A set of Brown and Sharpe angle blocks.

A Batty dial gauge.

A very cheap dual sided stone.

And lastly a pair of 8" Mitutoyo calipers.
Oh plus a couple of Eclipse scribes.

How flippin' big is your home workshop?!

Today I bought a mistake.
This is after an auction listing cockup which saw a Myford ML7 which was supposed to wait til the end go for £170 ex vat (I think the people waiting with seeious money had gone for a walk to pass the time)

Anyway I ended up bidding on the wrong 3 trays of stuff so now I have to work out what to do with it as most of it is too big for my little lathe. If anyones interested in anything PM me before I eBay stuff to get my money back XD
Tooling is 16mm and 20mm square.
Possibley a ML7 fixed steady (whats it worth anyone? That'll go on eBay if it looks like I can make a profit to cover my annoyance)
Fancy German DTI, same as above, no idea of value.

The last package from john.
Sad few days.
Hats of to the Police and DHL for sorting it.

GPO Ratchet screwdriver.



It looks and feels like the head was used as a hammer.


Stanley No. 5.
Spot what is missing.



Woden No. 5 Plane.



Complete, but the blades is nearly at the end of its life.

They will be restored and put back to use.
Those who know will understand why.

If schools are just going to scrap stuff like that they should give them to the PTA to eBay/sell. At least the funds made will be put to good use.
Did this with a few brands worth of pool heater last year. They wanted me to scrap it

It's the bloody lawyers and the chicken-livered administrators responsible for it. All kicked off by the compo culture, of course.
