There aren't any suitable " O " rings for Hozelock spigot nozzles in them . I had to buy a pack of 20 off 11.3 ID x 2.3mm from Amazon for something like £2.43 inc P&P

Pub near me had new decking done, I got two cubic metres of fire wood, some big timbers and a stack of decking offcuts for free.

That's a 6" rule beside it, for scale.

Also...



I'd managed to resist one of these in the past, until @Gragson went & started his mystery bearings thread & set me off again.

The display on your model is a lot bigger!



I know it's a different model but might need that one unless I can grow those eyeballs

See you have the JCB coloured version of the chair - you should be good, I've really put a lot of weight on and launching off at angles probably stresses although childishly good fun..

Aye. Just took my fancy, that colour. When I was taking the photo, I was thinking: "I'm not usually a fan of yellow", then noticed both the plane & Eric nearby, & thought: "I take that back".

This made me chuckle, on the chair box.

Faithfully do them as well, I bought one from our local ironmongers years ago.

Very fast cement,my usual is 15-20 minutes,this stuffs 8! Like Henry ford with his production line,it’s an attempt to get my staff to work faster . The longer nipples,will help with bleeding,there’s insufficient space to turn the spanner whilst keeping the pipe attached.
The paint is to tidy up the pre production bowling machine that’s in the shop for some refining.

Went to buy new fasteners for the cut off I'm restoring.
Bought the bolts and a spray can which actually sprays a clear coat which is not paint but plastic , bought to protect the name plate .
Then I went to buy a vintage angle grinder.
A full aluminium body from the 1950's 1960's similar to black and decker wildcat grinders, which is a future Restoration project.
I don't need this thing but it's a piece of history which would probably end up at the scrap otherwise.
Here comes the interesting side of things .
While talking I've discovered the seller was lathe turning teacher after saying him I'm a machinist.
Great he asked if I needed few spot drills , I've said sure .
He said me to look around for things I might need.
Me ok
So I've got
6 spot drills
A bunch of scribes
I think 3 tracing compasses
A vernier
A morse tape 4-5 wedge (he said only a machinist could take it)
An USAG pipe 1 and 1/2" pipe wrench.
A big precision ground square (brand new)
A 10mm square nut wrench
Two letters and numbers punches sets .
A shop built big soldering iron.
A 1950's issued firefighters hatchet.
Probably other things I've not seen
Now the real great bargain.
A 30x60x15 cm plastic boxes filled with a bunch of brand new , still wrapped with paper in the boxes ...
A variety between sizes and shapes ,coarse ,mild , half mild Nicholson files .
I've asked for the price after giving him 40 euros for the grinder.
Well he said Quote: I'll make you an offer, and then you decide.
Is it ok for you 60 euro for everything?
Me in my head I was like: you got to be kidding me?
My answer: perfect we got the deal .

I've already collected the grinder but since my kidneys moved I didn't shot a picture.
Going to collect the upmentioned lot next Saturday cause I didn't have space in my trunk

 

[The_Yellow_Ardvark]

Part two.
Ignore the chair, I was board and had nowt to do.

Look at the name.
No, it is a modern copy.

The lot was £135.

 

[Seadog]

You get some weird stuff.
