Oh quick update on the Hitachi mitresaw from Monday night. Spent some time cleaning it up this morning and sanded back the deck to remove some glue and scratches. (before/after images below) Good as new and and Hitachi still stock spares for all the parts so a new trigger is on order for just...

Not technically a purchase.... But walking back from the pub last night spotted something shiney on the pavement! Blue Point T45 torx socket! Must have fallen out of a service van. Guess my Snap On related collection grows to THREE pieces :hehe: Sent from my G8341 using The Garage Journal...

Well this was an unexpected Monday evening win! Spotted a post on Gumtree (UK Craigslist) for a Hitachi mitre saw. Described as working but faulty switch. Well for £10 I can live without the plastic trigger piece! I'll probably just whittle a wooden replacement and glue it in place...

Oh oh... And here I was expecting you to have one!! Even Google is struggling, with only a few random stock photo hits and an ebay add, but none with any information. I've cleaned it up on the wire wheel and after knocking off a burr on the jaw lips they close beautifully square. Basically...

Well it might not have been a snow day here but the winds were nuts! Only managed one car boot sale before getting hit in the face by an umbrella on the loose and calling it quits. Mixed bag... >Couple of KING **** Whitworth spanners >Draper 3/8" ratchet... Never seen a nut, but cheap...

I'm fortunate to finish at 13:00 on a Friday so went the long way home today. First stop was a reclamation yard, brilliant place full of lots of wierd and wonderful items to repurpose. They also have bins of tools.... Unfortunately these bins sit outside all year and this time they were simply...

Wow some great finds in the first weekend of 2019 by everyone! Bluebomber you ****! I looked at an anvil yesterday half that size/weight with the top looking like it'd been hit with a jackhammer.... And they wanted £200!!! Drivesitfar, love those cabinets. It's scores like that which make me...

Cheers Outlaw and Seber for the advice. I've used some bar soap and it's working nicely. Admittedly Yorkshire is pretty wet most the time but I think it will be fine as its unlikely to be in heavy use. If I have issues I might also try beeswax which was another option I considered. Sent from...

Nice finds Lugnutz! Are those bino's "W Watson & Sons"? My dad still has a pair that my grandfather carried during the war. Sent from my G8341 using The Garage Journal mobile app

To "Hoon" A random drive on country roads with no particular destination but just the joy of driving your car. Typically pushing the (legal) limits, but mostly enjoying the drive. Personally I do these very early (pre-6am) on a weekend morning where if I was to make a mistake the only one...

Evening guys, guess I did get an early start this year! FYI the "jip-can" flask metal gauge will have to settled at a later date [emoji12] Anyway looking for some advice regarding the big wooden screw clamp. I've freed it up and hit it with a little methylated spirit and wire wool, but any...

Happy 2019 all! I hate to be that guy, but woke up this morning with a clear head (no idea how!) and the dawn peaking through the blinds so I went for a hoon over the Yorkshire moors to "celebrate" the new year! Came across an antiques fair at York horse racing circuit :bounce: >Old wooden...
