Nice score Bob!!

I will bet a silk pyjama that your broher used the saw in a Triton bench. DAMHIK

BOB... OMG your newly acquired sander... that's the FESTO baby that I'm looking for... Derek won't part with his...lol...
I would have helped him move & bought sausage rolls too!!!!!

If you're looking to sell it or give it new home...????
We should have BBQ soon... must be someone's turn again...???
Keep well

Hi Bob,

Good score indeed. I like the 8" Abbot and Ashby grinder with Linisher attachment, that should be very useful for you in the metalshop. To buy all those new would put you back a packet.

Never heard or seen your vice though, looks a quality casting, and has support all the way back under the jaw tongue, nice and solid.

Cheers
Pops

I knew my brother had that Festo ROS because I have used it before and it is indeed a nice tool to use but had no idea it was in the boxes of stuff he handed over to me.

I was hoping to have my new shed finished by the end of the year so I could host a BBQ but my extended travels and ongoing raft of health issues have stymied this plan. The latest thing I have is blood clots under my left knee!!! I have to keep quiet with my leg up and go for gentle short (10-15 minute) walks every couple of hours. When SWMBO goes out I sneak down the shed and clean up a bit and rearranged the fandanglers but I can't really do much more at the moment.

Cheers Pops, yep that linisher will be very useful for metal work.

Nice score Bob, and what a generous Brother.
I'm sure that you will do this anyway, but just a quick heads up on the Hitachi saw. Unless you are going to use it in a Triton saw table, I would remove the cable tie on the trigger immediately in case you forget later. It will come on as soon as you turn on the power otherwise - could be nasty.
Love the vice.

Yep saw that but the cable tie is not actually on the trigger

Love the vice.

Yep - it has me intrigued.
