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

[JOEPRO]

Another drill press. I'm a sucker for a bargain....

Big drill with speed controller/ inverter not sure what it is.



It's dismantled and rolling around in my car boot / backseat. Since I'm near the coast I'm getting a chippy too.

 

[roofman]

Got some nice stuff, very cheep.

the T25 will be under the bench next to the 10mm socket before the months out

Another Metro. You can never have too many Metros!

I have a set of those wheels. Looking for a shell...

 

[Tupers]

Sort of just over half a metro, and that’s assuming the motor etc is present.

It’s got all the important spinning whooshing parts and the interior was stored in the dry while the rusted so fortunately it’s still in great shape.

They the best Metro wheels in my opinion. At the moment in trying to decide if it worth buying a clean 2 door Rover Metro and relieving it of its floor pan and a few other pieces as this body definitely need some love.

 

[minimutly]

Same shell, except for the filler neck, and the Rover inner wings/subframe mounts.

Went to my local decathlon on yesterday and bought a sub weights(for sinking) belt .
I don't go underwater and I can't even swim ....
So why do I bought it? Few weeks ago I've bought a parp system which came without the belt ,so I've bought for this purpose .... 11 ish euros

Then the same friend who said me "if in yours I'd buy it" for the plasma cutter , convinced me to buy a Solognac Sika 90 hunting knife ,I was aiming to buy for months ... So I did

I've bought it mainly because of it's shape which I'm pleased with .
But I'll take it with me when I go in the woods , fishing,or when I go to fell trees .

Pulled from a skip.

looks like it may work, or could be made to work.

I remember pumping water from one of those as a kid. It's been removed now but we used to stop at it and pump lovely cool drinking (and splooshing) water from it when we were out and about.

It can't work alone unfortunately.
It's mostly a pipe with a tie rod moving inside
The pump itself stays at the bottom of the well and its submerged

They are usually just a basic piston with a leather seal that generates suction as you pump the handle - the entire pump is what you see.
Nothing goes underground apart from the pickup pipe to an underground tank or well.

They usually stop working because the washer wears - they can be replaced quite easily if you can get it apart (they like to rust up).
Or they freeze and crack the casting.

Chances are fairly good it can be repaired. Bizarre it has been skipped, I’d have thought even if it was broken somebody would want it for a garden ornament.

I'm looking for one locally and it's not easy to find them cheap, they hold a good price even if just ornamental.

 

[Moose McAlpine]

Some more bits and pieces for the mobile tool box, all cheap stuff but seems very decent and certainly good enough for what use it'll see. And a nice LED Lenser torch which is needlessly complicated but very nice.

 

[bricol]

A tap wrench:

And with a more usual large tap wrench . . .

 

[The_Yellow_Ardvark]

Snap On tow truck.

5 x First Aid kits.

One box of 20 Euro Locks.

Pole Hedge Trimmer, skip find.

Shoe cleaning kit.

 

[Memmeddu]

A three phase thermal switch
KSD308
400V 43A 95°C
I couldn't find a 85°C
But it would be an improvement on my "Small gouger" project ,the base welder born without any thermal cut off switch so it would be fine
Transformers usually work between 100 and 180°C depending upon the insulation quality

This sealey LED light at under £12 delivered is a proper bargain IMO. (Ebay) Solid metal with strong base magnet and powerful LED with focus adjustment. Best bit is how flexible it is. Only downside is it takes regular AAA batteries not rechargeable but for the £ very good I ordered another and this one will live on my bandsaw now as a sight gauge.

Get yourself 2 sets of decent AAA nimh rechargeables like Panasonic eneloops plus a good charger & run the lights on them.

 

[The_Yellow_Ardvark]

I spent £25.

I got a folding stowage box.

 

[The_Yellow_Ardvark]

I then went for a beer.

Then I unpacked it.

A lot of rubble bags.

Good, takes three to hide a Greenback.

The flux tin is full. The oil can has solvent stinky stuff, the plane doesn't.

It has contents.

Cardboard box 1.

Wooden Box.

Cardboard box 2.

Plus a Tilley Lantern.
