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

[Moose McAlpine]

Following someone's post here a while back, I bought a pack of [iirc] 4" wide ones and cut them to make narrow ones for the power file.

I'm still using them, but it took a while so I'd not do it again......

I got some nice Klingspor ones quite cheap off ebay recently.

What brand of belts did you get?? Are half decent as some of the ones I have gotten in the past are just shocking.



It looks like Sarah Michelle gellar as buffy the vampire slayer. If it is then I approve

It is Sarah! I've had that poster for years. I'd also like one of "Evil Willow"

Willow was very sweet as well.

Alyson Hannigan, aka Willow. Mmmmm.

 

[Yamhon]

I was a big BTVS fan when I was younger. Loved that show and Willow's evolution from timid schoolgirl to total badass was really good.

Evil Willow.... Gosh....

@dobbslc , Buffy, Sarah Michelle Gellar, yeah I'm right there with you.

A mate of mine once said he's waiting for her career to go pear shaped so she 'could pursue some other form of filming', I'll leave it at that.

I think it may have for that poster.....am I the only one with decent eyesight? I'll leave it at that.....

Today I acquired a bit of history! A McDonald aluminium hard hat from the 1960's
A bargain for £6!View attachment 190023

Would that not be an aluuuminum hard hat?

 

[Turbo]

Not tried them yet, the ones I had in the draw fell to bits so I thought I would try a multi pack of different grades and see how I get on.

I have tried many makes but I always go back to this guy on ebay.

https://www.ebay.co.uk/str/abrasivexpertjohnt1102

Top quality belts & very competitive price wise. The blue ones last for ages even on steel. Great to deal with & if he doesn't list the size or grit you want send him a message & he'll usually sort you out.

Am I missing something?

Moving on.......

And then, this one time at band camp...

 

[Cuthy246]

Nice little scroll saw.

B R Perris of Norwich. Must have been a kit as he used to make lathe kits. Not found much info on this scroll saw at all.

 

[dobbslc]

And then, this one time at band camp...

There's always one!
Anyway I'm off to my music lesson, it's on the flute

 

[Moose McAlpine]

Another grinder. Vibration-reducing 9" Bosch.



Made in Mother Russia!

 

[Yamhon]

I've acquired some convex flat bar; is there any structural/engineering reason why I couldn't use it in the place of regular flat bar which I've ran out of, in cases where I only need the one flat face?
