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

[The_Yellow_Ardvark]

Today was almost, to quote below.
Apart from many hours driving.

A few toys.


3 candles, yo-yo, multi-tool, Stanley Plane honing guide(another one), Odd screwdriver and a leather pouch with a small set of BA spanners.



A Utility Cabinet key and a "push pin."





Another Paraffin "road side" lamp. But this is the first original green painted one I have acquired.




Brass Charcoal iron. But it needs a lot off attention.
The chimney is holed and there is a crack. Held in by a old repair.

From a good person, to help others. @Chillitt



4 Hold style drills.

Thanks again, I hope the red metal things will be of use.

What’s in that mug?

Turns out it was a strong coffee hiding under white foam.

I’ve got one of these - the tipping feature is brilliant!

Is that punch and rivet set a generic eBay jobbie?

I was looking at those, if you wouldn’t mind will you report back on how good they are

Cheers Parm

Just got around to replacing three poppers and put two new ones in the neck strap, where there was only some useless velcro.
They seem ok, but will have to see how they do in service. They're a size down from the ones in the jacket, so if I were getting more I'd go bigger.
The supplied punches and anvil do the job - not the best of quality but don't show any signs of deformation. I'll grind a couple of flats on the anvil sides to fit better in the vice jaws, as it tends to get driven down with the hammering.

Handy Hint #4 of 206:
When throwing a bike jacket around a workbench to fit pop studs, make sure there's not a half-full tin of white spirit hiding there.

Onion? looks like a full on cabbage Bhaji!.... Not that I can imagaine a cabbage bhaji!

Today I aqquired another job to the job list, Brother bought a number of Ritelite K9 lights (ex army) but the batteries have umm... Swollen, SLAs so not as worrying as LIPO but still a concern, they will be removed and off to the scrappy then a new set installed. For some reason it falls on my lap to do the job rather than his (my degree is Enginnering Product design, his is Eletrical and Electronic Engineering.... surely opening it up is my job but the actual change of batteries is his)

Today I acquired 16 large galvanised steel Tote Pans from work destined for the scrap bin. I have been hooking odd ones out over the past year as the stores bin them, this was a lucky haul thanks our manager upsetting a member of staff by telling him his work area was untidy. Darn, I forgot the photos!!

That’s a wee beastie! One of our local pubs used to do a similar tear and share plate full that were a little bit too moreish and we had three one night.

Today I acquired a large grin. Really is a dream to ride, smooth man,

My Father bought a pair of S8's, he only wanted a gearbox for his Wooler engine! He rode one regularly in the late 70's ansd I did many miles on the back.

For a 65yr old British bike it rides very well, I rode it around locally today for over 40miles, I’m getting used to its idiosyncrasies, foot controls still need muscle memory training

Surprised in the turn if speed, lack of vibration, and comfort. Hopefully I’m going to enjoy riding this bike

Well, technically a couple of days ago, but with a mate being here I've not had a chance to post.

Big thanks to @Parm for sending me a piece of rubberised fabric for making soft 'feet' for the bases of my clocks and other 'project' items to protect buyers' furniture, desks etc. To date I've been using self adhesive felt which was fine if the base(s) were dead flat, but some weren't by their very nature.

This'll mean I'll be able to punch circles of any size and stick then on in 3s to allow for any inclination to 'rock'.

The piece Parm sent will be enough for hundreds I reckon, so all good for quite a while!
