Check out " countryside-sales (508) " on the Bay. They have 60 ltr. blue plastic barrels for £14.99 including delivery.

Apparently the aluminium canoe made a bid for freedom during the high winds on Thursday night, and made a hellish row on its journey around the front yard. According to a seriously terse text I got from OH, (ironically while I was sat on the M6 at Carlisle due to a wagon that had blown over...), if I don't fasten it down, she'll "... cut the ******* thing up with YOUR angle grinder, and after that I'll cut your b*****s off!!!" ....................

My canoe solution, but I have to remember to relocate it before I install the ceiling.

Yesterday, I called up the farmers' store and asked them to drop over a bag of dog food.
I also asked them to send over one of the plastic 60L drums they have lying around, as a rodent-proof container for said dogfood.
When I ventured out this morning, they'd been and gone, and (not complaing) they'd been prompt and done me a favour.
However, instead of one of these...

Excellent! I've been trying to find these locally for ages, but never looked in the right place.
Turns out they were under my nose all the time.

Have a 25l one of those. Cost me about 30 quid iirc

Problem is you have to spend £500+ in dog food to fill it, other wise you are scratting about in the bottom chasing 20kg.

Need a giant bubblegum dispenser type arrangement to fire out a portion from the bottom.

I’ve often wondered about some thing like that, but built into a kitchen cupboard.

You watch how quick the dogs learn to activate and get their own portion out

I picked this lot up from Kempton today, the hacksaw is very nice and solid it's made by Leyris "MADE IN ENGLAND". Anyone heard of them????View attachment 202997

The "pincers" are Knipex and I'm pretty sure are for crimping 'O' clamps onto pipe.

A real metal Surform to replace the one I'll obviously find again tomorrow now I've bought this!
A 12mm spanner made in USA! Didn't think they knew how to do foreign stuff!
And finally a 19mm Halfords ratchet spanner, I didn't realize it was a ratchet type for a minute as it's much thinner than my others!
I spent as much on a crappy hot dog and tea as I did on this lot!

Not a bad day out and I didn't nearly buy a Moto Morrini 3 1/2 or a Tigcraft / Yamaha Sound of Singles racer or some monster spine snapping twin shock MX bike.....

I think those are knipex o-clip pliers! Do they have a cutting blade on one side as well as the end? This is to do clips where side access is restricted. Used to have a pair & they are one of the tools I didn't liberate from my work toolbox when the place closed down. Really kicking myself now as they were awesome.

Believe it or not rodents still get into those 60L drums after a while.

Beaten to it.

But as above, those plastic containers aren’t rodent proof.

Any photos?
Of the latest lathe obviously!

I have a vast collection of photography

They don't have a cutting edge on them but I have plenty of Knipex cutters for that!

Say no more really, other than that’s Mr Jaypups with the tree, that daddy had to dig up as he hasn’t passed his Spade Operations PHD yet apparently..

Oh, and that’s Bacon face with 11, 48hour old Lab pups. The place she’s stood is a Christmas gift in itself, as she’s petrified of all animals for some reason..

 

[dobbslc]

Jaypups & Bacon Face.

They can indeed. I’m investigating an accident which involved manufacture of rodent proof (metal) container. The previous ones were plastic drums, chewed up properly by rats

Think you would have difficulty trashing one of the short stumpy French can openers ..even the French can't wreck them , ours is 20 yrs old , see this eBay # 372651668433
