'course he is. Got an FL ----
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.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.
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.

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.
On a tangent, me new (kinda) boss took the crew out for brekker yesdi, full English on him, he then went round the table and give us all a bung fur Crispmus. Post wuk today he took us all down the pub.
Most impressed, best bonus I've had for forty years and I've only been doing bits and pieces since August.
Nice.
Up on a roof today fixing anti bird mesh around solar panels. Most was a doddle, but the last twelve feet was over a kinda carport over the front door. Meant edging along a eight inch strip next to the drop, fitting the clips (not knowing how robust the panels were). Big cortisol hit.

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.
