craftsman 1 1/2hp 1100w 1/4" router.

thought i'd got a bargain @£4

but, theres no collet or collet nut.

and theyre NLA :-(

So months of searching on ebay.com to get one now.
:-(((

I belong to an American hobby site and they have a Craftsman lathes & tools section where all manner of things are to be found . If you can't get what you want in the UK perhaps joining them and asking if someone can obtain them for you at the going price + P&P. might see you sorted .

They can be found at www.hobby-machinist.com/forums/atlas-craftsman remember that the threads will be American so you might need to use the American form of description eg. No 10 or 1 " - 8 tpi sort of thing

Yesterday to be precise.

Been after a conduit die and wrench for a while now.

A hefty sum of £3.50 for the lot.

 

[Ruffian]

Delivered today.
A big box, really well packaged from a fellow forum member. And inside the box is a new to me optrel e684.
Time to compare it to my speedglas and see what I will prefer to keep.

@Badger1bear top bloke.

It will be interesting to hear your thoughts. I tried a Speedglas and although the lens itself was pretty good I could not get on with the lid itself, just too claustrophobic for me. I still thought the E684 was a better lens though but that may just be a personal thing.

 

[Hood]

Oh and hopefully we don't have to wait days for you to try it out like we did with @Badger1bear

 

[brewdexta]

Just under 100 bottles and a 5 gallon keg of summer IPA. Came in about 5%, I was aiming for 4.6%.

Here's my neighbour helping with the bottling. It will be ready in about 3 weeks, but before that we will brew a porter.

I've done the summer IPA in a Grainfather but it came out around 5.5%. I put it into Cornelius kegs and a few bottles.

, I normally split it 50:50 so 2
Cornelius kegs the rest bottled but I have a few parties to go to so I'm bottling most of this one. I make up the recipe based on what malt and hops I have in stock using Beersmith as a style guide. This one is pale, Munich smoked and a bit of wheat malt with fuggles, magnum and citra hops.

See I do love my 9100xx lids and do wear them close to my head also. I have already worn the lid round the house and the optics do look clear but won't tell until I see it with an arc. Unfortunately I don't have any welding planned at the moment but may just go and fire the tig up tomorrow eve just to trial it out.

I did want the crystal 2.0 and would have gotten one but just couldn't stretch that far at the moment.

I have no idea what they are, but you get extra points for using the word “fuggles”

Must be something in the water down that way, the bleeding thing would be getting tested out before it was out of the box if it was mine

I may bring a couple down if its any good. If it rubbish I'll bring it all down

 

[Farside]

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

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

Definitely a rounding hammer for forging. If you ha e no use for it I'd happily take it off your hands

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

Horseshoes makes sense around here, with the number of stables and studs dotted around this area (and I don't mean the local Pat Mustards).

tish tish tish sir I'll have you know I was quelling a revolt by the peasants

 

[Badger1bear]

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

I have no problem when it comes to RC toys buddy The mug is there for scale. LOL

After I blew up Henry at the weekend I was on the hunt for some spares as I couldn't bare to see him broken.
I spied something local on eBay and now have these. Both not working.......


Turns out my Henry is missing a spacer the motor sits on but the one i bought is slightly different! BUT it does have a 1000w motor over my ones 620w one (that'll keep the EU happy!)
The fix on the red Henry was just a broken wire !
Not looked at the wet and dry one yet.
The cost I hear you say?




£1.20

 

[angellonewolf]

if the wet and dry is duff could be intrested in the hose head foe the wet if you got it

 

[tim-ber]

Not the actual ones, just a picture of the same sort off the web
