Brass lamp was saved.

I am in a recycling center.
Unescorted.
This could be fun.
I certainly will not get distracted and loose focus that I am working. Not looking.
Oh. I wonder what's in.........

I was successful.

He should have rubbed the lamp three times and made a wish.

A few nice finds at Sundays boot sale, Genuine EDL angle lamp, virtually pristine nick, still with the makers label. And a Whitney punch (copy) brand new, Have you seen what the so called designers are charging for these lamps?

 

[gordon stephenson]

One further find from the same boot sale, All boxed and as new, even couple of extra hand held jigs and special drills thrown in. Everything in these two posts cost me the princely sum of £22-00, Was I robbed,

 

[dobbslc]

You can pack your mask & stripey jumper away until the next sale.

Oh I forgot to show off the lamp I got the other day;




Binned because the head was hanging off, two minutes and one circlip later and it's good as new. The top two thirds of the thin section are a stiff gooseneck and it's bloody bright, perfect for the workshop. The lens was clear until I cleaned it with acetone.

I have the same lamp in grey, and quite a bit battered over my Boxford,

Nice acquisition Easy enough to make another lens.

A nice stainless table. Now I need to find 5 foot of spare wall to put it against.. Here seen in the background, behind a bike that hasn't run in 12 years that I just persuaded to start.

I was successful.

I did not get anything.

I had to ring the office to get a "Booking number", they reminded me that I was not allowed to liberate anything. If I did it would be classed as theft.

This site will charge for some items to be dumbed. But it also recycles a lot.

But some of the stuff being dumped was shocking.

I saw.
2 sets of golf clubs, in bags being dumped.
Almost new petrol lawn mower.
4 china dinar sets.
Wood. good selections of hardwood.

It was shocking.

So I went for a coffee and was made a bit poorer.

The staff in WSM would have issues concentrating on TV. Let alone reading a computer based forum.

I have been checking the scrap bin at work regularly as the stores keep throwing Tote pans away. I found this today and thought it would provide spares for the two at home, turned out to be an easy fix.

Ball bearing non return valve inside the spring! I despair.

I miss raiding the scrap bin
