I've not spilled much claret for a long time now, long may it last🤞🏻

Thanks for watching 👍🏻

@@timeflysintheshop Hi there, how you keeping? It was a 4" wick off Ebay, about the only thing you can still get for these stoves. I will give it another go at boiling a kettle and maybe time it. We've got so used to things doing what we want, when we want, that sometimes it's good sit sit back a wait. The jobs going OK, thanks, I think it'll tick all the boxes for the time being.

@Bloodshed.restorations I am keeping as well as I can. We went out and got our Christmas tree yesterday. Are fresh cut Christmas trees a thing over there? We finally found the piston we needed for tne 1977 YZ250 on Ebay and got the cylinder bored. My son really wanted to take it to his friends birthday event to ride it at the farm. He got it put together, but did not have time to tune it. While tuning it there, he lost the idle screw so it would not run properly. The father of his friend let him ride his modern 250 and my son crashed it! Neither he nor the bike were totally wrecked, but both damaged. My son was able to ride it back, but he and the bike will need some work! We got a second dog. I would really rather simplifymy life at this point, but my wife seems intent to keep complicating it!

We've got several fresh tree farms around the area but we still with an artificial, pre-lit tree in our house, I used to get fed up of putting the lights on. Sounds like it could have been worse for your lad, hope he gets over it quickly. Look forward to seeing the bike once its up and running, I've got to get round to sorting my bikes out at some point and hope to get at least one roadworthy at some point in ths next decade or so😁. Take it easy👍🏻

I wouldn't put anything past that chap! I've got good hopes for the JB weld repair though🤞🏻

@@la973 Thanks for watching, nice to know that there's another cat out there wagging it's tail!😁

I was wondering what they were for as it hasn't enough power to main or destroy! It's a good bit of unknown history though, don't think the local pests have much to worry about!😁

@@mrvinson1 I wouldn't use one that's important, power steering, abs etc. I used the one for the cigarette lighter as I didn't have an unused live fuse.

@@MattsGarage1791 he's a temperamental little chap but I've learned my lesson now! It's the first time I've used heat and linseed oil, it has a nice colour to it, hope it lasts.

@@Uwannawatch I'm almost praying for a downfall again, just so I can get my log burner and this stove going. If the crocs not careful, he'll be the first on the grill. The shed is my domain!!!😁

@@ivanstiles7030 thanks mate, I did wonder how good a repair it would, guess only time will tell. I showed my parents a photo of it and they said they'd never heard of them, they're in the 80's! It'll sit proudly in the shed, hopefully increasing in value, and dust of course😁

@@Dalesworkshop Hi Dale, I did think about taking it on a camping trip but I'm trying to fit a double gas stove into the van at the moment, think it will remain in the shed fornthe foreseeable.

Thanks 👍🏻

That's then idea, if I can get hold of one 👍🏻

They certainly took me back in time, only seems like yesterday! Thanks for watching 👍🏻

Thought I'd find a like minded reflector fan out there somewhere, tried to be discrete about it but guess I was not discrete enough! I'll display it in the shed, keep an eye out for it 😁👍🏻

​@@Bloodshed.restorations ...CatEye

@@timeflysintheshop hi, how you keeping? It's a good question, wasn't really happy with the old one and I've felt like a change, also changed my shed workbench around (needed doing) and my job too. Think I'm going through a "phase" at the moment 😁

@Bloodshed.restorations Well, I am keeping one day at a time. These are worriesome times for me. Thanks for asking. We all need some change from time to time. Changing jobs takes more than a bit of courage. How is it working out for you so far? What are you doing now? Hmmm let me guess. Motorcycle mechanic? :)

@@timeflysintheshop nothing to do with bikes, unfortunately. I start on Tuesday and it's a "washroom service driver", basically driving around changing air freshers, bins etc in washrooms. It's about the only job I can really do because of the dodgy back! Much more local, less hours and less responsibility🤞🏻

@Bloodshed.restorations It sounds like a low stress job which sounds great to me! Though low stress jobs usually don't pay very well over here. I hope it works out well for you. There is a company here in the USA called Cintas which our company uses for several services. One of the services it to maintain our first aid cabinets. A guy comes in once a week and checks the cabinets to see what needs replaced/refilled and he keeps the stuff topped up from a supply in his vehicle. I assume he has a regular route which has him stopping at specific locations each day of the week. The service is a contract so the guy does not need to sell anything and the stuff he handles is all very lightweight; pills, bandages(plasters to you), & he checks to see if the batteries are still good in the AED's. If your new job does not work out, maybe you could find something like that? Good luck! Hang in there! Keep doing what feels most rewarding.

@Bloodshed.restorations Hey Alex, I don't know if you live relatively close to any of the other UK tool guys, but have you considered meeting up with one of them? You could just visit and make a sort of collaborative video by filming a visit to their shop/shed. Or go to a car boot sale together, or a museum related to industrial history or something. The UK is so much smaller than here, it feels like you must live less than an hours drive from someone like Reggyontheroad, The tool addict, Everythings adjustable, etc... I know Reggy is a motorhead too, you guys could have a good time if you can handle his Wales accent! :)

@@MattsGarage1791 that ball peen will look great with a good clean up. I'm working on my American English but don't feel i can commit full time to it and won't give up drinking cups of tea just yet. I've not got a peen hammer that big so I better find somewhere good to display it.

