was my thoughts too
if I let an injury bleed, it'll bleed like hell (part of me gaucher's apparently) .....
if I can stop it with pressure immediately it's usually fine .... this got a LOT of pressure ..... IMMEDIATELY!!
didn't fancy the prospect of a trip to A&E ... not quite knowing the extent, 'til I'd washed it off and had a better gander !!
Pam said I should've left it stuck in there so she could've pulled it out
Managed to rip the top half of my ear off when I was younger - not fully off but hanging off. Nurse superglued it back on as couldn’t stitch it... apparently superglue was designed originally as a battlefield dressing

... routine these days to glue wounds ... cyanoacrylate adhesive is perfect for it as it likes moist surfaces to function best

Or super glue for the non scientists among us
Gp that lives next door to me always had super glue with him when his kids were younger, near on same stuff just stings a bit more.

Superglue is a trade name for cyanoacrylate adhesive .... first one I ever came across was called I.S. -12 and was bloody dear tack ...Or super glue for the non scientists among us

bit puffed up this morning .............. and sore
got these nailed together ..
and roughed out on the belt grinder
before getting a fettle with a flap disc and attached to the rest of the 'job'
all in the set up
'the boss' likes the 'industrial look', rather than a coat of summat .... so they got a coat of
lacquer
some of her original ones .. AP tops are a much nicer shape ... and none of 'em'll blow over in a wind
not quite so the bottoms .. prefer 'the other's bottoms
used to get AP bottles dumped outside my yard gates ..... AP would never collect them, so they got the treatment in the band saw, as scrappy wouldn't/couldn't take them. AP's loss was Pam's gain ..... Guaranteed frost proof
Pam's been busy indoors ... been proper cold again today ... paperwork this morning and these this afternoon
❤
one for Vicki, two for our freezer and one for tonight ... good it was too .. GF Rhubarb crumble ... awesooooooome
Sparty has also discovered that due to us being banged up -- -er I mean on lock down/shielding .. the planters are still devoid of greenery/coloured bits ... you know plant things ... and no - - not 'our type' of plant
caught ... almost in the act .. "Don't tell Mum, Dad "

different day ... different project ... after another coat of lacquer
looking tidy
then we had a bit of a strip down to contend with, after finding it in need of a lot of TLC .... some'll have seen this bit of kit before .. them that ain't .. be interested to hear people's guesses at what it is ..
this key took a bit of extracting ...
can't beat a good old wedge for shifting tight stuff
took a bit of stripping, as some of this had 'seized' fairly solidly
but come apart it did .. eventually .. had to resort to some BIG spangaleros, for the odd bits ..... don't often get the 3ft monkey out
stripped and cleaned, it went back together a lot easier ..... not been this good in a loooooong time
getting there ......
and
back together ...
interesting repair at some point in its life ... probably been dropped or taken a knock
no idea of a maker ... other than this one 'badge' ..... but could just be a foundry marker ..
so fellas ...... what do you think it is ...... and as said them tha's seen it afore ...... stum !!
oh and the reason it got some TLC today ..... I was going to use it 'til i found it wasn't 'too well'

Always the way. I went up to mums to sort my strimmer head out, spent an hour fixing her gate (need to make a new one it's toast!) And still didn't get the strimmer head off. Resigned to just buy another head & pole assy for the brush cutter attachment.

once I've done what I wanted the 'device' for, today ... I think I'll strip it completely ... full clean off and give it some shiny tish ... it's a LOT older than me and deserves to be 'preserved' .... not a lot left that hasn't been stripped today and'll come completely to bits with relative ease now.

Nice ring roller Gra, not seen that before. Got some age to it I’d imagine and some gravity to it too!
ive always got my eyes open for things like that to add to the workshop, but never come across one like that.

yes James, it's beautifully made, in the days when casting was a real art form. Shame it's been repaired, but even that is work of art
... and yeh ... it's a hell of a weight, for such a small lump
