Today I acquired:

Sweaty palms.

Awareness of twitching curtains.

Slight paranoia when opening car boot.

Well, it was my very first skip dive.....

Nice working height speed-frame table, with adjustable feet.

All I need now is a chunky piece of worktop so I bolt my drill press and / or grinder onto it.

ikea usually have a pallet near the loading areas: full of scrap wood/worktops/chitboard , free for the taking.

Im slowly lining my shed with old melamine wardrobe sides.

You definitely have better shops round your way, all our charity shops are full of clothes and tat.

This was no were near my house, or my play pen.

But that's the joy of my job.



Old Draper Junior hacksaw.



Odd assorted coins.

See Dull.

But that's not all.



A rusty, seized shut tin, but with some weight.



Another set of brass weights.



And a old book.

The tin, was heavy.
But I got it opened.


Full of jewellery. £1:00. I had no idea what was in the tin.




There is a Odd Ball mix. Same paste muck, silver and gold (Hall marked) but I haven't had time. yet to investigate.

Sorry about the amount of post.

But having issues uploading images from phone.


Nearly new kerosene Water boiler. Made by Beatrice.






Gives of surprizing amount of heat for the size of it.



With instructions.

 

[The_Yellow_Ardvark]

This is why I went in.

 

[Farside]

because it IS going to go bad - and you'll be glad you have evidence.

Bingo.
And the day it does go bad, it could be very bad indeed. Some poor buzzer might pay the ultimate price because that corner-cutting beef flange
has neglected to do something very important or falsified some entry or data and made it look like someone else's fault.
That type also has a tendency to come out smelling of Windolene and roses, while some other poor unfortunate gets the blame, so watch yourself.

Ardy ,
Can you open up an independent email account on a totally unconnected computer to this site and send regular emails to it detailing that you are extremely concerned ABOUT THE MANAGER BECAUSE HE APPEARS TO HAVE LITTLE SENSE OF THE NEEDS FOR SAFETY AND REGULATIONSS THEN PUT YOUR CONCERNS ?
( Sorry for the caps I hit the wrong key )

That way you can draw them off the internet on a separate computer for interrogation if needed , thus keeping your work totally separate from your lunch time forages ?


It's horrible to have to keep going to work knowing just how much of a dipship your manager is. It's even worse when the ethos of the company is to keep sending ones of the same or lesser calibre when the Wayne Kerr gets promoted or sacked .

Working for BT I had 17 new managers in 9 years , glad to have become injured at work and medically discharged for I was getting close to lamping the last two but one with something heavy .

All text are screen shot and saved to a G mail account.

Same with E mails.

Phones calls are recorded.

We are covering my dairy air.

New Manager to me.

"Why do you have to be on site for three hours, for the yearly visit?'

I replied.
" The regulation states: The yearly visit is to be of a duration of 180 minutes of battery power."

His reply:
"Well can't we just say we have done it?'

My reply.(short version).


No.

Via E mail.
That does not explain why you have to be on site for 3 hours.

I replied, via emailed.
I copied in the company Compliance manager, My big Boss, all my team(By accident) and the CEO.

I do not Womball during lunch time.

I've been a very naughty boy. I heard about a woodworking workshop downsizing and flogging off some tools. I was driving down to Basildon to work and was already taking the trailer as I had bought something else so did a detour. But I only expected to get some clamps from this workshop, how wrong could I be

A pair of Wadkin PK dimension saws, a 1957 and a 58. Both in working condition, one with a DC brake and serviced recently.

Also came with half a dozen blades. Not too sure which one to keep and if to restore both or just the one I want to keep.

Weight with all the accessories is about 730kg a piece, there are a few bits missing so guessing I have about 1450kg on the trailer. It's twin axle so should be fine, I'm towing with a Disco 3. But i won't now pick up the machine I was initially bringing the trailer for, this was a similar era bobbin sander, this comes in around 4 to 500kg so will wait for the next journey, it would just about fit in the back of the disco but don't like pushing the envelope.

I have bought a few more ratchet straps as some have seen better days and I'll head back to Yorkshire in the morning. Weather forecast is fine so with a bit of luck I won't have to get the tarp out

Cheers
Andy

Just couldn’t resist the cordless grinder I got in the summer didn’t last long hoping 4ah battery helps this. Got a spare 2ah and charger just because it was next to it.

What you experienced is known as an aberration - acceptable provided it doesn't become a habit

Pick this up today not many formers but should be ok for my roll cage , dont often get a bargain on ebay very often but I thought £25 was a steal

 

[Munkul]

That's a genuine Tubela, one of the best on the market. Ours at work has done so much work it's unreal. Must be 20-30 years old. We bought a full seal kit and a powered hydraulic conversion kit from Tubela last year and has made handrailing etc much easier and faster.

£25 was a ridiculous bargain.
