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

[DennisCA]

3/8 UNC rod and a set of taps for the same (weird brand called Ruko, in local dialect that means shoddy/bad, but they're made in Germany). Gonna have to build a custom puller to get the impeller of my dust collector, and while it's almost entirely metric, two key spots are UNC.

Not today, last week while I was in a agricultural supply shop near Doncaster with a mate who went to get some feed for their horses, I saw (pardon the pun) this and it's perfect for coppicing and removing branches. I have a big husky 455 rancher which is great for the bigger stuff but kills your arms when pruning smaller stuff. The missus wants to use it and I doubt if my one size fits all chainsaw chaps will fit her, they are massive on me so I can see some further expense on the horizon including a short course. It's battery powered and its the smaller charge size so only about 15 minutes use out of this one but I'll get a bigger one at some point.

This does not sems to much good
But i don't think that this screwdriver was a good brand one
The mine is Beta, the video one may be something like made in Burundi or similar, than i can also think that was not only 230v but little bit more (10000v or near this range)

There's a while kiosk full off rusty chocolate tools in the center mk. Some of them are indistinguishable from the real deal by eye.

 

[sardine]

Not very nice chocolate.

Nom, nom, nom, nom

[dobbslc]

Yes, photo, video & sound, it comes with night vision too.

 

[Olderisbetter]

Got a length of 115mm box section 4mm wall 4 meters long for £40, Welded a plate on the end at an angle and a tube through it, Not sure how much it can lift but it is mainly for the look.

 

[fixerupper]

I got another big load of firewood ....and had a good old root about I think there is one more next week ...well pleased ....

 

[julianthegypsy]

Collected this and finally got it to the kitchen, with much help. Standard Clarke/warco/axminster/Rongfu, but with some very neat upgrades. Quick action locks on y and z axis, dro on X and y, and a slick mod with two brackets, precision rod and a linear bearing so it stays true when raising or lowering the head. Well pleased. Now I just have to waterproof the shed, build a stand and get it from kitchen floor to bench in shed!

A machine tool in the kitchen, have you lost the will to live?

 

[julianthegypsy]

My "wife" reminds me that she is a very tolerant person who doesn't mind milling machines in the kitchen and isn't in the slightest watching over my shoulder!

looks like a nice wee mill there

A nice wee 200 kilos Lee! The DRO will come in very handy for coordinate drilling, which is a thing I seem to do quite often lately!
