[Johnnybravo]

A nearly complete milling machine again. Had the slideways reground in December,but haven’t had a chance to reassemble it up until now .

 

[slim_boy_fat]

Awww........ Are you going to keep the wee chap?

Aye, he might just have found a place to lodge, for the foreseeable anyway.

 

[DennisCA]

Replacement scale for my heidenhain DRO, an LS703 scale, got it for price of shipping.

 

[knighty]

A good day today.

Decent finds in a skip on one site.



Record No. 1 with a different handle.



MOD Gun cleaning kit. Mrs TYA saw it in a shop and brought it. @Wozzaaah The one in church walk.



Sam skip as the vice, two odd chucks and some party shot glass's. Great for mixing up small amount of paint or seize for gold leaf.



From the same site as the white railway lantern, one of the "sparkies" saved me this.

 

[The_Yellow_Ardvark]

4 bottles of oxygen and 2 cans of paint.
Ordered Thursday morning arrived today.

Got me a new gadget to compliment my Cardboard aided design system, this thing is so useful for marking/scribing out oddball shapes on steel plate

Later on I'll have a look at him but I'm sanding and need a vacuum now.
My cunning plan is to have him in my garage...

 

[MikeBB1970]

A handful of rust including a knife (which I thought I'd put on here already ) ; it's a ' Survivor' badly sharpened on a grinder but all free.

I found information on YouTube about the knife. Also purchased an electrical socket rethreading tool and another book.

And a larger item arrived yesterday , for wife ; some Lazy Girl wotsit thing.

 

[Arc Tourist]

Today I acquired a couple of Astronomy books from a charity shop, and the new welding helmet I recently ordered from Rapid.

 

[Shox Dr]

The powder flask was made by G&JW Hawksley of Sheffield 19c. Sadly the spring is missing

 

[angellonewolf]

^^^^^got one of those levels use in my daily tool bag good level

 

[Tangledfeet]

Peace and quiet, as of a few moments ago.

(Mind yourself on the roads, folks; the roads will now be rammed with (largely) women in 4WD's heading off to the stables as they're all fired up to ride their ponies after watching Badminton gymkhana on telly all day. Its been close to seven hours of it today... at least I've had the workshop to escape to but the poor dogs have been stuck with it.)

 

[Arc Tourist]

Oooooh, carver clamps !

 

[dobbslc]

New Henry

I've also just discovered that I had the motor in old Henry upside down!
Might explain a few things....

 

[steviec_lj]

Today I acquired an incorrect steel order. It’s the first chance I’ve been able to get to the site.

FH Brundle are a bunch of idiots. I have 50x50x4 instead of 60x60x4 which is less than helpful as the specs and gaps left are for 60x60. It was also 2 weeks late, and the order was delivered in 4 parts, despite them being told it’s an unmanned site, and to call 30 minutes before delivery.

Father got a locker with i dont know how many sockets, a gearbox oil pump, a lifting chain that's gone into the digger cab, some new Aldi tools, 2 welding masks, a few spray guns, and a gas torch, not a bad haul!!
