will there be pics involved in this build? look forward to itAll the steel needed to build my hydraulic bench-top press, all measured and cut to length by a very nice man in Inverness - he even carried it to the car for me!
Cheap at £40, I thought.

Hopefully, but I have a few projects to get out under my feet before I start.

The RAF & Navy seemed to have had a lot of x2's as they rarely needed to go cross country in the UK , there are one or two running around our locality too …..perhaps used for boat launches off slipways . There used to be a few in Holland in the 1960/70's. Saw my first one there in 1969 in Dutch Military brownish green .

has interesting info about them but does not mention the Dutch ones
Another Vintage Evershed & Knowles megger insulation tester.
This one is unusual in that it is dual range so it can be used for continuity testing as well.
That makes 3 meggers I have, all working perfectly. Probably too many so the Record Minor will be up for sale soon.
I tried some G10 cutting compound on a cloth on the red one & it came up beautifully, the marbled bakelite finish looks lovely. Finished it off with clear wax.
Arrow T55 staple gun, EMIR marking gauge, Stanley No 110 plane, Eclipse No 36 honing guide, Stanley No 151 & No 63 spokeshaves.
Warco branded horizontal whetstone sharpener with a 1000 grit Japanese wet stone fitted. It spins but is missing the water dripper & the guides to clamp your blades into, the main tool rest is there. Not hard to make them & it only cost me £30, the same sharpener branded Makita costs £300!
A log lifter for up to 12" logs. I got lucky on this one, it only cost me £8, there were 2 identical ones later in the auction that went for over £20! I only wanted one for a pattern, I'm going to make a few for the mens shed as we do a lot of green woodwork and these will be handy to move logs.

Hi I had to insulation test a generator on HMS Sheffield after the cooling header leaked, used one of these meggers 1000v version , made up some leads held the megger and cranked away squirting 1kv into my thumb, still remember that from 1978View attachment 172902

Got the lansky when I was really into my knifes, if I cant be bothered getting out the wet stone and spending ages on it then I grab this and get a great edge in 10 minutes. They do what you need but you wont learn anything on them....if that matters

Probably useful for me: i am not into knives, I have a few filleting/fishing knives that I have never sharpened since I got them. Will give it a go.Got the lansky when I was really into my knifes, if I cant be bothered getting out the wet stone and spending ages on it then I grab this and get a great edge in 10 minutes.

lol.It"s catchingI''ll see your spanners and raise you ten.
this is just the first box.
i think i've got 4 or 5 boxes of them that i bought at an auction intending to weld up a table top.
but having seen how much they're worth individually, i might cash them out and buy a load of silverline ones instead.

Went to a gun auction yesterday, like a kid in a sweet shop, there were some real bargains and lots of accessories etc. over 400 lots. I came away with a slab of 12g 32gramm 6.5`s for the pigeons, £40. My mate got a cracking moderated 20 bore with full length Hush power moderator £200, and a as new Baikal 12b O/U ejector for £75. Another one in September so saving my pennies..........

There used to be a good one held in Dumfries years ago. I had a good few bargains from it when I was into shooting. The best one being a little Brocock air cartridge pistol complete with a box of cartridges (admittedly most of them had valve faults and cost a bit to sort) for £3!
Had hours of fun with that thing plinking at spent shotgun cartridges behind the barn at home!
Where abouts is this bud?
Haven't heard of anything like this down in my neck of the woods.
