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

[Sammy7]

A new (to me) precision, adjustable spanner via @lchris21 from used equipment forum. It’s brand new, struggled a bit on rusty m16 bolt but a cheater bar would have made it easy. Added benefit was the accurate read out of the exact distance across the flats

 

[Sammy7]

Definitely an improvement on my previous precision adjustable which was limited to 25mm / 1” AF

A surface grinder, been under a tarpaulin for 10 years. The bellows are intact so under the grime there's quite a nice machine. Ignore the half-stripped state, the only thing I can find is missing is the reflector for the lo-volt lamp.

Needless to say you won't recognise it as the same machine by the time I've done with it.

I have a slightly cleaner/working one of those in the workshop...

You're the 'one other guy' who called on it? I was shocked when he said he only had 2 calls. Apparently I happened to check the site right after he listed it.

That would be me, technically I didn’t *need* it, as I’ve the J&S sat under a tarp, but the price was right

Glad it’s gone to a good home in all honesty

“Unicol “ now there’s a word I haven’t heard in many a year! Audio visual installations?

Yep, and if you know an alternative use for Unicol poles I would be interested. Don't say exhausts, I know someone who made a straight through for his Hyundai Coupe from them, not good.

Thats funny it used to be able to undo M16 bolts all the time, especially with a club hammer to help it

Your sorely mistaken. Everybody knows that’s not an adjustable spanner.

..... Set it to 21,5mm for the best precision bottle opener money can buy

 

[mtt.tr]

We surely can, I have a whole load of projects to bring along this month and this'll be one of them. Just FYI it's a Mk3 Eagle grinder with coolant trough and 8" wheelhead.

Mines a decent machine, one owner from new hardly any wear. Picked up an eclipse 18"x6" magnetic chuck yesterday only went to pickup a compressor

fluke t140 voltage detector and a kewtech "bladerunner" swa stripper.



£10 for these and a "no name" ratchet crimp:

The week I change from tubes to LED fittings.
I get given a box of starters.

Note to self: Stop ignoring previous notes to self...




Tebay services, yet again .

Nope, used to end up with a massive pile of offcuts, used to try and recycle them but every mount always seemed to come with a 2m pole!

The rod bites well into wooden shelving and makes a dandy upright holder for a table lamp.

The rest of us didn't bother after we found out you had dibs on it

These from someones link the other day.

I fashioned a cone to guide the gases into the silencer (actually, it was a cone from the Hardle guts that I'd thrown out), migged it into place and stuffed a couple of stainless steel pot scourers in the space.

Sounds much better, but need to see if the annoying blat is gone on the road.

I can report it's much improved, with the annoying blat almost totally gone, as well as a more progressive feel to the individual raspy noises. Overall, a nicer system to live with. Now to get on with tuning the SU properly.

Took a punt on a cheap and cheerful Chinese wind deflector, as the screen is just a couple of inches too short.

It's not bad for quality, far exceeding what I expected for the price. Time will tell how well it holds up to being banged about by the wind, though.

Turns out it's just a bit tall, but they're so cheap it's not worth messing around trying to cut that and run the risk of busting it, so I just ordered another one that's about 30mm shorter.

Not yet acquired but secured. Oh dear!

 

[123hotchef]

Not acquired today but removed from the Mrs car. Thanks @Milkybars

 

[mtt.tr]

Unsurprisingly got the Chuck in first. Needs dusting off

Then wrestled the compressor, chap on the yard helped



Apparently 68-72db

Not so much acquired more installed... 7mtrs of chimney flue, threaded down the chimney to socket into a pipe from the stove. Reason for this was if we burnt damp wood it would condense on the inside of the stack and then ‘bleed’ through the wall eps up stairs in the bedroom..

I should have fitted a liner when I originally fitted the fire, but others told me different. So a bit of forward thinking, I made sure I could retro fit a liner without disturbing the chimney breast in the living room.

I’m please to say it worked. Well chuffed. Really well chuffed
