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

@Rannsachair. Loved the piece about Panniers. When I first started going to bike rallies 30yrs ago, Id take a tarp, and beer that was it. Now my bike looks like that kids game Buck-a-Roo

Iam constantly looking for lighter weight gear that takes up less space. Bought a Led Lenser camp light last week to replace a Gas mantle lamp, that takes up too much space.
Gives a lovely warm glow, unlike most LEDs

Army rucksacks and dexion for trip to MGP in 64 made the back end wiggle a bit .

Even smaller, one of these "Lumo" 360* degree micro lanterns are great for hanging in a tent or even on a jacket zipper for hands free use around camp.

30 metres of welded chain for the bargain price of £8.50! From a very reputable supplier.
Some roller refills,I’m gonna adapt the handle to accept two,to speed up painting rods and spindles.

A nice little bullnose rabbet plane from @The_Yellow_Ardvark

stanley No 75 I think , re ground the Iron and dressed the sole a bit


I need to dress the little piece of sole in front of the throat a bit more as it's supposed to be fractionally higher than the main sole

super sharp it'll not get painted up I like an old plane to show it's age .

Thanks for that - I see this on the R Tech Website:

View attachment 397541

I have all of the details requested there. The PO did not recall if she registered the warranty or not and she bought it about 2 years ago. A shame as it was totally unused and new condition without even a plug fitted on 30th April when I bought it.

I will ring R tech and see what they say. Would be great if there was even a year warranty left. Or if given the circumstances they might give me 3 years - ill ask anyway.

Update on this

I sent all details to R Tech. I knew when buying the welder that it was purchased approx 2 years prior.

I got her to send me proof of purchase which she did and I sent all on to R Tech.

They came back and confirmed a year left of warranty and transferred to me.

I can always purchase a 2 year extended warranty if I wish. (I did ask if given the circumstances it could have a 3 year warranty left but perhaps understandably they said 1 year is left)

Cut on the pull stroke and slow down, they have their uses and when they do, not much else will get the job done. I like mine for cutting into tigh corners in bodywork.

 

[The_Yellow_Ardvark]

A friend stoped by yesterday, he brought cookies and "things".

Battery driven Tyre inflater.

Leytool 2 speed drill.
Broken through.

Damp meter.

The spring Balance has a WD stamp and a date of 1915.

The research I quickly did shows it is a powder charge scale.



A working pair of 120 cameras.

Entrenching tool.
No details on it.

@The_Yellow_Ardvark , where do you put it all? Is your gaff enormous?

Simple.

More to the point how the hell does he find anything? Must have a fantastic "filing" system.

Won't be here until tomorrow, but I've ordered one of these, to have a play with.

About time I tried to improve my welding skills, (or even achieve any ), & for the price, even if it's a bag of crap, it's no massive loss. Easier to take outside than an oil-filled too.

It'll probably still be sat unused in its box in a years time, knowing me.

Did you order a grinder as well?

Norbert has gone missing.

It is coincidence that I also acquired these.

An alleged quote from Edison to a slow keyer: Have you tried using your other foot?

That has it's own Q-codes, QLF or "please send with left foot now" and QLF? "Are you sending with your left foot?"

Dave H. (the other one)

Already got those.

 

[Memmeddu]

6 packages of those came home the other day

Then I've bought those this morning at my local Lidl
The ones with the handle are 200-300-450-600mm long
The regular pry bars are 600 and 900mm long
Always good to have them hanging around.
Just in case you need to move something,to have little bit of persuasion to force situation to a split or if you have to do some Bulgarian actions...
Now seriously the shorter ones are very useful if you work on car mechanics like suspensions etc
