It's definitely carpenter or prostitute. For tools or undies.

Does no one understand me? 

I was obviously talking about Shackleton’s cat

I was obviously talking about Shackleton’s cat 

Then the next question is did the cat use tools...or wear undies...or both?

I love this forum, reminds me of the George Bernard Shaw Quote

 “England and America are two countries separated by the same language.”

[Sparky415]

Picked up a bunch of stuff this weekend



Inc a very cool ½ inch wrench from the USA
I’m guessing it is for working on car brakes or something similar 

[Yadda]

Like that wrench.  Patent date from the mid 50's. 

[AlephZero]

Nice haul Sparky


Unusually rust-free though...

[Zed]

Cool finds tony  i used my beto professional track pump that i picked up from the carbooty a week back,think its the first time i got 120psi in my road bikes tires for ages,plus was so easy 

[Sparky415]

Like that wrench.  Patent date from the mid 50's.

It’s a nice well made little thing Yadda,
it wouldn’t take a high torque which made me think it would be good on hard to reach brass fittings like brakepipes, do you have any ideas?

I’m doing my best Mate   
The Richards slippy is quite rusty, does that count?

120psi? That sounds awfully dangerous  (I once blew up the tyre on my chopper using a garage compressor on my way home from school  )

And the tray will fit in one of my tool chests

120psi is pretty normal on road bike tires.. Those skinnies need more pressure to compensate for the lack of air volume

Me? Around 30psi in my 2.35" balloon tires

  i run 120psi in my skinny 700+20c road tires and 50psi in my fat 26+23 off road tires

I did get to the carboot on Sun but rain stopped play, got these though  not the SAK



Cos I really need another tool box 

[Sparky415]

Picked up a couple of things at the charity shop, some kind of table game, made in India

After it fell to pieces 


And after it fell in to my little band saw 


Also got an instaflam Gaz cooker, made 1989ish works great,

Back down to one square foot

[SteveC]

Nice looking wood Sparky, what do you have planned for it ?

It's going in to one of my 'project' boxes, more fodder for modding 
Probably scales I reckon if I can slice it in half it will be almost spot on for SAK scales

[Pile Driver]

Just got back from the flea market, I feel I got the deals of the day if there were any to be had.

A Vintage Schrade Old-Timber Honesteel in really good shape, original sheath and lanyard; and
A Vintage Cattaraugus Fixed Blade in really good shape, with original matching sheath

$12 and $15 respectively

[SteveC]
