A man and his workshop... I recently retired after 36 years in aerospace manufacturing as a machinist tool fab and assembly person. I have a small shop with a lathe and mill where I can go and do stuff and keep myself occupied. Can't imagine being without it. Good job on the valve.
you found some great stuff John I have my Grandfather's machinist jack made by Starret that little minor is so cool it would go along with my minniing stuff !
Great job on the valve John. Your miner is made from spelter I believe. Great steal on the job lot mate, wish I could find small parallels like that down here in the smoke!
I love rescueing quality tools at car boot sales. Its becoming more & more difficult to bag a bargain. Because of the Internet people have more access to research their items.
Yea that’s true , sadly the best barings are usually at a sale off the back of a house + shed clearance where everything’s just to be sold not actual repeat stalls people. In the past iv been told “50p” for an immaculate record G clamp for example and I always pay more as it’s a dishonour to their father , grandpa whoever the tool belonged to. Great video John like the square body valves , always like to see a bit of soldering 🏴🇬🇧👍🏻
Also got a similar thing at the flea sale, but mine was a little brass buck. Plus the one time at the scrap yard got a nice set of 5 brass vases, which I gave away.
I had another wonderful time in God's own County this weekend John. On Friday I went to Woodhorn Mining Museum Ashington - what a fantastic experience, packed full of social history, echoing the determination of the mining community in overcoming adversity. I enjoyed their fantastic exhibition of ex miners paintings too. I also went to Amble harbour and Blue Sky boot sales yesterday but wasn't as lucky as you at rescuing preloved tools. Loved your work today too John. 👍
Some day John, you'll realize that things that have been silver soldered, are hot. 😁
Spur center for a wood lathe…..it drives the work between centers
Big allen key is for house radiator valves i think
Correct
Nice boot sale haul, that dubious quality allen key is a plumbing tool radiator fittings

It's good for a Mans Mental Health to have somewhere to tinker.
Hi John served my time in the 60's in a BMC dealership 12,15 and 25 thou happy memories.
Great video. Could you show how you clean the extra solder off the brass and make it look so clean?
Thanks. Bob.
Nice work on the needle valve assembly. Also great car boot sale finds.
"Carburettor jet drills, good for putting holes in black finger nails" pure comedy gold once again John!!
The cursing has gotten to the point where my wife can’t always tell if I’m watching a doubleboost video or if it’s just me working in the shop.
Nice statuette of Wee Jimmy Krankie...

Those cutting tools "Whistle" when working brass makes my dog think she is being called.

Wish I win those punches most are for leather or gasket making.

Miner will look nice polished up
