Anyone want this too?

Another item from my recent clearout, nearly forgot it actually!
On the basis that I never throw anything away, this SEL grinder base was saved from the tip. As you'll see it's Oh hell! at the top, the bits are missing and it's difficult to know how it could be re-used! Still If anyone's got any ideas they're more than welcome to it for the cost of the postage - shouldn't be much.





PM me - first come, first served!

gees you are as bad as me .Never throw any thing away as  (It might be useful one day)and judging by the look of the bench I hope it is used for more than just attacking steam things . Laughing  Laughing

Hmmmm, I see a lineshaft, or atleast a countershaft for something!

Still, I have the Bowman base so I won't be greedy Laughing

The 'bench' is another example of my 'magpieishness' - it's an old cutting board the my father-in-law used for years. It sits over the freezer (in the garage) and doubles up se a work surface!
