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

[DennisCA]

I brought the snow blower home today and used it and I am really satisfied with how it just chews through wet snow, we have above freezing temps now and lots of snow and I have a lot of snow that has just piled up in places we didn't used to clear when we only used manual labour. And with the thaw a lot has fallen off the roof. The only problem I have is when the traction is not sufficient, that's been the only thing stopping me from chewing through everything. Gonna have to break up those banks, they are getting too tall there, but once I do that I can plow through that too.

all that snow and life goes on round our way get 2 inches and everything is grid locked

Lovely old petrol can, not sure if I should leave as is or restore it.

It's a lamp in disguise......

No problem can you recommend a way to centre a new one to bore it out

Either clamp it to the faceplate, else make a sleeve to fit around the teeth, (slit the ring or sleeve to allow it to compress slightly), then pop it in a 4, preferably, else 3 jaw chuck.

Don't mock. I was having this discussion with my mum the other night, as to what I could, (reversible), convert the big Pollard drill into to justify taking it with me, (rather than selling it), & having it as an acceptable "feature" in a flat/house etc. Especially after the time & effort which went into collecting that, I'm damn loathe to part with it, & lineshaft drills aren't exactly commonplace.

Ripped this out of my neighbours shed with a crowbar

No key sadly. Am I allowed to ask?

I don't have anything big enough to do that

Clamp it on the cross-slide and pop a flycutter in the chuck.

I think they had a falling out with their maintenance contractors, something about shoddy workmanship

The tool box was securely held in place by two tiny wood screws...

One of these, as lusted after for a couple of years now - A very good good price, full service history, previous owner has been banned from riding, by his wife - had a 15mph oops and broke his wrist, ill wind blows every cloud that has a big black 1400cc lining, eh?
