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

[Screwdriver]

I’d give that a very light clean up and wipe over with oily rag.

Place in front room and admire every day

I would probably do something like this: https://www.mig-welding.co.uk/forum/threads/fox-universal-trimmer.57975/

(skip to the end )

Wait, what? Where's all the finished pics. I need to find the other thread about this thing.

Hmm, not this one either: #1611

Dribs and drabs. There's a whole thread on this thing somewhere, not this one either : #68

 

[God mode restorations]

I can help ya out fizzy. Have just the thing to sit next to your folder....

 

[galooph]

Some light reading

 

[fizzy]

Their factory is still there - not looking too clever - I hope it gets restored not bulldozed!

 

[Screwdriver]

Well I had a proper look at it and I kinda like it! I does have a luxurious feel to it. Cross between a linen and thick vellum. It is metallised so it also has a lustre to it, almost dare I say it a chatoyance.

I'll probably stick it in the bog.

Never seen anything like it.

By my calculations, that's £2k right there!

I hope there really is 5m on that roll, just need to work out if it really will fit anywhere sensibly. It's not as if I can pop down to Wickes and pick up another.

Get a contrasting colour and use that for a statement, behind a bed or the throne etc

 

[angellonewolf]

wall paper ? looks to good for that

vinyl for all the new mechines instead of painting

 

[pcwizme]

or use it to cover a number of books, the important ones. Like we used to have to do at school with out text books

Blurb on the website reckons it is fireproof. I could work that into the design

Thing is though, thanks to @HughF I now have a working laptop (bottom left of the picture) which will drive the engraver (also pictured) but more interestingly the Vinyl cutter. The Vinyl cutter will make a lovely job of cutting whatever shape I like out of that paper if I wanted to say clad some smaller items with chintz. I think it probably works best at larger scales but I should either find a use for it or lob it back into the skip from whence it came. That should be my new years resolution because I acquired a fair bit more stuff out of that skip, including these:

Who would bung those out!

Me!! try leaning back on them with a Fosters in your hand and watch the rear legs buckle

You mean balancing on the two rear legs? Like a child might do...

Acquired one of these just now. It’s got all the cooked delicacies available in the shop

eBay sale?

Vintage, retro, antique?

At the risk of posting a response exactly off topic I am fairly confident I have just de-acquired (!) that motorcycle I thought I had definitely sold. Despite two weeks of being messed about by the buyer (which paradoxically led me to this very skip one Saturday morning) he appears to have "come through" and is collecting and therefore paying on Friday. Whoopee! Means I probably get to keep the engraver and I actually don't need to sell any more bits and bobs for a while. Instead I can crack on and do some making.

Nothing wrong with the chairs.

OBVIOUSLY it’s the wrong choice of Lager

Mr Roofman I had you in a better place with your choice of alcoholic beverage!!!!

 

[Screwdriver]

Damn that does look tasty.

A very very old sheet metal bender.
Bloke managed to get it on a pallet for me. Arrived today safe and sound but too dark to see it properly. Looks like it will need quite a bit of fettling

I don't know what that circular ratchet is for - not connected to anything.

Here it is before palletising.View attachment 207882

Very nice! If you can avoid don't lift by the cross bars like the vendor has done as they are only there to keep the legs straight and bend, which then puts a strain on the top of the legs where they meet the cross table. My old one had fractured here which I reckon was from lifting it this way.

I used a couple of strops on the cross table at the ends and a engine hoist/tractor to move, they are bloomin heavy

Cheers,

MM

@Olderisbetter what's your plans with that load?

I am building a big media wall which is made from 2 layers of 19mm MDF and the 38mm x 19mm timber is the face strip to give it a decent finish and make it resistant to damage and the bigger stuff is to make shelves in my pantry in the new kitchen, I also have a shop i rent out coming empty in a few weeks and i want to do some work on it.
This is my small media wall in my man cave flat part of my house.
