I'm impressed. Well done sir.
Seriously though, what's the point in all the time & effort spent earning it if you don't gain enjoyment from it. Toys, boys toys, tools, tooling etc., there's something to show for it at least. It's not like you're peeing it away up a wall.
Crack on & enjoy it.

Just bought one of these new in a local Sealey distributor. Need to wait until the heavy rain stops before I can get it out of my car and into garage
It's a big drill for my use but then again I have a small barely useable cheapie rattly crap one this years so I'll sell it on and have a proper drill that will exceed my requirements for good. Buy once cry once sort of deal.

A 6 DOF arm plus a Mecanum wheeled base for it. Also, a whole bunch of ESP32 and Arduino MCUs and sensors to go with it

Yeah erm this drill is pretty big. Got a spot for it until such times as my garage is extended and it will sit on a workbench.
(Old drill press for scale)
I got this drill as grade B meaning no box and saved some £ on online prices so it was a deal and it'll be the last drill press I'll need to buy!
Runs silky smooth looking forward to using it for some projects coming up in next few weeks. (Mercedes crank locking tools)

After deciding its probably best I don't buy any more electronic stuff for a while, I picked up this from the BBMF.
It's a piece of fabric from the Lancaster

I watched a YouTube video about these stainless steel replacement foot pegs for a Honda nc750, so I knew there would be some fetteling involved to fit them. The ones I bought were much cheaper than in the video, at just under £15.oo delivered. Arriving from Ireland, they even came with a toy pipe, which our 4 year old Great Niece will enjoy. Although a bit of work to fit the pegs to the original brackets is expected, I noticed there were some tread imperfections in both of the castings. As the uneven surfaces would damage my boots over time, today's project was to set the pegs up in the mill and levelled the teeth across the pads. After a little deburring, the result is satisfactory. I used the tooth circled in red as a reference for overall height. Tomorrow, if my Wife doesn't have any plans for me, I'll see about fitting them to the bike.

Some paint.
Off marketplace, but from just around the corner and free. Almost completely unused but needed hefty mixing. Twenty minutes in the workshop and...

i hate to break it to you, but i'm quite good at judging measurements by sight, and i think that mixer is a few mm too big to fit into the tin

Yes, but by 'eck it worked on the tub! I tried stirring the tub by hand with a stick. Next time an idiot annoys me I will ask them to do it. It's impossible, you could stir a 10 litre tub until Christmas and get nowhere, hence the half hour drive to the workshop any back and the ten minutes making the stirrer for the power drill. Well worth it!i hate to break it to you, but i'm quite good at judging measurements by sight, and i think that mixer is a few mm too big to fit into the tin

A safe, don't need one, have no space for one either but there is a story behind why I had to have it
Years ago, my wife ran the office for a local taxi firm, this was their safe. Some of you may remember my BIL passed a few years ago, quite young and completely unexpected
My wife has been receiving counselling to try and cope with her loss and 1 thing the she was asked to do as part of her therapy was put her brother somewhere safe.
The owner of the taxi firm is downsizing and needed the safe gone which is why I now have it

Tried to use it yesterday on a job cutting through concrete only for it to trip the breaker in the garage on the circuit sockets. Managed to get a 16a to 13a lead so I can plug it into the socket, with a C type breaker, for the compressor. Worked perfectly but by then the heavens had opened up.
