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

[ronan]

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!

Any idea who sells the sanding discs ?

 

[Tupers]

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

Its only about 55cm tall, you’d get a motorcycle spring in it but probably nothing for a car.

Posh kind of handle for a workshop device.
I'm inclined to think it might be something in the printing or bookbinding trade, or something where a greasy tool would not be welcome.

On my travels today I went to see my old mate @julianthegypsy, haven’t seen him for a year or two. He’s got a neat little workshop in the Cotswolds and makes a crackling line of specialist products, too modest to post up his work

Anyway I acquired two things, a good chat with an old mate, sorry I couldn’t stay longer fella, stroppy teenagers had to go to the shops

And I acquired this

A miniature bench top anvil, thanks very much @julianthegypsy

They're standard 6" velcro perforated sanding discs, available from any decent abrasive stockist.

Is the saw any good or does it cut as straight as Boy George?

It would be a Gary Glitter if it never cut straight, will unbox it today and put you all out of your misery

I'd be rather concerned if your saw was a children's experience enhancing enthusiast
