That's nice. When i was a lot , lot younger , and had hair , and a mum , i built a kit car...a Burlington SS , that looked a bit like a Morgan ..and Morgan drivers used to wave at me ,and i didn't ever wave back, as mine was a fake!! Me mum loved going in it , me wife hated it ..I put a 2.5 Triumph engine in it and drove it like an idiot and frightened her ...I gave it away to a school mate .. I'll find a picture...

Hardly engineering or model engineering .Made a stainless steel horse shoe for a friends daughters wedding posy..

That's knackered my tools a bit . Hard to forge, is stainless steel... I did sweat a little! Cripes, digital picks up every blemish and micro scratches .

Ahh. Probably not what you're looking for,but ..

I was standing under a 30mph road sign last night, and looking up at it .. on the back face is an ally extrusion , with T nuts holding it to the post ..

And I thought of this thread !!

Look at polymorph..? But not for places that get hot !

I've got a model M

Alright , why are tubes seemingly so dim on damp cold days ?

No, mine are turn of the century... (in my albums)

Great for collapsing mole tunnels too !

Wasn't there was a " water pump" that worked by igniting a gas in a u bend , or a chamber , with a clack valve on the outlet end to stop the "pumped "water returning under gravity ....or something like that ??

Might have read an article it in ME or Stationary Engine ..

It's stamped W.R. Grieg...

Swap,   for something useful  like mole grips , pliers or hammers   anyone?

Charity shop find for a £1 ...Answers on a postcard !

And my mum always said motorbikes were dangerous....

That reminded me ,I've got this . It came off of a trencher that was scrapped.. in 1968 .. I've had it since then . Bronze , it doesn't shine up like a brass one would . AA battery for size..

There's one , by the footplate !

Thanks Frances , I doubt she'll let me take them apart....

My daughters hair straighteners make the dog go potty when they're switched on...electrical noise must hurt his ears ? Anything that will stop it ? Do those clip on cable watsits on phone chargers and laptops stop the " noise "?

I might add we can't here anything ,so it must be high pitched !

Bit off topic hijack ...Nigel , tell me more about this Whiskers catalogue..! I thought it was just a bike shop in North London ?

I bought this bike down our local tip for 15 quid, and thought it looked a bit up more market than a Halfords offering.. A decal on the seat tube says Whiskers , other decals say Raleigh Special Products .

Watching the Perseids shower last night , along with the streaks , at times there were just bright small flashes , no tails , like how can I say , coming down vertically and burning up ? Were these meteors too?
