It will (if it ever gets here) be a BoxFord AUD. So it is quite small (but heavy @ 256Kg).
Shiply have failed totally, the bidder just did not understand what he was quoting for (despite all the info given) and so walked away. Very frustrating. I can't get it myself, its too big for the Rangie and I cannot lift 256Kg anyway.
Quotes are coming in at £350 to move it 68 miles. :(
That's a nice little machine. Very compact yet tough and rigid enough to withstand commercial workshop use. Plus it's not too hard to get accessories for them. The latter seem to me to be the key to getting the most out of a lathe - steadies, tools, faceplates, drive plates, 4 jaw chucks, 3 jaw chucks, even more cutting tools, dividing heads and so on.

Transport costs sound a bit steep. Could the vendor get it onto a pallet and then a pallet delivery firm could shift it? That Hayter Condor mower I bought a few weeks ago cost just over £100 to deliver on a double pallet. It was less than 256 Kg, but a few years ago I got a diesel cement mixer that was over 300 Kg delivered on a large pallet for around £120 or so.

It'll be so much fun when you get it home.
 
Any headlamp heggspurts out there?

Friend of mine needs brighter headlamps, yellow glowy things not doing it for her.

Neon, Xenon, LED ?? what's best without blinding peeps or breaking the law ?

If headlights in good condition install Osram Nightbreaker H4 bulbs [not the longlife versions]. These bulbs are very good and readily available from Amazon, Euro Car Parts, eBay.
Beat me to it. Straight swap and effective imo

Got any builder friends with a pick-up
 
Does it really set ard after 15 minutes? Ard enuff to attach a post and an 8 foot length of 6 foot tall fevver board fence? Eye were finking if leaving it 24 hours to set instead.
I had the same experience as Dan when we moved in. 150 foot of six foot panels in a couple of days. We also packed out the holes with lumps of the old stuff. I'd use with confidence.

I'm not sure which is worst;
Wash the cans out - extra load on the sewage works and pollution to the waterways - oxygen taken from the water.
Don't wash the cans out - metal goes for scrap and extra pollution goes into the atmosphere when the remains of the contents gets incinerated.
Why are we paying to use our super-expensive hot water to wash tins out in the first place?
 
A wee scoosh under the cold tap usually suffices, and muscle memory will take you straight back to said tap when you hideously lacerate yourself.
And for people on water meters they are paying for that too. It's all "wokeness" and wrong.
The companies making money out of scrap should pay all the costs for the recovery of the metals and the by-product clean-up, not the consumer. IMHO of course.
