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

Free strong shelving, 1700mm x 400mm with 4 shelves went straight in the little shed and got filled upView attachment 422786

So neat and tidy - just like my place

 

[Gragson]

Hope there's some sort of security to using it, heard a few tales of folks coming home to strangers' EVs parked on the drive and plugged into their charging points...

My drive is quite a long skinny one private, no chance of seeing it from the road.
CCTV on MD on drive and porch area alerts to my phone.
Reasonably large dog that goes mentle when anyones on the drive.
4 adults, nearly always someone is in.
My office window is directly above the charge point,& selection of 12g's
I can disable it with the app - which is rubbish - and it does lock the cables when in use.
Am I being paranoid

What has always bugged me around here is the ease of access to supply/meters, both electric and gas on mine could be opened in seconds by pranksters or worse, sure theres some sort of rules about utilities needing to turn up and check unannounced but it does concern me even if I can get them on cctv.

I thought I was the only person out in the workshop at 9pm

 

[JOEPRO]

A FB find, cheap hot air station for de soldering

This gives me a really good soldering setup now with my other stuff. Don't need this often but when a small chip or component needs to come off a board this is the best tool for the job

 

[MetalMonkey]

Picked up some cheap supplies for the workshop

And a bargain SP puller with the three and two leg yokes - couple of rust spots but it doesn't look to have been used much, if at all.

That puller looks a darn sight better than the set of three pullers I purchased two yrs ago from eBay as quality " made in Germany "
Carsten did some checking for me .. made in China and sold in Europe under a Dutch registered company , The screw bolts were not evenly hexagonal , had to get th angle grinder out and get them to a sensible 17 mm nut head .Had to regrind all the claws so they would actually grip rathe than slide off , they were that bad .
Had to chase the bolt threads on all three pullers as well , none would run the full thread length into the center web thread

 

[Shox Dr]

Ooh Good a painting machine, pity it doesn't do itself. I'll be doing the whole house if Im not careful...



The supplied hose is useless. Its like a coiled spring.

Is is just hydraulic hose, with a liner?

 

[Norsk]

Doused my Lancia in that a few years ago.

So far, so good. As I had to go wading in it a few times last Friday to get home, the bottom is now lovely and clean, so I guess I'll really see how good it is in a week or two when I get a chance to give it a good looking over.

On trailer towing duty again this weekend to take a further load of stuff from my mums to the tip or home.

I did the chassis and underside of my galvanised Defender with it 6 years ago, think it still looks good.

A little ER collet stock up

Had a minor CNC lathe offset issue, and managed to wipe out a collet

Some more of moderator @Paul. tools live on,I’m sure we’re all grateful to @Paulbarrett for handing this task in helping the family.
with the kind help of @puffernutter this package reached me without leaving my chair.
im guessing Paul was left handed,one handle gives away,but on 2nd glance,one had the gearbox turned 90 to enable easier switch operation.
Another observation shows one Bosch grinder made in Russia!
The usual pile of steel ,courtesy of the sole female hgv driver that regularly enters my yard.

 

[Paulbarrett]

Ah great, all landed ok.
I’m getting by there with it. Need to have another sort of the smaller remaining stuff now.

Today it's been a Polsky day .
I'm 250 euros lighter and little bit confused but I guess it's safe to say I've got a bargain.
I've bought a Fiat 126 complete engine.
It requires just little bit of love .
With the engine I've got
A Fiat 500F gearbox which it's not synchronized but it has a 8/41 crown and pinion gear at the diff , it's shorter than the original on the 126p
A 126 clutch housing (Ideal for testing)
A couple unknown camshafts.
A motorcycle ignition coil (for higher revs)
A couple of Mikuni 40mm injection carbs probably from a Ducati 900cc or a Suzuki GSX 750
Engine has gotten ports job , polished crankshaft counterweight, and skirt lightening on the pistons , plus oil cooling circuit
It requires honing , and journals grinding .
I've got also an Abarth 850 TC steering wheel .
Now I've enough material to start thinking to make this car crazy.
I'm in struggle with myself because I have everything to make it crazy but if I do so I might not have enough nuts to put it on the road because would be like a motorcycle sounding car and a cop target ,I would like to avoid problems but on the other side I'm not an idiot and I can safely drive it no problems .
And I'm always been of the idea to make a low speed fast acceleration car
