I buy Lidl zip ties for roughly 10 euros they give you enough of them in many sizes to last for a while

I got a small puppet, to photograph every now and then.
Here it is with my new drill chuck, I think it was for sale because the adapter was stuck in.
Heating the rod definately helped getting it out.
I noticed the b16 cone is the same taper as the morsecone?

A profile finding gauge from Amazon
I wanted to check if Goodyear Eagle tyres VS Hankook tyres on my S600 had a more rounded corner. They did which may help a very small arch rubbing issue on the very square Hankook tyre profile.
Note, below was first set exactly to a Hankook tyre then moved to this rim to see how the Goodyear compared.

Was having a look around, an antique shop, with the wife earlier, when I spotted this adjustable. First thought was, there is an old Bacho. Picked it up to discover it was a , Britool. Also marked, made in Sweden. I am assuming, Bacho, made them for Britool
Can anyone confirm this? @winchman , @Dieselman 63

I believe this Company in India had a lot of help from Bacho to set up manufacturing https://www.tapariatools.com/adjustable_spanners.html

Went to My friends to look at a Bridgeport he has offered me and hes clearing hi workshop so said take these before the go in the metal skip ! He's all CNC now so hasnt used them in years
the big one is 18" the small one is 12" niether have been used for many years but move freely, dividing head nothing special but ive wanted one for a while
the big one is probably going to end up as a rotary welding table
he also said dive in the skip for any metal you want so i was a blur at that point !
glad i popped in for a cuppa

Not today, last week I recieved a letter from the Coucil Planning Dept, some lovely person has made a complaint that I'm using my lockup to run a business
Had it for 4yrs, have spent many many hours sorting out the garage and land so it's useable but at best only 20hrs doing non site improvement work
Site meeting with the Planning Officer tomorrow to discuss
Hope it goes well!

I used to have a Tapira & it was a very well made wrench.
Hope you bought him a beer! Few quids worth there.

Sometimes the mind boggles. Bought from Dave the scrap man yesterday for the pricely sum of £50. Somebody had weighed it in and he didn’t have the heart to throw it in the cast iron pile so he visited me instead. Perfect working order. Very light use. Will clean up nicely
6” Center height. Chuck looks like new, no cutter rash!

Check the size of the plates ..I have some orphans available
I think that one of Johnny's has a 2-sided plate. might even have a compounder.
I got one quite similar to it last week given to me, without the chuck. I couldn't use one that size so I passed it on, that had a 2-sided plate too.

It is indeed a double sided plate and it does have a compounder

Quick clean with Wd40 and a rag shows it to be in excellent condition. Couple of little things to sort out , like the broken screw and missing eyebolt and it will be fit for service. All I need to find, or make is an adjustable 6” centre tailstock

American 120V christmas lighting. I don't like the options we have in stores here in europe, except some of the vintage stuff. I really like the classic american C9 colored bulbs though.
These are actual incandescent lights, didn't think they made those anymore. I will run these off my variac so the voltage difference isn't a problem. I will see how low voltage I can run them on, don't like too strong christmas lights either, they should be quite mild, but colored. I swear ours is the only house with colors, everyone else goes plain white.
I'll probably replace them over time with LEDs as they break.
