"Going like the clappers" The clappers are the wooden valves in bellows

I had to get it out of an old barn full of rats and fleas, the rats and filled up the inside of the hollow part with hay and rag, I had to borrow my friends waggon to pull the trailer but it had been sitting for a very long time and got stuck in low range and then the transfer cace got stuck in neutral and then it wouldn't go up a big hill because the airfilter was totally plugged but got home in the end

Got this old drill press in a local auction, it was a bit sad, its an Arrel made in england, the quill had a few teeth broken off it because a bolt head jammed into them witch had fallen in, next I will get flatbelts made and it should be good, motor works well but is 3 phase so I will get a VFD, they work well, the part of the world I am in I have 240v in every room of the house.

My hammer will get oil on the brake easy when it runs out of the shaft, I have to give it a wipe every 30 mins before it reaches the brake, when I am finished with it I jam a rag where the drip comes from, brake cleaner is good for getting the oil off the asbestos

A guy who replaces the bricks at the crematorium offered me a drum full of knee and hip replacements and pins and plates that were dug out if the ash pit.

You could fire the desert eagle one handed but probably pistol wip your self

A flint lock takes 2 hands to operate

Is your leg all good now?

See Frosty the gun slinging attitude is alive and well

I have not been able to get this welder to work, the AC motor is about 3kw or more, my 11KW VFD will run it but as soon as you strike an arc the VFD shuts down. The rotory phase converter just stalls when an arc is struck, super annoying as I allways wanted a lincoln DC welder, I was thinking about converting it to run off a petrol engine.

Had to escape to the wife's folks place in japan.

Finally got new half nuts feed, its an Atlas long bed made for the export market outside the usa.

I got given a whole lot of titanium bar the other day, not sure what to do with it

Good the rod worked out, we had an aftermarket crank pin fail the other day, got another made and it was 2.5K NZD, bike should have been at the pukehoe festival.

Bet no one knows where I am lol
