That one indeed.

Just a bit of a heads up really. These little ALDI tool chests are down to £29.99 at the till. Originally advertised £39.99 then reduced to £34.99. Got a further unexpected five pound reduction (Or "saving" as my wife would say) at the checkout. Took it home, liked it a lot for the money and went back to get another. Reasonable quality, rubber liners in bottom three drawers, ball bearing slides. Worth it for the convenience of buying locally compared to ordering on line. Plus I might be able to find some more stuff in the garage now.

Today I acquired a hydraulic bead breaker for the tractor/truck rims. Its a lump and a half, dont think my portapower pump is going to hold enough oil and the fitting is massive in comparison

Yes, I bought the first one especially for my lathe tools/accessories.

Just back from this morning’s tootle up Weardale to the Stanhope Show, where in between watching heavy horse displays and drooling over some fabulously restored old cars I picked up this cast iron fire pit, already earmarked by OH for a soon to be decked area behind the summer house. Kept the tat stalls ticking over by purchasing a few more pairs of work gloves and 3 clevis hooks that will form the basis of an industrially rustic hanging bracket in the utility room, to be completed when I can acquire some 1” steam pipe and some elbows. I also talked to a lot of nice folk in stunning countryside, not a bad way to spend a Sunday morning

Just back from the Malvern flea market, which was not busy at all (stall holders moaning) and prices were accordingly competitive (Mrs GT happy and not moaning)

Picked up the following:



4oz ball pein hammer, nice de-burring tool made from a 57/64” Dormer drill, panel beating hammer and 6 Practical Motorist magazines from April - September 1958 inclusive.

All for £9.

The 1024 boxes are quite good. if you take the screw cutting plate off the box you can see inside to adjust the parts and make it easier to graft onto another lathe. the centre selector does get tight and seize up and need to be adjusted.

Good to know it wasn't a bad buy.

Fingers crossed I can make it work.
The mk1.5 model m had one grafted on and looked very similar.

 

[SteScouse]

Stone patio stand friend was throwing away

Grabbed it as very flat. Cant see any gap or light no matter where you check on the bottom surface.

Dare say no where near engineering granite plates but for what I'll do more than good enough

That's an Indian Karahi (Steel Wok) bastardised into a fire pit

And much more useful as the former

Bought on ebay. Milling cutters have been used. Most of the centre drills are new as are the countersinks.

Only paid £2.70 as the auction finished early in the day. Seller would only post by Royal Mail (£13 for 2kg) but still a bargain

No stabbings took place thankfully

Yet.

 

[eLuSiVeMiTe]

I'm having real trouble not clicking buy and aquiring the beginnings of a modular synth.

Unlike @steviec_lj my wife will stab me.

I'm still trying to talk myself out of it.

I don't have much confidence in myself though.

The block in the middle plus a few nice little modules to go with it.

Not sure as its small. Maybe mt1. Thought it was more for tapered pins.
