[The_Yellow_Ardvark]

Small Fry stuff here. One will have me hunting the Internet for details.


House clearance shop/ junk shop or They have no idea what is kicking around shop, in Bristol.



Wire Brushes, 2 sets of side cutters and a hammer. £8.
I know what make they are, but they will do a turn fo0r what I need.



Old fashioned Toy shop, I never had a chance to go in, as parking the works van is a pain. Today 3 spaces so I could slip the van in.

Mamod spares. All new old stock. All but the Oil Bottle, that came from Newbury . But I lost the original label.




A Davey Lamp. Poor condition, but complete.

Does it work?



Yes it does.

no generic, but i think thats so cheap
a few years ago you could only dream of stuff like this .
i suppose it will turn full circle soon and we could be enjoying the same economic boom as china ,with all its benefits ,save up for yeaes for a bicycle etc

Today I acquired photos of all the tooling that comes with the 4 axis lathe. Hate to think what that all cost. 10” hydraulic chuck. Hydraulic collet chuck with 46 collets. A vast array of driven tooling. Most of those driven tooling holders would have been over £1500 each. Collection of lathe Saturday week....

This lovely 4lb Elwell axe head. It was on for $15 but I asked if they could cut the handle off as I only wanted the head, so they did it for $10. I was given a new, unused but long term stored axe handle a few months back, so this is going to be perfect for that.

A barford bug powered wheelbarrow - it's scarily uncontrollable but looks just the job for what I need to do.

From a ship’s chandlers in Milford Haven just now.




Admiralty chart for the Gower Peninsula, as I’ve fallen in love again with this part of the country and might get back for a few days’ scuba diving in September, a couple of shiny carabiners, coz us divers can never have too many , 2 lengths of gorgeously soft 3 strand rope for painters for my canoe, and a fid for splicing eyes in them.

And had an impromptu lesson in eye splicing from an old boy in the shop as well. I can do it but it never looks right, so this was one of those serendipitous moments .

Nice find!

Are those 4 x 'XXXX's to the left of the "Made in England" in the first pic? [I'm thinking maybe it passed through OZ on it's way to NZ ]

Some naughty person before me has gripped this in a vice for some unknown reason.

Some filing will be required. I’ll grind and polish this a little bit before I put the shaft on it.

Good haul today,
Visited the works garage for one of the vans and was allowed to rummage in the scrap pile, happy days.

12 tonne weber hydraulik jack - topped up the oil and now works a treat



Jack leg from an MEWP - For a hydraulic press I am planning



Hydraulic power pack for a tipper van - condition unknown

Got a new Makita 5" grinder. 1450W, so not short on power. I wanted a "compact" grinder in the design of the 9" grinders.

My grandad showed me how to do them he said if they don't look good put them on the floor and roll the splice under your foot. It works too.

 

[slim_boy_fat]

From the 'Bay of everything, another grinder [I've stopped now, honest ] £8.50 + £5 p&p



Box is marked £49.99 [ Google seems to think that'd be about right ], reduced to £39.99, mine for a lot less.
