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

[Seadog]

It took some doing lifting the head onto the column on my own.

And that's a baby one.
With my 2G, I lay the column flat, fit the head, then the table boss, and bottom collar. I then fit the base and Howick the whole lot into the vertical. Not sure how much longer I'll have the strength to do it, though.

Not really today. But reaquired from a dark corner of the workshop... what was its intended use? No real method of attaching to anything and no accurate locking of the table

It is a rotary fixture, looks identical to the taylor hobson 6". Not surprising really as Rank owned Taylor Hobson.
I think you would just clamp around the edge of the flange, or I suppose you could use it on a mag chuck.

They are a precision item, so not really designed for anything heavy. Nice bit of kit, not cheap either.

It's a tilting table for a Tayor Hobson engraver. Clean it up and put it on ebay they make good money.

 

[Anguz]

quite surprisingly good money actually

More what I made than acquired, another 32amp ABB Rubber cable which will extend my welder supply all the way into my Clarke temporary garage outside

Liberated a juicy dinse welding lead from a skip today then discovered there are some sick people in this world, why just why ?

Sadly it's common practice, if it's left in working condition and someone hangs himself with it the company dumping it could be liable...

A starting handle that fits one of my stationary engines that came with a broken one.

Taylor hobson tilting indexing table for one of their engraving machines.

Very high quality, although not suitable for anything that fine milling or drilling.

Nice to meet you Graham. Hope it does the job.

Likewise, I have press ganged the children into getting it into my office, where it is now right in the way! Tomorrow I am on a mission to find a bit of block countertop and I am going to put it where the Box/Pan folder is and put the folder on top of it, I hope, that's the plan anyway.
Have already ordered a couple of rolls of closed cell foam for the drawers and then the fun will begin. I won't be able to find stuff for weeks!

Did the same when I needed to bring my Fobco 7/Eight out of storage.
On rebuilding it, I fitted the base plate, hoisted the drill vertical and fitted the table courtesy of an engine crane.
The next time it moves, I'll have joined the wife in the next life. This move almost put me there.

Wish Id of known, there was a lump of beech counter top sat next to it

Today I aquired (or at least it arrived). a new, true colour large screen welding helmet, with a head torch. https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005004569481103.html. Can
t go wrong for the equivalent of 15 quid.
Thus far, really impressed with it, with a really easy see through "off" level. The head torch came with it as well and is pretty bright. I glued it to the helmet, but velcro probably would be better. Hopefully it will help me see what i am doing.

Trim the neck, making a vase or glass. Diggers of old bottles from the sea and Victorian landfills do just that.

Brazilian built XL200 with a very rotten exhaust. A replacement exhaust is going to cost more than the bike did.

Aftermarket front pipe ,presuming you don't have the kit or know some one with them to bend one,and fabricate the silencer .

Keeping the kids bikes buoyant has used up my patch stock,I’m sure tubes and tyres were thicker when I were a lad.
The solar regulator is said to be much more effective than my original and may save me buying a third leisure battery,we will see.
