Thought I'd bore the **** out of you lot, with this work in progress. A Drummond hand powered shaper. One item I've been hoping to drop on for a good few year now, & finally got hold of one last year, thanks to @dutchgray. Also the first full project I've undertaken since moving here. Set up a...

putting the initial bid on things on Ebay, so that I can easily find the item in my bids list, and also decide later whether to up my bid or not later on. Honestly was not expecting to be the only bidder on this. :D Picked it up today, so that bit of space I'd made in the workshop is about to...

Picked this wee beastie up at a boot sale on Saturday. In your money, it cost me just shy of $5. Just need to dig out a working 110V transformer to give it a whirl, but knowing how stout the build quality on these things is, it would likely have to have been seriously abused to not be...

Picked this up at a car boot last week. As some might know, I like hand powered drills, but this one also caught my eye due to the manufacturer. It's made by FPU. Seeing as they only wanted the princely sum of £2 for it too, this little baby was coming home with me without a shadow of a doubt. :D

I'm beginning to think that free space in a workshop is just a mythical, nonexistent thing in a story created by some sadist to piss people off when they have no free space in their workshop. :D Finally started making a little bit of room in the workshop so that I could at least walk around...

Just having a shift round in the shed, and wondered if anyone might recognise this particular unit, and possibly have any info on it. I've always drawn a blank when I search for info on it.

A piece of foreign import tat turned up here today. :evil: These were made by Walker-Turner? Seems a cute little thing. 14" throat on this one. Needs some work. The bottom blade holder assembly is completely missing, and the top one is only partial. What thread was used to attach the...

Just wondered if anyone might have seen one of these little units before. Tried finding some info on it in the past and had no luck, so wondered if there was a possibility it may have come from something over your side of the pond. I've finally started stripping it to clean it, so thought I'd...

Thought I'd start a single thread for everything rather than keeping track of multiple. With the way I tend to switch between things at any given time, makes it easier for updating too. :D Finally got off my **** and ventured out to pick this machine up the other day. The truck seems to have...

This is actually something I started about three months ago, but it got put on hold for a while. Bought it around the start of the year. These are the sellers photos, so apologies for the quality. Never had any intention of tarting this one up as such, for the time being. It's a simple...

Been trying to resist asking, but not been able to find much of owt, (shortened form of 'anything', just incase anyone wonders what owt means :D), on here with the search. Anyone got owt on the fly press front, or a link to a thread containing such?

Finally got tired of bits of this machine taking up space on the bench, so decided to make a start on fettling and reassembling it. There's only very minor superficial spots of rust on it, so no derusting or repainting is being done to it. Just a clean to degrease it, coat the cast with Linseed...

Just wondered if anyone might have replaced the standard bar type handle on their bench vice with something a bit more compact, so that a vice can be used over a bench rather than at the edge, for example, without having to constantly slip the handle through for tightening/untightening. I've...
