I quoted.

Please ignore the large metal feet, more of them later.

Well here they are.



That's one of four. 2 sets, both matched with casting numbers and dates.
Older one is 1983 and the newest one in 1987.

They are very heavy, over 20kg each.
Until this morning it was not sure if I could have them, but I got an E mail saying "Take them today. Or loose them today".

Odd as they already knew they ere in my dirty mits.

They are safe, hiding away from nosey people.
Got to build a tank to de-rust them, source some suitable green oak or seasoned beech and then away I go.

With luck I can find some "Gun metal" black paint for them. If not 2 tins of black and 1 tin of silver will have to do.

Opening those in another tab it looks like a Greens Lawnmower spanner.

Walked past the local charity shop this morning, & saw this for a fiver, I know there not that dear new, but I thought it would be handy, the key taped to the top. As I expected the key pad not working, but a few minutes cleaning the battery terminals & working out how to change the combination, we now have a safe.

I just cleanned up a old safe to use as a coffee table too

When we cleared my Grandpa's house there was a note attached to his safe "Spare key inside safe".

My in laws had a safe with a key pad, & an emergency key. They put Ni-cad batteries in to power the key pad & put the key in the safe I got a call "can't open the safe" "use the key" says I " what key" was the reply. The Ni-cad's had gone flat like they do. Luckily on about the third try the batteries woke up just enough to operate it. Another week or two & I would have been drilling the lock out.

the safe in work has a little square cover on the keypad with 2 contacts behind it. you hold a 9v battery against the contacts if the battery is dead so you can get it open

I had one of those safes, battery flat, key lost, googled for help and then got it open in less time than it took to type this......just saying.

I know, nothing will stop someone who is determined, but I hope whoever breaks in is not carrying a battery drill. Where I used to work at one time, the keys to the Chubb padlocks got mislaid, I set about the rivets with a hand drill, took about 15 minutes & I'd got the lock apart & open, this was supposed to be a high security lock. Given time & tools you can get into anywhere.

Now where was that Kango & my diamond core drill
