Lovely stuff. My next machine will be either one of these or a small mill, something like a Tom Senior. Can we see a picture of your workshop with all the machines in now?

Here is a picture of chaos...one saw is in the cleaning tub...other saw just got in. Mow in bits...fly press at the back..waiting paint. Guillotine on the left..a mess at the moment.

My cousin's old Sealey "Premier" socket set, he hasn't touched them for years, since he became a mechanic and got loads of fancy pants Snap-On tools.

I bought one of these brand new back in 1969. I had stuff stolen from my garage a few years later and this was the only thing they left behind. Still got it and in perfect working order. I might have the instructions somewhere if you want a copy.

I've got a Wanner grease gun as well, bought 1965/6, don't think I've had a car in the last 35 years with a grease nipple to use it on though. Use it on odd occasions on odds & sods, sons Landy etc. Still works as good as new, they were beautifully made, I doubt if anything you buy today is as good.

I got a Wanner copy from Freecycle and it just feels cheap & nasty.

That back wall is just crying out for a couple of stout shelves..

A tap holder very nicely made.
Angle drill chuck. Mines huge in comparison so pleased with this one for tight spaces.
Some shears
And some old c clamps.

Having a sort out in the tool box i acquired with my house, Found an old dissolvable tablet tube. Tipped it out and these fell out along with a lot of black little balls.

The larger one is empty, how can i dispose of the other two.

Find a large body of water locally and throw them in. No point notifying authorities unless you want to come under a lot of suspicion and close scrutiny.

You can't even send nail polish in the post these days.

Two tool boxes of utter junk but i think i found the handle for the blind mechanism in the living room which i'm hoping to get working once i chip out all the filler.

Going by personal experience, send them back to yourself with yodel. Big chance they will disappear without trace.

Over here a little old lady sent a letter to a minister dusted in talcum powder... Shut down the entire sorting office and called out the decontamination squad. Then again, I'm not sure these scanners are all they're cracked up to be. A few years ago I boarded a long distance jet to find a weird box in my top pocket when I sat down - it was a mini box of matches!
