You know the old saying Adam one man’s junk is another man’s treasure. God bless the old boy. 🤗

I wonder if he made the wooden pulleys as patterns to cast aluminium ones. A great video Adam!👍

Great little lot there, I also would have liked to see the lad who owned that lot, I'd say you could have learnt lots from him. Like yourself, I fix things and modify old tools where needed, today I did the wishbone and brakes on a fiat panda, much thinking involved when the brake pins were siezed solid and the R clips turned to mush, needing to be ground flat and drifted out with a ground down hilti nail 🙄👍🇮🇪 Hope ye are both well, you are dropping hints of something stirring in the camp.......

Hi Adam another great video i inherited my father-in-laws workshop with all the tools and alsorts of boxes and jars with everything you could think of in them and i am still finding things and thinking ah that's just what i was looking for after 34 years and they don't make the stuff like they used to, roy copenhagen denmark.

I worked at Christy and Norris, Broomfield road chelmsford in 1984, in the engineering machine shop. If i'm correct they merged with Hunts of Earles Colne January 1985. My fore man was Ron Barford. They were known as process engineers, meaning they made industrial flour mills, The X mill, Sturdevant rock crushers, clinker grinders for coal power station and other specialised machines. As mentioned else where Christy Electrical, which had already closed when I was there, made, as I was told, flood lighting for stadiums and industrial switch gear. A happy place to work.

Covered springs possibly of cushion chairs etc. Great purchase that box of sprigs what you don’t want would fly on eBay.👍👍👍👍👍👍

You`ll soon have as many shed as me to store it all in, Those long sleeved springs are probably boot lid tension springs from an old car.

The Christy and Norris was a electrical and refrigeration Ltd not there now w it's a housing estate now. All lights working Great buy ,I got on out a skip and rewired it not bad for me getting free.

Got some good bargains there, and you have dropped lucky with that trailer board, nice one

Those Knipex pliers look like they are for fitting lemon clips and the like. Very useful for fuel lines.

Nice little lot you have there I would like to see if you do any work on that little Engine 😊take care see you soon 👍

Good stuff Adam

Thanks for the video. You've got some great stuff it will all come in handy. Say hello to Mrs man cave.

Awesome video thanks Adam for your time and consideration 🇬🇧🔧🛠️🚜

Some amazing bits of stuff you brought Adam. The man must have been a genius how cool 😎. Wood pulleys sign and sell them off mate 👍🏻😂

Holy cow that guy sounds like my Dad he usually doesnt throw anything away

Great video😊 thank you😊

Good Evening Adam, I think you have done well for yourself you can never have enough of bits and pieces well done.🛠️🛠️⭐️👍👌

Wooden pulley wall art in the shed.

enjoyed finding your site, particularly as you sound just like my late father in law who hailed from Littleport

Them wooden pullys could be for mocking up, working out ratios before turning up an ally one 🤔

£5 could not by the cable ties for that bargain, and that trailer board had a long lead you could have moved it so you could have seen lol, great video many thanks

The long, covered springs are upholstery, from under a base cushion from an armchair. Great video, all so interesting again. Thank you. Gx

Those big springs are off a garden swing seat

Your going to need a new shed just for the Kelter 😅

Christy & Norris of Broomfield Iron Works, Chelmsford, Essex Established in 1858 as manufacturers of pulverizers, hammer mills and size reduction machinery and plant.

I need to get me to some of these auctions, can never have enough random useful 'junk' (only junk til it's needed) 👍👍

Nice bud lovely lot

Well now, you got some right kelter there! Anyway, Christy and Norris used to make hammer mills for grinding corn, or in our case specifically, wheat and barley. We used to make and mix our own pig feed back in the '60s '70s and '80s and ran two Christy and Norris mills which blew the meal directly into the mixers.... The flour, which to us was just a byproduct, was blown into a collecting bag from the cyclone separators on top of the mixers. You probably could have used the flour for culinary purposes, but ours always went back into the pig meal. I couldn't really say what else they made, but Christy and Norris were still going strong into the 1980s, and possibly still are. The mills had plenty of wearing parts, and animal feed is extremely abrasive - we would regularly replace the hammers, the screens and the blowers. The mills were quite small, but damned heavy, about the same size as a large workshop air compressor, with the mill and its motor mounted side by side on a single bedplate.

My Dad makes wooden pulleys for concept/experimentation purposes mk1, if he goes to mk2 he would have found proper pulley by then.

the pullys will come in handy even if you never use em

Seeing those two monster springs - wouldn't like to see the brake shoes that they fitted.

With all those springs you'll get called Zebadee from now on! 😂

save a lot in buying bolts and stuff nice

Use the wood pulleys as a contraption to hook up to your machine at the shows hav a fellow chop wood and a lady sawing wood

Long spring are copper pipe bending springs put the spring in the pipe and bend round your nee the loop at the end is for a screw driver to pull the spring out the pipe

Christy Norris made machinery for the corn milling industry.

t hose springs out of fishing reels are huge

I remember we had a pair of chairs with long springs with a plastic coating similar to those long springs with what you said had tape on them. I wonder if they're the same type of springs, duck ? Ups ive just read @realbadtaste1 has also commented about the long springs being furniture springs. 👍

A bloke round the corner from where I used to live threw out a big tub of screws, nails and random bits of brackets and stuff. You just can't buy that sort of thing.

I like it better in the mancave shop

The trailer board has a long lead why not pick it up and put it by the door to see if the lights work🤣

The toasting form has a Welsh woman on the handle possibly Jenny Jones

You could have put the light board on the pile of wood by the driver's door, or nearby depending on cable length, watch while operate, or was it mancave mindset they had to be at the back? 😁 Anyway, keep making the videos, we all collect crap and don't throw away, even worse enjoy watching someone else's pile of it.

a Bonanza on springs wow

may be super expensive to ship it to me in the USA :)

Adam you are going to require a larger workshop 😅

Youse done right good there

Christy norris make feed mills

I think the police should be called regarding the treasure you obtained and how little you paid for it . Magic .

Both indicators were a bit intermittent

Fire wood

I wonder if the wooden ones are patterns for casting?

Full hours on the light made up lol

If you had put the trailer board down the side of van you could of seen all the lights working from front of van From andy in devon

PUt those pulleys on the wall to display

The wooden pulleys and gears are casting patterns?
