Hi Dale, I always say free money is good but free tools is good too, especially high quality ones😂. A lot of people seem very happy for me and that makes sharing my luck worthwhile. Thanks, Stuart.

Hi Cactus and thanks. I know what you mean, I hated the adds so much I pay the $15 a month for premium which means no adds and I can download the good videos. I’ve given up completely on commercial tv so I feel I get good value for my $15. Cheers mate, Stu👍👍

@@scroungasworkshop4663 Silly me, I didn't know one could subscribe to remove the adv's and to be able to download a video - I will have to go that way myself

@@Cactus6404 You can’t know everything! But like I said, I find it good value.

Thanks Magdad, it certainly was👍👍

Thanks so much Everythings Adjustable, that’s really kind of you. Cheers my friend, Stu.

Hi Garry, are you Wally or related to Wally? Now you had an interesting job. I was really excited to get the thread files as they’re something I need from time to time when restoring tools. Thanks for the comments, cheers Stuart.

@@scroungasworkshop4663 No I'm not Wally, just happen to have the same last name and born the same year.. Yep it was interesting, and those thread files come in handy a few times on bolts with buggered up threads.. I would have loved to been with you when you made that haul.. I used to have an entire workshop, but it's gone now except for a few tools.. Well enough rambling on from me, and thx again for bringing us along.. Take care my friend...

@@garyjones2582 Absolutely, it would have been great to have another enthusiast to share with, we’d have had a party 🎊. Take care of yourself too Gary. Cheers Stuart.

Hi Brian, awesome to hear from you as always my friend. I was pretty happy to get those gilbrows as I have the full size ones and I like using them even though I have aviation snips. There’s no equal to quality British and American tools. Cheers mate, Stuart.

Hi Joe, I like to think it was karma balancing the scales. We were involved in one of those horrific fatal car accident that only happen to someone else and this was one of those unbelievable giveaways that only happens to someone else.😂😂 Cheers and thanks for commenting.

e-9y are for Scotchloc moisture resistant connectors (edit spelling)

Thanks Todaywefly, I was hoping that’s what the rods were for so thank for chiming in with that and the pliers. Lots of smart people out there.👍👍

@@nurgle11 Thanks Andrew👍👍👍

Yes they can be used for Scotchloc crimps… however they are actually for telephone joint crimps…. Yellow ones like that are generally GPO or BT (General Post Office or British Telecom) issue…. These are found on UK based Telephone systems.The course open cut file you show is a Dreadnought File or Milleni Cut file they can be used on wood but generally used for Aluminium as it does not clog up

Hey Aceroadholder, what a terrible thing to happen, I just shake my head in disbelief. I agree, I would rather have my stuff given away rather than it go in a skip. Cheers 👍👍

Hey Steve, that last sentence had me in stitches, it’s the funniest comment I’ve ever had. Cheers mate and thanks for the giggle. Stu👍👍

Thank you Bob, and I will try to keep safe. Cheers mate, Stuart.👍👍

Hi Little Restorers, unfortunately that’s probably true. I started a spreadsheet with my workshop contents so when the inevitable happens my family has some idea of what to sell things for. I have also made it clear I don’t want them keeping stuff just for sentimental reasons. Cheers and thanks for commenting.

@Scrounga’s Workshop Thats smart mate 😉

What a nice score you got there. Your a very lucky man 👍

@@Austeration Hey Austeration, I have to agree it was my lucky day😂😂

Hey, thanks Wayne, now I know👍👍👍

Thanks Scout, that’s really kind of you👍👍

Hey Nick, thanks so much, I was pretty happy with my haul too. Cheers Mate👍👍👍

Hey, thanks for the help Jon, much appreciated. Cheers Stuart.

Hi Big Vic and thanks for commenting. It’s exactly the same here in Australia, if it’s free then it must be rubbish but if it has a price tag then it must be worth stealing😂😂😂. Cheers mate, Stuart.

Thanks Cem, I agree, it’s for something soft. Cheers Stuart. 👍

Thank Jeff, I certainly did. Cheers Stuart.

Thanks Jim, I couldn’t agree more😂😂😂

Thank you very much. Hello to everyone in beautiful Cincinnati.

Hi Ian, of course I get your remark😂 I’m an Aussie too! There were certain tools that really added to my excitement and that Rega was one of them. It now sit on a shelf right above my workbench and I don’t know why but I really admire it and the fact it’s in perfect condition. Of course it gets used but they’ll have to pull that one out of my cold, dead hands before I’ll ever part with it. Any way I can see your restored Rega? My email is stuart.leanne@gmail.com Cheers and thanks so much for commenting.

@@scroungasworkshop4663 Hi Stuart….apologies for the late reply….had a big few days work wise. Mate!! Absolutely. I’ll get some stuff sorted out and send some pics. 👍

@@iand5057 Awesome 👍👍👍

Hi Mark, yes it is sad but that’s life these days. Hopefully I’ve made enough preparations for when my family has to do the same thing. Actually once the operation was done the recovery was reasonably quick and easy. I had a wrist brace to hold everything together while it healed and went in for therapy treatment once a week, I think, just to help with scarring and and stopping the scared area adhering to the bones. Surprisingly it’s not as dramatic as I thought it would be. I can still do most things like drive, tie my shoes ect but it’s little things I’m still discovering that are difficult/ frustrating eg dealing cards, putting a key in the front door, reaching into tight spots or using my hands in a confined area. If it had been my left, non primary, wrist it would be less of a problem. My memory of the operation is a little vague as I was recovering from surgery to my left shoulder at almost the same time, the rotator cuff was torn off the bone, and recovery from that, although it went perfectly is a lot more complicated and painful than the wrist. I was still recovering from the more major injuries from the car accident as well so I wasn’t a happy camper. The good news is my wife and I both survived, obviously, but the two drugo’s that hit us head on both died. My wrist and shoulder are both pain free now so those surgeries had their desired outcome and I can still tinker to my heart’s content. Good luck with your operation, I’d like to hear how you get on. Cheers from someone that is grateful for everyday no matter the weather😂

Thanks Stuart for the reply as my wrist has been stuffed for 2 years most of my tools have just gathered dust , I am a woodworker a heart but have to say like all shops wood or metal. I worked in a lathe shop for over 15 years making bearings for the timken bearings company. It a shame that a lot off the old hand tool are not getting made any more as most engineering shops are all c n c. More about computer skills and programming than using your hand , That so the younger ones won’t wear out there body like us . I will let you know how it goes with the operation. Thanks Mark.

@@markpearson2085 That’s so true Mark. Like you I appreciate any workshop but unlike you I lean hard to the metal work side only doing woodwork when I have to. Good luck with the wrist operation and I’ll be keen to get an update. 👍👍👍
