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

[DAPPH]

Weld up a framework for the dryer to bring its door up to her visual level, then store the table saw underneath.

I've already done that and put three 9x2 across the top ,well two inches higher than the washing machine which is on the other side of a dividing partition , the bottom shelf is almost 20 inches from the floor on breeze blocks mortared in & set on a DPC .

This morning as I was assembling the legs frame My lass came out with a cuppa , " Oh I see , you'll store the table saw on top of your welding bench with the leg set turned upside down & put on the table part of the saw ..that's a good idea , why not put some thin ply on the table to protect it from the legs ".

Right she's on side

The enclosed veranda on the log cabin office is looking good for parking it in the longer term if I put the whole saw bench on lockable castors .

 

[DAPPH]

Leave the door open on it and make as much sawdust as you can in there. As often as you can.

I value my goolies , so decline to implement that suggestion Sir . The saw bench has a great little dust extraction encasement system and a long hose that fits our ancient wet/dry Vax . That alone saves me using my wheezing lungs from filtering out the dust .
So two reasons not to do what you say plus I have a rare blood group.

Bloody hell the barbers are different around your way, They used to offer you latex at ours

when I was a kid in the barbers a guy came in and asked for 10 woodbine of the top shelf I thought funny all I can see is little boxes where's the fags

Unless it's an m class extractor there's a good chance it's chucking most of the fine particles back into the air while harvesting the larger.

A half finished trailed log splitter with kubota diesel engine showed up today, just needed finishing off.

With a hole that big in the cylinder head I think its on a one way trip back to the scrap yard

That "Hole " looks very round , is it a blown core plug disc ?

If it is & the engine turns & you get a compression , there's a good chance a core plug blew due to frost or corrosion cause by the wrong antifreeze being used. The seats do clean up and new ,plugs are available . it might not be a scrapper after all .
I once drilled and used a self tapper to remove a leaky core plug seal , scraped the seat area clean , put a new one in in the correct orientation . It still leaked a tiny bit so I bunged two cans of rad weld it in … That cured the problem

Brand new (to me) computer from 2011 To replace my much older one.

From a Core 2 duo system to an i7 2600 and an SSD drive, what a difference. Also replaced the PSU and graphics card with the one from my old PC as they were better.

Looks too irregular [to me] to be that. Aren't they generally on the block, too? [genuine question ]

showed up today

I like how you phrased that, as if it wandered in off the street, unsolicited.

My beloved swears blind that’s how we met .

I always tell her she was damned lucky to get me before all the other women of the world, but my dear old Dad told her she needed a medal as big as a dustbin lid for getting involved with me .

Started sorting a few cantilever boxes and found these. Anyone have an idea what they might be for?
I’m guessing the forging are just left over from someone playing but don’t really know.

ive seen the hooky things somewhere: i just cant think where. unless for concreting into something.

the pincer is a nail puller.
they are *incredibly* useful, but the slide hammer handle part is missing

Beaten to my reply.

The handle may still be in the rest of the box's

 

[The_Yellow_Ardvark]

The rest looks like decorative fake hinge bars from old style doors.

I am guess they are of a flat profile.

 

[brightspark]

I had one of those nail pullers . gave it away. I just punch them in at work and that's only on chipboard floors

 

[eLuSiVeMiTe]

A tidy lathe.
Only did it a few weeks ago.
Nice big box of Ali shavings.

Horrible stuff. Turned beautifully though.

Was getting fed up of brushing chips out of my trainers before leaving the garage.
Now it's clean il do some milling.

Still haven't tested mine.

 

[The_Yellow_Ardvark]

This showed up today.

Yes @slim_boy_fat they all sneaked into my hands, with no bidding by me.

 

[The_Yellow_Ardvark]

In the plastic tray I acquired where the following dull, dull items. Plus a "Shinny."



Metric Allan key holder.
Will be useful on a few work jobs.



A nearly new glass cutter.
"It is dull mate." I was told.
One cutter is, the other 5 are not.




The "Shinny."



Small, old. With a Pusser Arrow, hose nozzle. For a garden hose.

Just the arrow, no date or number.

 

[The_Yellow_Ardvark]

But, apart from the dull stuff was some almost interesting bits.



A "Coal Hammer" There is the remains of a sticker on the shaft, but the details are long gone. Can just make out on it:
"GLAND."
Plus;
"COAL H."

So shaft looks original, need to have a new wedge and a clean up.

A Quarry Man Chipping/ dressing hammer.
It has had a hard life.




Now a days get used to chip mortar from old bricks to reclaim them.



Pitted, rusted, mangle cutting edge.
Loos on the wrong shaft, old glue on the shaft. a screw for a wedge.
Bit of fun ahead.

Finlay.



Record Imp Vice.
Sized, I was told.
Not for long.





Any one now the RAL paint code or the nearest modern paint colour?

 

[The_Yellow_Ardvark]

I almost forgot.
Pair of nail pullers.
That was the reason I "ambled" into the shop. They where in the window for £0:50p.
But I did come away with more.
