Aha wikipaedia a tool for texturing stone or concrete http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bush_hammer looking at the pics on wiki in that link Would a metal worker also use such a tool for decorative work????

Ah, makes real sense, I used to do multidrop work, & address sometimes was a nightmare ( pre-satnav, & pre - area codes), If i am expecting a delivery from a non regular delivery man, I have hung out an identifying sign in road hedge for drivers benefit now that Meat tenderiser?? Just found...

So looking at their illustrations it would look as if the original designer used a common size pump/ screw assembly & used a different diameter base to increase capacity, I see there is another one on there like You found Thomas, the inverted funnel shaped one. Which raises a question in my...

The sort of scales I was thinking of would be similar to this one I found on Flkr search, front platform for sacks or whatever, & back smaller platform for the cast weights, when the tops of the 2 platform uprights were level that was your weight...

looks like one of the weights from your scales, the one with the wood upright, has got separated from home, or is that another scale, that one had a hanger on didn't it? Edit, did a bit more searching BTW the "Search this forum" button option is very useful) this is the scale I remembered, but...

That hatchety thing, could be used as a small axe of course, chopping kindling?, but, with that snickety there, nail puller? perhaps it is an adze, or even more remotely unlikely, was it fruit box makers tool for doing apple/ fruit veg/etc., wood crates, nail in with the head, pull out when...

2005? pic of road sign bottom segment plain no additions 2010? pic bottom segment looks to have aquired some numerical sticker additions is this the township dating/id ing signs program, or something else? Always questions questions but as any good teacher will tell ya, dont ask you wont know!!

Those heating oil tanks, were they converted later into tanker trailers for farmers use, or just for scrap steel sheet use, can see possabilities with those. sorry for all the question but thats the way my mind works. "What would I do with that, how would I reutilise it" I actually have some...

This intrigues me, why 2 different diameter barrels in what looks to be an ordinary oil can, Now if it had a separate opening to the bigger barrel, as a separate chamber, You could just imagine a hot water jacket keeping the oil from getting more viscous on a cold day.:lol_hitti There must...

The LIFT in this detail from the catalogue, it looks to me that the attatchment option they supplied was on the right hd ramp driving on ( I prefer not to use drivers /pass side terminology, as this is a world wide readership & I am the one that easily gets confused ), before you get to the...

Thanks so much Thomas & Joe, I am probably old fashioned, but when I read a thread on any Inter netty forum, with little red Xs instead of pics or boxes saying 'pic or vid no longer available' I feel much like I did when reading an old book & finding pages of text or photos ripped out. Used to...

Thank you both for the courtesy of your replies Chris I almost resisted the need to reply "yes Miss, thank you Miss" But my wife another Chris, and I, also have a friend who is a retired teacher, so it slips off the tongue by habit :bounce: Thomas Sunny Devon, Yep more sun today, but, let me...

Hi Thomas or Chris been enjoying your thread & decided I must have missed some pages so went back to recap, read about 10 pages at a time, to lessen eye strain ( getting old(er)) got to page 66, post 1320 where hobbitts quoted a previous post of yours & all the pics were gone with a box saying...

Hi Thomas & Chris. I just love this thread, thank you for the time & trouble that its taken to post all that you have done. It has revived many memories for me, having had 2 garages in the family as I grew up. one a city garage, & the other a wayside filling station with a small shed for a...
