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

[mpats]

Then if some time later I was working at a friends house who works part time for a fire safety company I asked her to get a couple of extinguishers checked over and sorted out if needed. If she reckoned the bloke there said that halon had been banned since he were a lad due to ozone depletion and were now only used by the military.

Obviously seeing as it's illegal to discharge halon this is just a hypothetical story.

Good find

And Aviation. That is where, hypothetically speaking, a person might get their garage fire ext from

It may or a good chance it will not.

Pressure is to high, indicating it has got hot at some point. Or the contents are breaking down.

Missing the Discharge nozzle.

Its 25+ years old and condemned.


It will make a nice wall decoration.

Good few days getting my "mits" onto some nice stuff.





Old fashioned tape measure. I got it as it has a decnt brass winding handle on it.
I need that to repair one of mine.

No3 Phillips and a pair of "slip jaws". They were "picked" from a river in Salisbury.



A decent cabinet scraper and Circle glass cutter.



This was posted yesterday, a old fashioned Wall Paper cutter"

Another Old Single colour Railway lamp. There is a makers name plate on it. I will clean it up and post the details.



Another big 2 colour Railway Mans lamp. In good condition, until some "Muppet" gave it a glancing blow on the edge of the vice, damaging the bezel and breaking the glass.
Not happy.

Finally, this wonderful "Gem."



A Nice hand made Differential set up. Made in Brass and steel.
Free to move, but still. With luck just build of dirt.

……………….. It will make a nice wall decoration.

Right next to the other fire extinguishers.

Right next to the other fire extinguishers.

They are not wall decorations, they are:

Dust collectors.
Knee hurters.
Door stops.
Money waster.
I have more names if you want.

I have one of those also, I think I paid £5 for it.

 

[The_Yellow_Ardvark]

A bad mood.

I brought the circle glass cutter for another project. Not the new to be railway lantern.

But I was a Muppet and broke it.

Oh I might as well do both at the same time.
No.
I just cracked the other one trying to work out how best to remove it.

Yesterday I acquired a face like a trod on chip when I had to burn 20 sheets of very nice 4mm exterior grade plywood that had gone mouldy, which i got for free and I was going to use to line my boats cabin with.

I've now got an oil drum full of ash , my neighbor isn't speaking to me anymore and claiming its illegal to have a bonfire, which is bolloux.

From t'internet:

"The law on domestic bonfires in England and Wales is very simple: there isn’t one; there is, however, a law against any subsequent nuisance that having one might cause. As the Government puts it:

You can’t get rid of household waste if it will cause pollution or harm people’s health. This includes burning it.

However, the legal principle is that any nuisance must usually happen on a regular basis to be considered so:

Your council can issue an ‘abatement notice’ if a neighbour’s bonfire is causing a nuisance. A bonfire must happen frequently to be considered a nuisance."

there's also sometimes byelaws governing garden fires.
