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

[DennisCA]

Some better pictures of last nights haul. The diameter of the wheel was understated, seller said 40cm but it's over 50cm.

A pretty cool multiple pulley system here, it moves a whole lot slower than you'd imagine if it was just two pulleys connected to a motor, in that case the upper pulley would have to be as big as the grinding wheel.

Is it a toy angle grinder?

Aye. The Bosch 12V jobbie. I was doing some cutting with the Makita grinder the other week, and realised what Optima' meant about those small grinders having a bit more finesse & control, for certain tasks, so thought sod it & ordered one.

Yer. But I think a separation would be on the cards. I treading lightly now with all the recent goodies. Mind you.....a few more bits wouldn't hurt

And my new air grease gun turned up.

 

[Rig Pig]

Dumped a load of scrap and scored a farm Jack from a mate. Needs a handle but works well.

What are they destined to become? Workshop(s), storage etc?

A high lift jack is awesome tool, makes a great come-a-long winch as well; I had one on my Jeep overseas for many years. Good find.

 

[Olderisbetter]

Had a nice find today, On my local freecycle a industrial sewing machine which i have been after for ages to do car seats and trim bits (and yes turn up the hem on my dress), and a load of older car parts again followed by some spanners and tool, The adjustable spanner looks interesting with its wobbly handle..

 

[Hood]

John its all part of my masterplan to dethrone king of hoarders @The_Yellow_Ardvark and take his title . On a serious note, I am condensing two yards into one and with these properly racked out I should end up gaining a lot more space.

Tomorrow I will be acquiring my big old camel back drill. Am excited.

 

[Hood]

Went to the big city to pick this up today. Not cheap but less than a Binzel by quite a bit and I got a good price on it from my local welding supplier

Never got much of a chance to try it out as I had to go and do other jobs this afternoon, hopefully tomorrow I will be able to put it through its paces.

 

[dan.taylor.1]

What is it?!

 

[Hood]

A Parker 8m push-pull torch.
