Tip Treasures - Been a while ~✅~ UPDATED ♻️ ♻️ ♻️ ♻️ 01/07/2023

I've got a pair of those "bent" pliers somewhere (jhand down from my grandad), I've always assumed they were for pulling out nails or similar.

I'm with sparky I say cobblers too.

Good catch Gus, also again shows, there is gold in them thar hills.

Found this IKEA "Butchers Block" table dumped at my local station in the carpark.....

No wheels, so I cut the long legs shorter....

Perfect for the Fretsaw to stand on when I sit in front of it cutting out kids toys (seems there are a few orders coming through after Rav's Gruffalos Kid toys)



Also found an Oak drawer in Southampton last week when I worked there.... 15mm thick, so hopefully just about the right size for some Poc Poc's



Poc Poc Prototype in Pine.





I do continue to be amazed at what gets thrown out by people claiming "poverty"

can i buy these handles off you Grizz ?
they're the same as ones on me bird's
bedroom drawers and she's missing a couple.

This has to be the smallest ever entry onto this thread.

I did not find it, Nicola found it for me.

She works at a Charity shop some afternoons and as we all know weird stuff does come in.

Last week a load of stuff came in, much of which was turfed out, and she found this little "Steampunk" head for me.

I love it, and being as small as it is, am glad she spotted it in the pile of rubbish and scooped it for me.





I trust and hope you guys are impressed with my wife, well I am.

She has learned from the best in the business.... ;D

Hi PS,

Thanks for the ID.

I am amazed that it was made between 1511-14

That shows again that there is nothing new under the sun.

Google images and Youtube shows it in much more detail.

Another week with lots of little wins.

We are no9 in the road, neighbour at No1 cleared his garage..... and brought around a couple of bits, but also invited me to Skip dive at his place.

I found a whole load of silverware (His deceased mums) some crystal ware and fine bone china, all of which I gave to Nicola for Demelza House, which we support along with a couple of other charities.

I did keep the bits in the pic below, and Nicola kept a massive "wine glass" as a candle holder.

The meters are growing in number as I want to do a "Steam Punk" type setup around the baking oven at the BBQ some time.

To go with the meter you will need some blade switches, white lab coat, an assitant called Igor and lots of sparks and lightening
My latest gains are an oxy propane cutting set, a oxy accetelene welding set, m/t oxy and propane bottles with another propane bottle and trolley on the way, and all freemans
Also am typing this (badly) on a HTC smart phone I bought from a work mate for 40 when the shops seem to be selling similar used for 100/150
