Thanks guys, they take way too much time to get out as modern stuff is built not to be maintained.
Still, great little conversation piece.
The second one was better, but I nicked the Conroe twice with the grinder as its crank case was a sealed unit.
Well, both Bootfairs were a bust, they were on, but all I managed to get was one small vintage Butlins holiday camp peanut plate for Nicola @£1.50 which is more than double what I would normally pay, but she grew up with the Butlins holiday camps and will be going there next weekend with a group of her school mates.
Carburettors from the chainsaws added in pic.
Plate is smaller than a Victorian saucer.
I am often appalled at what gets tossed, so much new stuff.
Yesterday there was a load of heavy duty Dexian shelving and framework, all obviously new......
Still, I will continue to exploit other people's stupidity and glut, to feed my own habits. Every time I get something free, and can pass it on, or use it myself, it releases money to go into my mortgage. Easy.
I did buy some 16mm spindles for the bench polisher on EBay last night.
So hopefully those will be here this week too.
