribe and save' item!

Sorted for a good while now!

A decent speaker for the radio kit in the car, excellent sound quality and slim but pricy compared to Chinesium ones.

You're always going to have to pay for a quality, branded make.

Blue Chips · Aug 19, 2022

I finally obtained a replacement part that I've been seeking for some time. I was almost to the point of machining a new one, but too many other projects were higher on the to-do list. I think it's probably an NOS part, as there are no signs of wear. I gave it a quick bead blasting and a lick of self-etching primer. Some of you might recognize what it's for (its normal paint color is sort of yellow-orange). I'll post a few photos when I make the repair.

It's kind of a boring-looking part, so I added a prop or two. I thought it made a nice still-life image. I call it "Wooden Guy Walking on Metal Thing." :artist:
