Ref Post 11101
The 3 wood planes.
All 3 have bean cleaned up, all have the Name Edwards stamped on all the parts. The manufacture name is to badly damaged to read, but they are or were Glasgow based.
This one needed the most work done on the wood. The damaged to the handle has bean repaired and stained to blend in the new exposed wood. The blade needed a new cutting angle put on to it and away it went.
This one needed a lot of work done on the metal parts. Re-ground the blade, new cutting angle was done to it. The cap iron was all but done for. But a friend helped with that and brought it back from the grave.
This one was cleaned in a warm solvent bath, a quick trip to wire brush land and all was good.
All now can be used for wood working, but I plan to move them on.
The roofers axe, the one with the split.
The head was brazed up and that crack filled. This showed on the other side was another crack, that again was filled with braze.
The Shaft is stained with black coffee, strong brew. It has also bean steeped in Linseed oil.
The damage means it will never be used again, but the fun was the repair.

I thought you were in trouble for bringing too much home with you. Where have you hidden it?

Not today, maybe a month or two back I fished this out the scrap skip at work, used to be one piece (someone will probably know what it was). Base is 10mm and will make a nice temporary/mobile welding bench for the time being. Castors removed tonight and I'll attach it with the 9" grinder to get the remains of the uprights off tomorrow.
Drum, well it's ali, but I think I might try a patio burner, see if it's thick enough to stand up to it.
And then there's this, Grandpa came up the road for august to stay with the folks while my Aunt and uncle were away (he's 96, still at home but needs a bit of help with shopping and things). He brought this up for me, he had always planned for me to have it and decided now was the time.
Story goes that he swapped something for it with a German commando at the end of the war (he was RAF), when he got home Grandma's dad thought it was to dangerous so broke the tip off
The Luger Pistol he brought back was thrown in a river many many years ago (before my time), it's difficult to get much out of him about this stuff, he doesn't talk about the war but I'm happy to have it. Also only found out during this visit that he had been a test pilot on the Barracuda, our attempt at a dive bomber, he said it wasn't very successful.

Having thought some more, could this be from an early gramophone , the narrow end may have fitted to bottom of the hollow arm that held the needle and resonator and the horn end underneath in the cabinet , a sort of built in amp ,

Today was a day I should of learnt to keep my mouth zipped up, more of that later.
Nice little India Fine Oil stone. £0:25. Price of a coffee from the machine.
Glass fibre pick axe shaft. Ex display stock, so one side is faded a bit compared to the other.
Not for the old one waiting to be restored, doesn't fit. But for the others ones I have.
Seamen's Dirks are a bit like bus's. Wait for 1 and a second one arrives.
That's as I got it, so no chance to see if there are any names or marks on it.
I was working on a site today. I like the site, they have a good staff canteen and it sells good food for reasonable prices.
As I was getting my paper worked signed off I made a joke to the owner:
"Those 2 IBC out back, take £10 for them?"
His answer:
"Show me you brown queens paper and they need to be gone by 8am"
I have just returned from a trip to collect them.
Cages included.
I now have to find a home.

Oh yes, I paid full price for the 3 "Dremel" style wire brushes.

I wanted one of them oscillating multitool jobbies, I just about have an excuse for one with some door hinges and some awkward sanding to do and people keep saying they are the dogs danglies and you'll find loads of uses once you have one. So I saw a body only Milwaukee C12MT for £54 inc VAT and delivery on t'internet, elsewhere 75 quid cheapest. It is now mine, and since delivery the supplier has upped the price to 70 quid
I have a fair bit of 12v Milwaukee now, nice and light and powerful enough for my use. I shall try it out in the morning, I daren't in the afternoon as I'm off to a beer festival at lunch time
It came with a saw blade and the usual triangular sanding pad and I've since bought a variety of finger sanders, rasps and blades from multitoolworld. It's minutes since I have bought a tool and I was getting withdrawal symptoms, I'm going sober for October so the savings in beer will pay for it.
Cheers
Andy

Actually acquired about a week ago from Bob (8ob on here) but just finished cleaning the 4 jaw SC chuck up.
It was seized solid and took quite a bit of penetrating oil and patience to get the scroll moving and then to get the jaws to free up. However, once the surface rust was cleaned off, the chuck turned out to be in brilliant condition, with absolutely no wear marks on the jaws.
Now I just need to sell a kidney to buy a D1-8 Camlock backplate so I can mount the chuck onto my DSG lathe.
I have that 3 jaw in bits at the moment, it's coming along nicely.

I have one of the Bosch mains ones, I don't use it a lot but it's great when you're faced with one of 'those' jobs.

Beat me to it. I also have the Bosch unit.
Mine was used a lot last year to cut the Mortice holes in a series of small plant stands I made.
