neighbours just sold his boy racer car and had stripped all the audio out of it. he threw it outside and left it in the rain, i saw it today and asked if i could have it. the sub, unfortunatly, is all that survived. i told him next time just lob it at me, no point in letting it go to waste!

Had some stuff like that years ago , left it in a dry room well off the floor for three weeks then tried it out , everything worked .. suspect not switching anything on thus not causing over loads and degradation gave it time to dry out slowly .

The wall chaser I bought let the magic smoke out today. Took advantage of the brilliant screwfix returns policy and swapped it for a new one. Let's see how this one lasts

Today was a trip down to local scrap yard, Managed to get some great bits of steel for my a few projects.

Might seem like nothing to most people but this is really nice stock with length so i can cut it down to correct sizes unlike most of my tiny offcuts.

Dont know why the pictures are so big but 30cm steel rule for scale. And the hard job of fitting it into the car.

15 Quid cash is all it cost. At scrap price of 35p per kilo

Put up a door bell push the other day for a neighbour, took 15 or 20 mins. He said halfway through he had a few old tools for me. Anyway tonight i came in and these were here for me. A Black and Decker sander and a Parkside, with a long homemade extension lead. The Parkside one is a whopper, massive, the B&D one is the same as the one i had before and got years out of it.

Scored a set of Draper deep impact sockets, just because.
I was going to get a set of cheapy ones, but it turned out by the time I'd paid postage the cheap ones would be the same overall cost anyway.
Not bothered either way, as I found none of the hokey cheap shorty sockets that come with the dagga guns have ever broken, so I suspect what little quality there is in them is bolstered by the thickness.

I have one of those parkside sanders & it's great on horizontal surfaces due to its weight but not so nice on vertical stuff! Take care when using it, when you push down the front handle it speeds up!

A few lengths of “engineered oak” t+g floorboards that were destined for the skip, courtesy of the nice man who owns the house where I’m currently lifting some gorgeous oak trusses in place for his new extension. A couple of the short lengths are earmarked for a platform on the truck to hold a freshwater tank, and the rest have “very nice shelves” written all over them .



And a humouros chorus of “Ooh, get you!” from the installation gang when I made a couple of slices of toast .

Forgive me credit card, I have sinned , £41 from the good ole U.S of A. 70’s retro trucking stuff inspired by the legend that is Kris Kristofferson .

Some kind of screw press types device. It needs freeing up then I’ll see if I can find a use for it.

Any ideas on what it would have been for originally?

No idea, but it looks to be missing some bits.

Hard to get an idea of the size from the photos, but a spring compressor maybe ?
