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

[Onoff]

Spend £80 on a freebie! I think not.

Aside from a suitable 16V psu, I'm assuming I need a docking station / port replicator to do much with this acquisition?

Well, it's a touch screen, so assuming you can charge it without a dock and that it has a woking copy of windows already installed, you will get some mileage without a dock if you don't mind prodding at a virtual keyboard with a finger or a stylus. Depends what you intend to do with it

£40 is the cheapest I can find a docking station for so far.

If the pad works & may be of use, is £40 really a stretch?

A brand new Clarke cold steel chop saw with coolant pump, i paid £30 quid for it , RRP £360 , with only one minor little itsy bitsy fault...

It was crushed during delivery to the warehouse and it's snapped in half .

Was it £30 because it was already snapped in half or did the courier do it.

No sure if that warrants congratulations or commiserations

Damaged on delivery to the tool shop.

 

[sardine]

That'll be an interesting repair, weld and mill, I presume.....

I dont have AC TIG and its probably monkey metal so i will make a new steel base plate for it.

 

[DAPPH]

Package it up, post it back to yourself, insured, and then claim it was damaged by the couriers.

Are you a Scot by any chance Cheb ? Which reminds me ..........never buy a chainsaw off a Jock for similar reasons .

 

[DAPPH]

Four tubes of JB weld, a dozen self- tappers and a dozen penny washers for bracing either side of the break,

Very best with it, you will enjoy that work I'm sure, it's the people factor that make work, a lot of work..
Sorry for the radio silence, work has been a bloody nightmare of late

Look up "Non material chamge application" for your area. Normally free to apply. And how long was the work done? If over a certain no of years (5 or 6 something like that depending on district) it may be immune from enforcement anyway.

Basically you may not even need to apply in the first place so check it out before proceeding.

Yeah, work took place earlier this year but will check anyways

 

[The_Yellow_Ardvark]

A box and in the box was things.

£50.
For the box, the items were free, a tax thing.

The puncture repair kit is un-used.

A Lamp.
The history is looking good.


Shame to wick holed is a modern item.

The dust was free.




Oh yes a heater.

inaly.

A SEL Engine.

Some stainless Steel for a handrail,lovely 4 flute drill,so proper round holes in the flagstones ,how do they produce the raised lettering very clever ,then belts for the new pipe linisher.

,how do they produce the raised lettering very clever

It'll be forged/stamped prior to being twisted.

Three big boxes, however there should have only been two..

 

[roblane65]

to day I acquired a very nice

Gedore slitting chisel will be handy when I get round to finishing the van repairs
and then this afternoon I found a

halfords advanced 19mm impact socket ( 1/2" drive ) albeit a bit rusty but funnily enough 19 mil is the only size missing from my standard impact sockets
