No, it's boiled Linseed oil, takes a long time to dry, but in my experience prevents condensation related surface rust in a shed type situation.

In my defense I filled about 10 skips so didn't have a huge amount of time!
I almost fished out a pair of 1980s vintage bike lights...they were mint...but just how much stuff can you keep really!

Hi everyone
To day I popped to my local recycling centre and came with more than I bargained for, I already own a fobco star floor standing drill but couldn't leave this atlas drill their and the grinder is a lot better than the one I already have, just to remove the old steel cable and give it try

Good catch! These were originally advertised as light milling machines, due to the bearings they use on the quill!.

I stopped by to se a friend today, and noted how cool it was inside. He had bought a portable Air Conditioner from Lidl about a week ago. It impressed me enough to drive over to Tylorstown on the chance there was one left. Surprisingly there were six, hidden behind other pallets of stuff. 
Anyway, as it only gets hot for a couple of weeks or so here in the UK, I couldn't see the need to spend thousand's for a permanent installation in our small home. Price was £159.oo ( rated at 7000 BTU )

Price was £159.oo ( rated at 7000 BTU )About 20 scba air tanks from auction (surprisingly half were full so promptly discharged before getting back on the motorway, didn't want to end up recreating a jihad car ) which also included some vintage pre-halon scary fire extinguishers that I have absolutely no idea what to do with for either, don't suppose anyone here likes to collect these peculiar historical devices or wants some steel tanks? They make lovely bells when smacked against your knees

Vice prices over here seem to have gone mad recently. They were always more expensive than GB but at a local weekly auction a vice that you could buy for £60 last year is now making at least double!You were trying to haggle £25 down on a Record no 4???That's a steal of a price I pay around £100 for a no 4 here in NI. Yes that's for ones which were also stored in a hedge
It just always amazes me what members here want to pay for stuff.

The air tank shape make excellent workshop hanging tanks for setting up bikes.

Tell me about it. When I bought my Paramo, the run-of-the-mill cheapy Chinese rubbishy ones were fetching stupid money and I ended up paying €100 quid for that one.Vice prices over here seem to have gone mad recently.

Quite sure I could have got that for a quarter of the price over the water, at the time.

If the scuba tanks are steel they quite often are made out of En19. They machine beautifully! Had a job years ago that we used redundant bottles to make spacer rings out ofAbout 20 scba air tanks from auction (surprisingly half were full so promptly discharged before getting back on the motorway, didn't want to end up recreating a jihad car

@Bki26 If it were me, I would link some tanks together (valves down) and mount them on the outside wall of my garage as extra volume for the air compressor, then run a pipe through the wall, attach a moisture trap, and connect it with a flex hose so the compressor is still portable if needed.

Advertise them as such, I bet they'll go like the clappers.

I have an old 200 bar scuba tank here. I am going to saw the end off it. that domed base will be a useful dolly/stake for panel beating work. The valves on your tanks don't look like either the 'A' Clamp or 'DIN' style that are pretty much the scuba standard.
BTW, I still have a couple of Halon extinguishers here, the pressure guages indicate that they're still full. If someone needs to put out a fire, they're more likely to think of saving life or property than potential incremental damage to the ozone layer

They're scba tanks for firefighters/confined spaces etc so use 7/8-14 unf thread which is extremely popular for pcp airgun users it seems.
They're 9L 134bar/1980psi tanks so if you want a bunch just say lol
