You need to get or make some gunpowder (black powder) and test the claims of the rum that it meets "gunpowder proof".
As I recall, a small amount of black powder in a metal container. Cover with rum and light. If it is ovenproof, the powder s
Hold still ignite.

A pair of boots. I'd heard good things about William Lennon on here, these were the style I wanted and they had them on the shelf, which was lucky as my old pair of Screwfix cheapies are literally falling to bits and I couldn't really wait for their usual 6 months.

Take the ladder away, they won't be able to get up there.

They’ll be fine, they are insulated.

The 4 E309L Esab vacpack arrived today not exactly well packaged but fortunately no damages,the packages are perfectly fine and air thigh so no damages
@Brad93 if you remember you was asking why so cheap I believe that my theory might be plausible .
I believe:
They thought that because of the size of the rods (3.2 and 4mm) they could have difficulty to sell them.
Probably ordered for someones job he didn't bought the entire box(think 5 pieces for box) , no-one bought directly from them the remaining packs and they sold them dirt cheap on eBay .
That's how I think they ended up on eBay

3.2mm is a standard size over here

I am dreadful for, "that looks a good buy", I now have a spare Burman gearbox to rebuild. I do have 3 bikes with the same gearbox.

I was able to pop into see a friend at an old company I used to work for, until they were sold out by the owner.

Their office is small and cramped, but they do have a skip. My friend pulled this out and let me have it.

They used to supply this type tool bags, they are ok, until your drill pokes a hole in the bottom.

The cone cutters are Mac tools, the Multi meter is a draper one. They are good enough to do simple tests.

Not much of use, but will be ok for spares.

 

[Chillitt]

Not one, but two Makita 5ah batteries have refused to charge today. I am bereft...

Another Metro. You can never have too many Metros!

My electric mate visited today fixed the bandsaw,a wire had detached in one of the safety interlocks,replaced a switch on one of the bench grinders.
THEN Some wheel trims arrived,actually cheaper than the same ones 2 years ago.

I think the chargers on the fritz rather than both the batteries. Its decided to charge one now. (No idea why I post here rather than things I have broken..)

The single chargers are a quite cheap. An easy & inexpensive fix, if it is the charger.

Might be 4WD but they don't cope with off-road very well pulling one back onto a Welsh forest stage.
