    Please tell me I didn't screw up...

    The only thing you screwed up on is some of the pics are fuzzy! :o That apart, I think those boxes were a good deal for what you paid. :thumbup: There will always appear to be good deals, but being able to fully inspect the boxes before buying has it's benefits, as does buying near where you...

    Rebuild of an Atlas 12 lathe

    Really nice restoration, thanks for sharing. First time I've ever seen the workings of a lathe in such detail, good to see it ready for years more service.

    No nonsense, traditional, servicable, work boot

    I've only ever worn Dr. Martens steel toe cap, air soled boots in the workshop, and think very highly of them, especially after they took the brunt of a motorcycle engine dropping on them! Website, here.

    Proper Tool for E Clips?

    We always called circlips and e-clips, 'ping - fu*k it's', because they go ping, and you say "fu*k it!"

    That is what marks out the professional! Great workmanship, I've not seen such heavy engineering as I only worked on motorcycles.

    Worst Vise Repair Ever ...

    It's about functionality, not aesthetics. It's a working tool, not a piece of artwork. Personally I have no problem with seeing a tool being given a new lease of life.

    who's bought a box off the truck

    In 1986 I bought my SO box from my Dealer, on interest free credit and at list. It's a decision that I have never regretted! I'd spent some time working out my spec's with the SO catalogue and knew which box I wanted, and consider the box to have been well worth every penny. The quality...

    do you ever do something that makes you feel stooooopid?

    I was working on the clutch of a Yamaha trail bike and didn't have a locking tool for that specific bike to secure the clutch basket, so used a length of wood to hold it. A piece of clutch basket flew across the workshop, and as I thought aw' ****! the customer just burst out laughing! I...
