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

[Ruffian]

I have unboxed it Mr Ian and its a sloppy thing, way too much slack in just about every way. It will do for what I need which is a lightweight saw to drag about the yard but would not count on it for any degree of accuracy.

Bob

Looks like I'll hold onto my cheapie lidl abrasive saw for a little longer then.
Thanks for letting us know your findings there bud

Back on track. I acquired this yesterday. Been labelling EVRYTHING up today.View attachment 198683

Did you manage to get half a dozen extra rolls of the tape as well ?

 

[The_Yellow_Ardvark]

You'd be singing castrato ...… you ugly duckling sailor .

Have to catch me first.

 

[DAPPH]

He'll use the daughter & a spare vending machine as bait . Catches them every time .

Indeed, with a 2 pin socket under the dash.

1959 ish the early ones didn't have the photo electric cell on off switch , they used to have a pair of croc clips to go on the battery . Think the photo cell came in about 1962
Old Snotty Knotty's son across the road had a bit of a burn up when the live wire shorted against a sharp edge on the bonnet
Funny to realise theirs was the only car on the road out of 35 council houses in the cul de sac for several years .

Circa the same time but a bit earlier about mid November .. PC Scott always a sneaky bstd rode his bike nearly 12 miles from the Billinghay police station in the very early hours of the day , to catch Knotty without a parking light as he'd parked on the road with the flow of traffic . The summons was found on the car just turned six in the morning when Mick was about to go to work in the car .

A nice heavy adjustable angle plate, wanted one for a while now but when they come up they are normally miles away up country, this one was pretty local to me. For 63 quid I didnt think that was to bad a price, Its good and heavy about 65 ish kilos its been outside a while

Tidy.

Mines a wee bit smaller but won it for a score.

Lower shelf looks to be an add on.

Nice the guy also have fixed angle plate for sale but for some reason the corner parts had been milled out so I left it alone

Not today but finally took it out of the box today. It’s a cheap one but it’s for outside use nice 200mm jaws and 200mm opening very little slack and feels nice .
made a bracket to be able to put up and take down quickly so it’s not left in the rain

Something in a Jones and Shipman box - yes, a lh parting off toolholder. Comes with a blade too, very nice for $20.

A thick head from over-indulging last night.

Which also resulted in a "What do you expect, going out drinking without a responsible adult??" text from OH.

Wasn't what I thought I'd bought.

I'd looked at some many dual dowlers I saw an ex demo and clicked buy.

Should have been one of these.

The reviews are not great.
It's only sprung one side causing binding and too strong a spring. needs a new viewing window made as the line is far too thick but for 130 compared to 900 for a mafel it's worth taking the time to fettle for the low use it will get.
Will also machine holes for sprung locating dowels for easy referencing.

Better wait a few weeks before ordering as I just bought a biscuit cutter.

As if by magic, Rutland just emailed a one day offer for a cheep Biscuit Jointer if anyone else wants one.

I like the art work on the bed , designed over a weekend in a alcoholic haze & done on the Monday morning ?

It's worse than it looked.
Can't complain. Paid 170 for the large size ring Fu mill drill
It's on my fix list. Problem is the list keeps growing

Got given this today from a old bloke at work. I asked him a few times before if he wanted to sell it. Today he said I should get my van over and he'll give me a lift with it. Wouldn't take anything for it. Chuffed

That looks like a brooks, 2 1/2 cwt, and in good nick too. Very jealous!

 

[martin62]

Not today but yesterday picked this up for not much more than the Aldi/Lidl offering.

 

[Olderisbetter]

Today i got the thumbs up from the man that came out on behalf of the DVLA to check my 56 beetle was a complete car with all the correct numbers on it and that means in 7 to 10 days it should be given an age related number and be all good for the UK roads, subject to a rebuild that is lol

To me that's crying out to be a pizza oven, but I am a bit of a pizza oven fan

Too small for actual cooking surfaces I think, lining maybe? Will have to have a better look at what I’ve got when I’m at home.
