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

[Farside]

A quick waltz around a couple of bootsales netted me this assortment.
Green 8 or 10mm water line that's more than suitable for air tool duties, at half the price the joker in the next stall wanted for something with crappy PCL fittings and wouldn't budge on price when I told him they were no good to me.
Set of four 5" casters - two braked, two fixed, brand new for max half price if they're actually the same ones I've seen online.
A nodd little hammer, with a broken leg. Soon sort that, but it appealed to me to save it.

Might be a panel beater's hammer, not sure. Obviously some kind of hammer for some kind of beater. If it belonged to the boss, it would be a master beater's.

looks like a nice hammer, maybe a sheet metal working hammer.

but, theres no collet or collet nut.

If you find a parts diagram. It could be they are a common design across a few machines.

Have you any independent Hire shops near you? They may have spares.

If it weighs around 1 1/2 pounds, it looks like it would be a rounding hammer for blacksmith work.

not engineering related, but the start of the Tour de yorkshire cycle race started in my home town today, so it would be rude not to get some freebies. now normally I dont get freebies, because unless you want them, they are just clutter. so last yeart I got 35 packets of mugshots, and as the were one of the race sponsors again I thought it would make sense to try for a new "personal best", as that seems to be important to sports people. so today I got 48 packets......think my sister will be pleased as she is the one that eats them......so I get a freebie to give away

been down that route...

its from the early 80s so unlikely to be in hire shops (although its worth a try, i suppose).

and the part number for collet and nut are unique to this model - and people were struggling to get hold of them as far back as 2010.

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.

That’s not a Record, it is a Parkinson’s Handy vice

It's a farriers' turning hammer for making horseshoes.

 

[julianthegypsy]

Wanted one for ages but even rubbish ones seem to go for silly money, then this beast popped up an hour down the road. I was so enthusiastic that I may still have his arm in the back of the car! It's a 2hp motor incidentally

Excellent, Green with envy.

I've been scanning the ads almost hourly for months, and so has the boss. Almost bought a new cheapie off evilbay but our perseverance finally paid off. The disc end is in pieces but looks like a quick reassembly, and I'm not bothered about that end anyway. Already got a new belt and will be fitting it tomorrow. Just a bit chuffed!

 

[Jlg]

This it’s not welding related but I bought it before having a unexpected bill that’s left me with no spending money so it’s nice it’s turned up

That looks a sensible size 3ven though no mug for scale. Looks 1m long ish at least.

First acquisition in a while as I’ve been so busy. Today put a firm stop to that!

A Mohawk Shelburne (cheap Millers Falls line) brace, and a set of auger bits, free.

A Record No 145 breast drill. $40. These were made between 1933-38, not exactly a big run! Having some difficulty getting it apart - watch this space... pics tomorrow as I’m too tired to go to the workshop tonight
