Collected this yesterday, so technically not valid for this thread, but I was too tired when I got back last night to do anything other than have a beer and watch the f1....View attachment 142839

Top quality machine, I have the Stel version of it, probably would have cost a couple of grand new.
Just about everything I've ever posted on here will have been welded with mine.

 

[Maker]

Any ideas what it is?

Wood?

A Keter work bench, very easy to put up and down. And it comes with two clamps.

Good tables, we have them.
The clamps are a pain in the ask no questions.

Wise tip.
Watch how you knock down the support lug in the middle.


Of tes they also do not like Citric acid on them.

Yep, ebay indeed, coupled with a long day out to collect. Seems a good machine from what ive read and seen, will get it all set up and start playing tomrrow evening.....

Paul, yes, it seems that it is indeed a rebadged stel, gets good reviews, and was advised it was worth a punt, so punt i did... lets hope @hugh_f hasnt been lieing to me!!

Not so much acquired today as found today when having a tidy, Wonder why the cable has been cut off !
Plus no ON/OFF switch which would suggest it was an early Elizabethan model.

Well after 4 boot sales and 2 country shows over the bank holiday all i came away with what i thought was worth it was an old leg vice, and i had to fight hard to get that lowered to 25 quid


Yer i know and only noticed when i got home the damn spring is missing
Still its now in bits and having a good soak in the citric acid bath ones in no rush to use it yet
Urm,any ideas on getting/making some sort of spring for it?

Found this the other day in the street. Given where I found it is miles from the airport, I was rather confused, however it looks great on the workshop wall as interesting junk!

I wonder what was the unserviceable bit.
Could be anything from the tea trolley to an engine.

Might have been the tag - and that's why it fell off.
