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

[Guzrik]

Put it at just above belly button height or slightly higher on four 100 mm dia 360 degree rotating lockable heavy duty red rubber tyred braked castors on a decent heavy stand with a 10 mm thick 900 x 900mm steel top .
That way you can lock it steady from any side or end if access is tight /difficult and you can easily move it as & when needed .

Yes something like this indeed, but I do think I'll need to fix it to a wall to use it.
It takes a three meter 5cm ID scaffold pipe as a handle, so I will pull it over otherwise I think.

My impulse angry sticker purchase arrived this morning:

I don't think I can be much clearer, all three bins stickered the same.

Also a ⅜" drive adapter for my Makita ratchet...

Now the replacement has arrived I can guarantee I will either find the other one I lost or immediately lose the ¼" one.

A non verbal poster might work better, English may not be the drivers first language!

Are they any use? I find that in cold weather, it's my fingertips that start to go numb first.

Yes, and I was surprised at just how much difference they made.

My workshop is an unheated single garage and the walls are made of diamond hard stone and yesterday it was baltic in there, but the gloves made being in there more than bearable. They're thick enough to keep my hands warm but thin enough to allow movement, and for £6.99 a pair I'll happily get some more next time I'm passing Screwfix.

[Memmeddu]

Today I've not acquired a 355mm cutting disc for my Makita cutoff saw.
As I need one but I cannot find one with the 30mm hole
They are apparently out of production.
I have to try to see if the husky centering washer fits on the cutoff
Otherwise I'll have to delay a job was intended to start this morning

 

[God mode restorations]

Recently acquired. I had these made by historic threads for an upcoming item...4 inch long by 1inch diameter pre war whitworth bolts/nuts...

 

[brewdexta]

Today I acquired, and continue to acquire barrow loads of road surface and other assorted carp. There's a grid with a big sump and a 6" pipe at the top right, this is the overflow

Its due to this sudden temp change, grids blocked with leaves and gravel plus a blocked field drain in a neighbours meadow.

Today Swmbo happy to see the all singing all dancing Samsung oven removed, replaced with a relatively cheap Beco.. The Samsung still works, but dies strange things. It switched itself on last week, final straw.

 

[Cobbler]

Today I acquired …… an R-Tech mig from Morrisman, good to meet you, always good to put a face to a name, thanks.

Thats a lot of water, where does it go once its done the steps?

 

[My Old Landy]

We have been invited onto MOD land for an event and as the risk assessment mentioned a CO2 extinguisher, we thought it best to get one.
Hopefully it will fit the bill

[Robotstar5]

The forum costs me money again haven't got a use for it at the moment, but I'm sure it will come in handy one day.......... if I can find it.

But it will put a fire out and is a lot better than not having one?

That is true.
But insurance companies can be funny n that.
That co2 is really only good for electrical fires.

Exactly, if the laser catches on fire, it is the recommended extinguisher.
We are going to be outside in a tent, so I expect they will have the full compliment of gear. This is just a precaution for my own safety.

What's the best type as an all-rounder?
