3 Brita water filter taps brand new ex display items, middle one is £ 289 retail price the other two about £200 !

Thrown away by a well known DIY chain store.

A new boss!

Current boss good times and plenty of run ins over 10 years - but he leaves me to it and lets me run my own agenda.
Not looking forward to the devil I don't know, which I have no choice in acquiring...!

Today i had a nice find after a bit of skip diving i ended up helping the house owner empty his garage and shed, The mini shot blast cabinet looks like it was used once and the tool boxes had plenty on gordon and britool parts

I know a man that builds model railway so it will go to him to be looked after.

Some sheers and drill bit holder earlier this week.

Propane torch. Cheers @T0rnado69 arrived safely.

a new vape stick at last. Been running a backup for a month and very underpowered.

Some tooling for when the current project lathe is finished.

Nice rollerbox

And a jacobs chuck in a holder.
1" shank inside so will fit the capstan.
Sure il find a use for the holder.

You wouldn't believe the FLP and Exd kit we've thrown into skips in work over the last few months. Lovely heavy stuff but couldn't bring the stuff home from work due to CAA flying requirements offshore. All skipped!

I would, along with 1000s of pounds worth of stainless tube and fittings, just because some one wanted a tidy up!

Bought another dial indicator stand, from ebay, not yet arrived, will be interesting to see what quality it is:

Plan to put my current indicator in this one and use the old, smaller stand for a DTI.

 

[winchman]

A new lathe!
Chance conversation and my tiny Sherline lathe has now been replaced.
I think its a 1908 Drummond.
The Sherline has been a fantastic machine but its just too small for the stuff I need to make, I can feel my back hurting at the thought of moving it!

^^ Was that originally a treadle machine?
