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

[DAPPH]

They were designed for pulling nails from wooden packing cases. I have a set that is probably 50 years old and works a treat, but I wouldn’t use it on a Chippendale chair !

Talking of which I was given a balloon backed chair to restore as part of my fine furniture making and restoration training , it had been fished out from a skip.
The rh front leg had been nailed to the seat squab with a four inch rusty straightened nail , the spells were broken or missing plus several other nasty chunks of damage as well as well as a rusted in number 8 slotted screw through the LHR leg in to the back of the spell hole.
After a morning of intense activity I eventually got the nail out by the drops of water & a 32 ounce soldering iron method , using a pair of pincers gripped in two V shaped bits of oak held in the wood work bench vice .

Iam repairing a shed it's constructed from 7" shiplap which according to every timber merchant in East anglia is unobtainable. So iam taking two boards from around the bottom using them for the repairs and putting new 5" stuff back on.

The cordless impact driver is great. I’m looking for another as a spare. 20V drill too. That’s also great!

I went to Wentwood yesterday and came back with a load more sweet chestnut:

Garage for scale

The two big pieces are 3 metres long and about 550 mm wide in the middle. The narrower but long piece is 50 mm thick; the others about 30 mm thick.

Had some help loading it onto the roof of the car:

Hopefully I won't need to access the drawers in the near future...

I could do with a couple cheap bits for caring around with me...and lending out to people with the expectation of not getting them back!....although I've learned to never lend out the battery charger .

How loud is the angle grinder....is it "I can't have a conversation" loud....or "my ears bleed" loud?
