Was watching a guy block paving neighbours drive, all the prep had been done so he was cutting, positioning and sweeping in blocks.
Had a mobile in the crock of his neck constantly jabbering away in Polish or something and chain smoking!
The pace and accuracy he set with one of those guillotines was mesmerising !

Once upon a time I was quick at laying and cutting. Don't do much of it these days

My favourite part of a crab, one our cats goes wild for them, tries to climb your leg when cracking them.

They do say that confession is good for the soul.
Quit while you're ahead before it gets out of hand.

Its an old manually operated Alfred Herbert. Takes up just slightly more room than a pedestal drill press.

Congrats!
That's about what I'm looking for since quite a while.
You can buy dozens of surface grinders here for comparatively small money - huge machines with great features that were once very expensive
- just not the small ones in good condition
Well, I'll keep on looking ....

You stole that, figuratively.This needed to come home with me from the recycle yard.
£2
Do these Carver clamps have a special use or just general use?

I hope you don't drop it as many times as he fell off.

I must have missed the "Just Say No!" campaign...all legit and told to take:
2 crates of this evil crap:
A duff, I guess, hand dryer. I want the stainless for my gate:
x2 24vac trannies, 24vac relays and bases, grommets, glands, fixings, those colour wires you never have to extend others and a 10k temp probe I think:
Some stainless door closer bits that will yield some nice flat bar:
A few bits of steel, 25mm box, light angle and channel, couple of scaffold tube off cuts:
Assorted lengths of BZP studding etc:
Plus I reckon 40kg of mixed plumbing scrap to sort and weigh in.
Apparently, otherwise they have to pay someone to take it...

In a fit of megalomania, I bought one of these from Hazet, James ...
... Tool dealers only ever stock these sizes from one quality brand - if you need that size you pay the extra - the prices are no longer those of 1952 as in the catalogue ...
