    I can't believe your not getting any takers.

    What was that cast wolfenden before it became a pedestal for the grinder?

    Gday DSEL. No idea. It actually had that grinder/polisher/linisher unit depending on which piece you attached, bolted to two blocks of timber maybe 7 or 8" thick. I removed the blocks & fitted the painted/hinged ali box which stores a selection of grinding wheels & a taper fitting & works a treat. Painted the grinder unit & pedestal with available paint. Weighs a ton. gordo

    I like it except for the pink lettering, I think white might have been my choice on blue. I also like the old number plate on your tool box.

    Cool foundry tools. I used to work in a fourth on weekends as a teenager. If I had a car I reckon I'd load up that old trailer and bring it all back to Melbourne lol.

    Just a thanks to those that have rung & are calling by. If enough turn out it could almost be a WWGT! A little reminder for the Sat/Sun is that some of the larger pieces i can`t lift so maybe bring a mate to help. cheers gordo

    Gordon thanks for this opportunity to see you shed and large collection of gear/collectables and FREE give always good to catch up. Thanks for allowing me to bring a mate around who is just setting up. Nice to see Christos and Henry there also.

    I've scored the Sher multi workshop.
    Mate scored the Herbert Workshop its a stunner has more gadgets than you can see in the pics above. and he has sights on a full restoration even though it is in working condition.

    I can say what Gordon has on offer and has put photos up of is only a small drop in comparison to whats there.

    Come on don't feel you can't use won't need something go look.

    Good on you Ray. Thanks. It was with some regrets i even first thought about doing but in the end it had to be done.This way i know the folk who got what they wanted will make more use of than i could given the 'wip' house i`ve bought. It`s a safe bet to say ALL the pushbikes/parts have gone.The Sher & the Herbet as you know.Foundry implements gone. One gerni left. Big old one with faulty switch. Some ones got their eye on the Wolfenden pedestal grinder. The blue painted saw/tube & side sander ? Anyhow if any one still wants stuff - you know what to do. cheers gordo

    Hi Gordon,
    I dropped in to the Men's shed after a visit with Ray and Christo on the way home and Hugh and Andrew were there. They are keen on the old stove for the shed at Bungonia, the other small gurney and the floor Jack.
    I would like the grinder on the Wolfenden base and the cupboard with the jacks in the bottom.
    Hugh wants the Landy trailer to add to his 3 or 4 Landys.
    We were thinking of coming over the weekend before Easter with my ute and Hugh's Landy (he has a crane on it). If you want us to pick up earlier we can, just give us a shout.
    Thanks again for the moulders tools, we have a few projects which hopefully we will make some progress on now. Good to put a few more faces to you guys on here.

    Gday Henry. Works for me. The only gerni i have left is the one with faulty electric switch.It looks bigger than what it is because of the metal body fitted.It is bare of any hoses/wands.From memory it has about 1200/1500 PSI.However i will scout around & see if there are any hoses etc.Other stuff mentioned i will put aside for you & the mens shed. Great meeting you & Christos too. gordo

    I have been a little bit slow in responding in this thread and I do apologize for that.

    I wish to firstly thank Gordon for the generous offer in allowing me to pickup a few things. It sometimes happens that we meet people in person and you develop an understanding of that person. This is one of those cases that I kind of wish Gordon was not moving to Tasmania. He is a very interesting person to chat with.

    I don't think it is easy to predict the future but normally things come in three's.
