A cool video from back in the day when snow was real snow..

I use a small wire brush, emery paper, wire wool and a stick.

Oi you two, stop filling my van up with parcels for the north, i know my van is red but a lot of space inside is pre-booked

A few more items found weeks ago while clearing out at John's. First, a 9" diameter wheel. Crude and not perfectly round. Any idea's anyone. Steering or control wheel.? 1/2" bar and split clamp with 1/2" bore. Next, an odd looking spring compressor. Third is a Potato lifter ? Can be angled left or right. Well, it could if it wasn't it seized up. Various other seized up adjustments too. And the biggest turnbuckle / tensioner the Showman says he has ever seen. He is wondering if he can use it on a future project. Mentioned on the forum recently was a few lengths of box section steel with Royal Mail lettering. Stormin Norm requested they be thrown into the Showman's van for him for when they next meet. Chris was muttering something today about making a special delivery, signed for and tracked, trip. Well, his van is red. After tearing himself away from tea and coffee making duties at home, he has to keep his builders happy, Chris was sent to collect some roofing tiles from John. Where else. To make the trip worth while, and due to a shortage of red bits, another load of sticks went back home with him. Another nice but cold "What can we find today" day.

I use a long thin grindstone on a Dremel and flappy sanding wheels.

It's been a slow few days on WN, but slowly parts are getting put through the blasting cabinet and then hit with red oxide.. Dust extraction has still been an issue though, so I built this er... Thing... This kinda worked, doubling up the fan helped a bit more but is far from ideal.... And then yesterday I lifted the cabinet lid a little with the extraction fans on, and all the dust cleared in couple of seconds!! Me thinks another filtered hole in the side of the cabinet is needed!!
