None of you blokes have mention anything you scored, bought or swapped although I see in photo's tools in hand and Pat and Paul deep in discussion over a box?
No sign of wood pile.
No sign of anything fellows had made
Oh hang on Fletty did have an empty bottle of red in hand didn't he.

Jeez, did you only buy stuff from me? You can definitely come again. Adam can come again too - it's not often (may never have happened) that he leaves here without some tools (paid for or not, mine or not). He doesn't come around nearly often enough though:D.Quote:

Btw, did you see that large grey bin that had the wire racks in it? It has a similar lip at the back, and I reckon you could hang that off the second bottom row of the wall plate for rags, rubbish, or whatever.

PS - Now I'm really in for some stick.......
I thought they were great too Crowie.
There was much treasure to choose from on Sunday. Pat brought about half his shed along, Brett had a massive clean out and Pac Man produced a huge box of give aways.
I got a large leather chisel roll off Pat as well as a saw vice (which I forgot to pick up and Pat had to wrestle Ozhunter to rescue it for me :D Thanks Pat )
I also got some holt melt glue and a Rabone folding wooden rule (for miniarcher) from Brett and a freebie systainer which I haven't decided what I will use it for yet.
I'm still debating whether I need Adam's cutting gauge. I reckon he left it at Brett's just to tempt me. (Don't tell him but his plan is working:doh:) Although I'll need a discount now that the box got wet :;
My apologies go to you NCA. I get really distracted and cant finish sentences when a garage sale fresh 604 1/2 Bedrock with a berg blade gets pulled out with in a 2m radius.
No joy at Springwood in case you were wondering
Ha, I knew it. :UQuote:

S'ok, the box is dry again. Same low, low price.Quote:

By the way, what was the attraction to the rather popular glue sticks? They were clearly the right price:U because by around 11.30 I had to go and claim my own 10, but there seemed to be something else?
Was it the length, which I don't think is available in general hardwares stores?
Were all the purchasers turners, or specifically pen turners?
I bought 10 because I didn't have change for the Rabone rule :D I'm sure they will come in handy. :shrug:
Yeah, they will, hence why I kept some. You don't necessarily need a hot gun though (although generally the best way).Quote:

If you get them to me I can get them to save posting themQuote:

So, I reckon it would make pretty good storage for tools, waxes, etc as it would keep the humidity and dust out as well as having some insulation in a hot shed. Mind you, it may be able to be fairly easily fixed so that it actually works as a freezer (which it did a very good at).
Dimensions about 1500 x 500 x 500, bottom drawer is short depth to allow for the motor.
If anyone wants it before I put it out for thesca"recyclers" then let me know asap.
