Only just bought a multi tool this year and wish I’d done so years ago, really handy to have.

Brass lamp was saved.

I was not joking.
I did save the brass blow lamp.



Looks like a normal cardboard box.

But I had seen the other side.



See, I was right.



Working blow lamp, 3 "pickers". I did the decent thing to the gentle man and gave him a £5.

I've been thinking about getting one for a while now, handy thing to have.

I brought a Bosch one for one job, about 5 years ago.

Not as complete as @Wozzaaah, just the basic.

It has been used for many now.Such a versatile tool.
As others have said,
Should of got one years ago.

No money was exchanged.


I have more stuff of use.
Or Dust magnets as Mrs TYA calls them.



"2 Harris Paint Brushes.
Long nose pliers, not to be confused with a dangerous weapon.
Stanley screwdriver.
Small adjustable.
Love heart, yes I am worried.

Green Back means well.

The contents of the tin.


I know he would of spent an age in the charity shops finding the bits, I also know his money will not go far.
Only lawyers win in a divorce, when young humans are involved.

I should not moan, The blow lamp will be fun to try and get going.

Or 1" hose for water...we used them for sprinklers etc

Nice acquisition Easy enough to make another lens.

I drilled a square of uv resistant clear plastic at each corner put double sided sticky tape on one side and carefully screwed & stuck it to a bit of thick ply to which I'd put a sunken coach bolt in the middle with a flat washer & six nuts on the other side, tightened the first nut up a bot so it gripped well in the ply & slipped it in the lathe and turned out a very accurate lens using a fine thread cutting tool at almost 90 degrees to the chuck . It was so good I used the same principle to make another three lenses .
Getting the double sided sticky tape off the completed lens was a tad awkward till I warmed it up in hand hot water , then managed to roll off much of the tape then carefully rubbed the remainder off with a bit of old soft towel well wetted with WD40 .


I tried to make it without using the double sided sticky tape idea and at the point of break through the lens caught up on the cutting tool and developed a large crack .

I know it as a Geka fitting, I used them to get a bit more flow from a waterbutt last year.
