Bit of a windfall today, this is nice, wasn't free but happy with the price



The rest was freebies, some 5mm and 6mm silver steel



Nice collection of morse taper drill bits



Couple of morse taper reducers plus other stuff that I have no idea what it's for



These weren't free, eBay jobbie to sort out my bling rear lights on the D3

The 4 gold things in the last pic are resistors to put out the bulb warning light in a car when you swap a bulb for an led one

Yep, see my other post, just fitted D4 rear lights to my D3 and they are to sort out the hyper flash warning light issue.

Have added to the thread to explain

In the days of 1980 & Selmar car alarms that had a swinging pendulum sensor and earth switches on the bonnet & boot lid, I had to use several 50 ohm wire wound resistors like that at the switch & make a new earthing point, without them the alarm would not trigger otherwise . It wasn't very good .

The car got broken into whilst we were sightseeing for 1.5 hrs in Rouen , all our camping gear & personal stuff out of sight in the boot was stolen .. We were parked right next door to a busy pavement front restaurant, yet no one heard or saw a thing. despite it putting on all lights , flashing them on & off and sounding off a twin air horns for 15 seconds . All door locks & the boot lock had been " T " barred open, yet the alarms keyed switch was untouched .

plus other stuff that I have no idea what it's for

A couple could be gauges, one looks like a tailstock die holder. If you post pics of the specific ones, I'm sure the Collective will be able to give positive IDs.

This, for $13. It’s made in 1963 and I’m sure it’s a Wesco. Never seen one so shallow before! I love these things.

This 1966 Union Graduate lathe. I got it home with a friend in a people carrier, dismantled of course. It’s heavy but quite easy to manhandle, the column being the only bit that needs two people. It came with of chisels, four face plates including a big one (think it’s a 16”) all the tool rests and some homemade jobbies, the proper cast cover for the spindle, the lovolite and support, and a four jaw chuck. Oh, and they gave me a box of morse taper spurs, centres and a drill chuck, a huge 1.5” 2mt drill bit, and a box of wood turning books. I’m over the moon. I’ll put better pics up at the weekend.

I usually buy the poundstore 'Alraldite' knockoff for my arrow tips but I also got a glue gun today, never used a hot glue gun so I don't know if the adhesive is good.

Below the glue are some lathe freebie bits..

Edit: and some free hinges : )

Nice one! A very highly sought after woodturning lathe over here; most put in a variable speed drive.

I'm primarily a woodturner; it was wanting to make tools and rests etc. that got me into welding too!

Yes, some of them are die holders but do not have a tapered shank, needs further investgation when I have time

Came home today and Denise said I've put a surprise Infront of your DESK.

Had to tell her it's not a DESK it's a workbench.
