My local boot sale is usually full of the sort of tat you would'nt buy from new so I was pleased with todays haul of Victorian treasure for the princely sum of £5.50. Five nice moulding planes at a quid each and a Sorby Kangaroo brand tenon saw for 50p. The Sorby saw is a 14", but as the first...

Oh joy! the cast alloy gut-buster how many wrist manglings have they caused?

Hampshire Police won a test case at the Netley Traction Engine rally, along the lines of. If the Public may take their vehicles on to private land, then that land becomes subject to all of the road traffic acts! So vehicles have to road worthy, drivers have to be of age, etc, etc.

Totally spoilt his recording by shouting over the 'heritage' sound. Hate to think how loud he would get if he saw something unique like two Lanc's flying over unexpectidly as I did yesterday.

Do as they ask, injure (slightly) yourself in the process, ands then sue the hell out of 'em. They have a duty of care you are their premises by right.

I have some W. Marples & Sons large diameter ones up to 2 1/4" inch most of the big ones seem to have only cutting edge, with the other edge squared off, and no nicking edge on that side either. Is this normal for the larger diameter auger bits. I post a pic, but the camera batteries are flat...

If I making it I would half the last gap and have two equal last spacings, another posibility is to fill in the last gap, or fatten the face of the post. G

In the photo of the Sorba example isn't the shaving curling in the wrong direction?

Isn't the T shaped slot above the claw of the hammer supposedly for holding a nail. Look carefuly at the last photo, and see below. G

Those lads are the true definition of scary sharp!

No I have no idea what size tap would be used with that thing, even my 1" square drive 1 1/2" Whit taps would snap if you tried to use them with that size wrench. Gareth

Found this amongst a pile of junk, had to keep it, its 53" tall, and very heavy - too good to scrap!

I would go for a keep rest for the horizontal part of the drop bolt handle, could be a screw or a nice block of wood

Britain lost more senior officers pro rata then any other nation involved, a junior sub would be lucky to last six weeks. Forget the Lions led by Donkeys rubbish of the late 60's. For a better informed view of WW1 I would suggest the Great War Forum.

As one who enjoys the never ending accompaniment of a permanent hiss in the ears, I do suggest that good hearing protection is a must. I bought the first pair of ear muffs in our boat yard and was thought a right wuss. Boys used cotton wool, real men didn't notice (until it was too late). When...

Finally got a first round hit with the artillery game, that was hard!
