Tiggie Posted May 26, 2020 Posted May 26, 2020 Yes I know it looks fugly and needs a good clean!! I plan to give it a good clean and scrape and whack a few cans of hi-temp spray on it at some point.It was made by my Wifes dad years ago, since he died its been sat in the corner of the garden rusting away. I asked her mum if I could take it and she said please take it now!! Quote
Ian Frog Posted May 26, 2020 Posted May 26, 2020 LMAO I was expecting a pic of your hedge on fire because of the Coleman stove ! CheersIan Quote

Tiggie Posted May 26, 2020 Author Posted May 26, 2020 Its a bloody heavy thing!! It looks like he made it from an old 47kg gas bottle. The bit with the handle used to open and shut but is rusted solid at moment. I'm actually amazed the Wife is happy for it to go in the garden Quote

[mention]Mississippi Bullfrog[/mention] His Mrs could probably get rid of him permanently and leave little or no evidence if that thing runs as well as I suspect it can.CheersIan Quote
Tiggie Posted May 26, 2020 Author Posted May 26, 2020 I do worry sometimes about the amount of insurance thats been taken out on me loss of life & limb, critical illness etc, she has me covered for every eventuality Quote
Ian Frog Posted May 26, 2020 Posted May 26, 2020 You are probably fooked then !Who gets the bike in your will?CheersIan Quote
Tiggie Posted May 26, 2020 Author Posted May 26, 2020 Its in boxes at moment so could probably be posted pretty easily Quote
Tiggie Posted May 26, 2020 Author Posted May 26, 2020 Picked up these as well while I was there. Felt like a kid at Christmas This was mixed in with the screws, Snap-on!! bet the poor sod was looking all over for it at one point (not a 10mm sadly, that would of been too perfect!) Quote
Mr Fro Posted May 26, 2020 Posted May 26, 2020 Might be time for a citric acid bath for that burner!Looks good though. Quote
Stu Posted May 26, 2020 Posted May 26, 2020 I'm actually amazed the Wife is happy for it to go in the garden Sentimental! it was her dads just have a right good burn or two in that and most of the rust will fall off just get it red hot Quote

Its nice to use some tools that used to be his and no-one else in the family would know what half the stuff in there was for anyway!We were all pottering around in his shed just after he died, sorting stuff into piles etc when I was handed a strange looking thing. I had a look and realised it was a stand to turn an angle grinder into a chop saw for cutting steel pipes. Told them what it was and the reply I got was "I dont even know what an angle grinder is, let alone a stand for one" Quote

Guest Richzx6r Posted May 26, 2020 Posted May 26, 2020 That looks brilliant tiggie, hopefully it won't take too much to clean it up and get everything working......fyi I have plenty of wood to burn just been to get a load and it was 3 full car loads of it Quote
Tiggie Posted May 26, 2020 Author Posted May 26, 2020 Might get a bigger pipe so it clears house and stops upstairs stinking out!! Nowhere else it'll go in garden really Quote

Tiggie Posted May 26, 2020 Author Posted May 26, 2020 I quite like the dark fruits. Love a good pear cider but they seem to be out of fashion now, nowhere is selling nice ones Quote
