That and the famous Fire ship HMS Bristol.

Plus it worked well. FB5X and FRB10X

Is it to early for Christmas Jokes? Hoe. Hoe. Hoe. Why? Three pens. The ink well and nib, liberated from pens in a certain shop. The metal bits, found in a scrap yard.

Hand whittled bit of beech, into a hammer shaft. Going to be fitted to a head for a Men In shed member with hand issues.

I nipped over to see a friend on his canal boat and Butty. He makes his living by making tradition toys. I was allowed to play in his workshop. So I made a box. Filled with some black plastic blanks. Set up his small work top CNC machine, went for lunch. A bit of white paint, from a...

The Local bee's are nt taking Card payments. Cash only. By weight I tend to do it.

Approx 3 to one. 3 wax and 1 oil. But that can change as I use different bees wax. from a friend who keeps about 20 hives.

I melt Bee's max and add linseed oil until it is a thick cream mix. Allow to cool and add White spirit to the mix. This should leave you with a butter like mix. I apply it to warm metal, allow to cool and buff.

I use 1 table spoon per liter of water. I use hot water if I am in a rush, or just leave the items to soak until the red oxide is black oxide.

Citric acid powder, thats all.

water based extinguishers are not pure water/4Tap water and additives.

Simply put. If not red they are not approved for UK use. The Lithium fire test was a good giggle in the trade when it first come out. Not much will tackle a lithium fire. Small house old stuff a foam or a powder will slow it down. The times I see a class D type being advised I giggle.

But It is advised a minimum of a 2kg powder is better, better still if backed up with a 1.2m Fire blanket.

Very little works on EV Fires. The current method is, once the flames are out submerge in water for 29days.

As a a BAFE Engineer, Foam extinguishers are not being phased out. As the have a good use. What is being clamped down on is the discharging of said units down the drains. A few money grabbing companies will tell you that and sell you a ECO foam unit. What does not have a good fire rating.
