If, and by the look of it you did, you transported that on a large lorry then thank you. It amuses me to see artics and like with a pathetically small load on the back. For example, a 40' flat bed with a single office chair strapped to it. It passes the time on motorways.

It worked out well as there was a few feet of empty trailer behind a portable conveyor I loaded yesterday.

Sadly I lost the photo, but the best one I carried was last year, when I had a weekend at a truckstop near Symonds Yat in the Forest of Dean. I bought a Grumman aluminium canoe, as you would , and brought it home on the back of an otherwise empty 80 ton special Types trailer .

The canal locks were drained for maintenance 200 metres from where I live and £72 worth of coal was sitting at the bottom, no one knows why or how but its now in my coal bunker. I'm sitting by a roaring fire tonight and considering myself a jammy barsteward .View attachment 199315

Jammy indeed but...you'll probably have to dry that out on the fire before it'll burn.

Yep, the bags are full of mud and the coal saturated, its going to be hosed off and dried under cover.

This was left at current job about 3 years ago, I'd go back and grab anything if I leave a job .. must not have paid for it in the first place

Might be quite useful, Pretty interesting for a vacuum IMO. The way it uses the "cones" I would call them to separate debris. looks like the battery is similar to a cordless tool but not the same on all models.

I just got one of these brand new for free, Pifco rechargeable handheld vac , its truly pants and won't pick up even wood ashes. Don't anybody think about buying one

scored a 110v one from sales in good nick 15 quid . got 5 now wifeys kicking off having so many

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

Is that a blade fusing machine bolted to the side ? If so you really have done well if it works , they are worth their weight in gold .

Don't rush to strip it if it does not work . Just clean the ALL the contacts with a spray contacts cleaner and some thin carboard in between the contacts & lube the pivot points with a drop of WD40 in a fine paint brush

 

[martin62]

Yes it has a blade welder/shear/annealer and grinder. I am thinking of running the saw on a VFD so I hope It works

We got one to take abroad for 5 weeks so we could clean up sand & dog hair .. it performs very , well gives about 20 min on full blast , recharge about 40 min . So good our 17 & 1/2 yr old daughter even uses it to clean her bedroom leaving the Dyson animal in the cupboard .

Vfd will power the motor only hopefully 240v for the sake of costs but motor dependant.

Everything else will be designed to run from 3p 440v
Rotary converter might be a better option. Sure someone with more knowledge than me will be along shortly.

Yesterday (should’ve posted last night but I fell asleep!!!) I acquired this barn to convert into a workshop.

I am not having the unit with the sectional door, just the 4 bay open bays with the intention of fitting 3 shutter doors and blocking one up so I can install a personnel door and window.

There is no power in there currently but the landlord will be fitting a consumer units, LED lighting and various sockets after Christmas. All being well I should be in there for Feb/March 2020!

When I worked for myself last time I had a place just a third of this size but the price is the same so I am over the moon to have such a space to build on my current business. Plans are to fit a mezzanine behind the blocked up opening and build an office on it (hence the window), build a bloody big and heavy welding bench for one bay an overhead crane in one bay and a fully open bay to do what ever I need in. I intend on doing my Class 2 licence next year and getting a rigid beaver tail so it’s good to know I’ll have indoor parking too.

A mojor plus is that it is about 1 mile from my house!!!

I am currently renting space off a customer as I keep getting rained off when welding onsite but I can’t wait until I get the chance to call it my own!!

Looks good, all the best with your plans
