What tool did you buy today?

[swb58]

Couldn't resist bringing home a 6 ppi rip saw yesterday. Clean enough condition to see it had a stamped name so assumed there was some age to it. Now found that Sanderson Brothers & Newbould was formed in 1901 so not as early as I expected.

A Mop Dresser and polishing compound from the Polishing Shop - excellent service from these folks and postage is only £2.50 for small orders.

A face shield from Axminster. Good reviews on it and only £1.00 postage as you know. Only wish I knew what I did with my old one ...

1", ⅜" & ½" inch paring chisels, each with 14" long blades... £5 all in.

The lands are so fine they're almost sharp at the tips, really nice chisels from 'Clegg Uxbridge'

Just bought one of these today, the 120L which stands just below waist high. Maybe too big for a drop bin when full, but I'm planning to put a perspex strip down it's length to show how full it is. I live a few miles away from the seller so I was able to collect and paid £14 all in. It's like new with an air tight top.

Festool SYSrock BR10

You sure got the festool bug! Does that have digital radio on it?

I do yeah lol
No it doesn't have DAB, No a problem for me as we don't even get that here, I plan using it mostly with my mobile, Tunes from my mobile or one of them radio apps with millions of stations and podcasts etc like TuneIn.

Pocket hole clamp. Sold as a welding clamp but the same thing and cheaper than those advertised as pocket hole clamps. The thing arrived yesterday. Good quality fast delivery. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/161938401964? ... EBIDX%3AIT

They don't do one that charges the batteries. I've got the plain old dab one, I've had a makita radio for years, ive also got a dewalt one I won in a competition. Keep that in the workshop.

I wanted a dab one so upgraded and sold my old one .

You can get several versions a normal cheap one, dab one, iPod dock version and lastly a Bluetooth version which is the most expensive.

The makita is what most people have in the trade, sound is excellent for its size and they can take a few knocks.

Nah not my photo skills. Workshop looks like it would be too tidy to be mine.

I bought a Bosch GTS 10 XC off a forum member and I must say I'm incredibly impressed, made short work of big chunks of mahogany and ripped a worktop so cleanly I couldn't believe it, I'd only ever cut a kitchen worktop once with a home base skill saw, it was dreadful.... The laminate chipped all over and I truly believed it was impossible to cut a veneered surface without specialist machinery.

Not try to teach you to suck eggs but did you cut the worktop bottom side up? I try and avoid fitting worktops if I can. Even the thought of chipping a joint makes me cringe

That was where I went wrong (hammer) I guess that's why the TS worked so well

Not really a tool, more an accessory... However, I spend a lot of time sanding with a power drill and drum attachment (no dust collector available). This bad boy really helps with extraction when placed to collect the dust. Much cleaner work shop....

I picked up these on preloved for £100

6 Marples chisels
1 Crown tools roughing out gouge
8 unknown unbranded chisels (probably part of a starter kit?)

DML 24x

A case of bits and pieces of lathe stuff that I have no idea?

Might have to get myself a book now to go with it.....

And thanks to Mike Beetle of this parish for the free legs, does anyone know where I can pick up a couple of wedges so I can fit the leg kit?

 

[Graham Orm]

Nice catch!! What's preloved?

 

[Homerjh]

Mortise and marking gauge Irwin Marples from Amazon on warehouse for just shy of £20

I've just won a load of "turning tools" on Ebay, there are several which are definitely turning tools, but a number appear to be outcannel paring/scribing gouges with boxwood "carver" handles. Either would be useful...