@Bloodshed.restorations haha, don't change a thing! workshop space seems to be an international issue!

@@Dalesworkshop Hi, I've been clearing out the shed and fitting a new work top, getting ready for the new projects. Have a good one yourself, my friend.

@@xlfive thanks, I've got a few Gilbow ones already and thought the same because of the colour. Couldn't find and names on them but they're all due a good clean up.

Cheers, I was never any good at learning foreign languages but I'll get there😂. That wrench is going to get a good clean up soon, once I've fitted a new workbench top! It's never ending. Have a good weekend 👍🏻

@@Everythings_Adjustable thanks, good to hear from you, hope your keeping well 👍🏻

I'm good thanks Mate, just busy 👍

@Everythings_Adjustable know the feeling well👍🏻

Glad you found it useful, thanks for watching 👍🏻

@@josephsaucedo8691 hi, yes, I noticed that the original bolts have thread lock on them, I'm going ro do this when I've finally got round to fitting all of the accessories and it's completed, when ever that may be. Thanks for watching 👍🏻

@@Dalesworkshop cheers, my friend, life in the shed has been more comfortable since andc I've had many a cup of tea sat on it.

I've got a go to wooden handled Stanley Philips that get use all the time. It was the wife's idea to go Instagram, I still can't work it out properly!

@@Bloodshed.restorations Ya it's a little tricky but if you want look through my list so you can find all of our buddies. It won't take long until you get the hang of it. You gotta post Crocky!

@Uwannawatch don't want him to feel left out😁

@@MattsGarage1791 cheers, it's become my most useful project so far, I think. Have to be comfortable in the shed and give the old legs a break 😁

Cheers, yes love their accessories, would become pricey very quickly, would look good though. Particularly like the stocks👌🏻

@ we here are maybe lucky. Buck rail is working on getting a selling point on mainland Europe . I have also one a little bit modified . Have a great evening

@@xlfive thanks, born out of necessity with my dodgy back! It's one of the most used things in my shed. Thanks for watching 👍🏻

I had to got and check out the pp700w and it looks and sounds like a great bit of kit. I've got a few more mods planned for this, when I get time to do them, and it's turning out to be a lot of fun to work on. I've only just for back into guns, even thought I've used them in work (pest control) for the lasy 20 years, and can't believe how much has changed in the gun world! Thanks for watching 👍🏻

That'll be a bit above my budget but I do like the ability to customise these little guns. Did you get it gold plated? 😁👍🏻

@ 🤣 chrome plated and polished on the trigger frame, main tube, barrel and steel breech, stainless steel cnc’d trigger and safety, custom stock from Martin Hird (Hirdhawks) stainless bolt upgrade etc etc it’s a shame I can’t post pictures here🤷‍♂️ I think you’d like it😉

@AdamMcCool-01 sounds amazing, I have been looking for a longer barrel but they seem to be like hens teeth at the moment. Try not to compare my efforts too much! 😁

@ try the Airgun Forum, you’ll have to get interactive and post 50 times before they let you on the sales section but I guarantee you’ll find one there. Do you have a TH-cam email so I can contact you?

@@AdamMcCool-01 cheers, there's an email in my channel description 👍🏻

Thanks for watching 👍🏻

Yes, it can be done, we just have to be careful about power output etc. Adding a longer barrel and the stock would allow it to go over the 6ft/lb power that an air pistol can produce. I think the minimum length for a rifle in the UK is 600mm, including a 300mm barrel.

@@Bloodshed.restorations be very very careful brother the barrel must be over 12 inches and the overall length must be more than 24 inches to be deemed to be a rifle, however, if the gun was originally manufactured as a pistol ( like the 2240) I’d be keeping it below 6 ft/lb otherwise you do run the risk of a section 5 offence….. 5 years mandatory!🫣

@@AdamMcCool-01 yes I'm not planning on going over the limit, hence why I'm keeping my chronograph very handy, and my disclaimer. I'll be testing any upgrades I do with a new CO2 cannister too, no point getting a higher power on a half used cannister. Thanks for watching, appreciate it👍🏻

It came with the chronograph, saves a lot of time of adjustment Thanks for watching 👍🏻

Not allowed silencers of any kind in canada...stupid

They're fun guns to upgrade, I've got more plans ahead for it, helps that the gun was given to me by my dad but still spent a bit on it already! Could get expensive for a project.

Always surprises me with some of the laws that come out, always best to be careful with guns, that's why I'm using a chronograph, especially with filming it. Thanks for watching 👍🏻

Would need a lot of paperwork for one of those in the UK, unfortunately.

It's turning out to be a nice project, forgotten how much I love tinkering with airguns, along with other things.

@@Dalesworkshop my dad has been getting rid of his airguns because he's getting on a bit and not able to cope as well. I keep buying things that he wants to sell! Think I've got 10 pistols and rifles now, picked up a box of old tools from him today so that's a video for another time

@@Bloodshed.restorations looking forward to that video.

@@BernadetteBones-u9t thanks for watching, mine stopped again after a few weeks, cleaned it again and it's still going strong.

Cheers, it had definitely seen better days! It was a fun project and is taking a well earned retirement now.

@@Bloodshed.restorations lol! I love old guns

@@Uwannawatch 😂 it's getting there buddy. Still so much more to do. We're looking forward to getting some use out of it, next year now, as long as it behaves itself!

@@Dirt-Diggler thanks, I never knew that, they really are a pain. £9 sounds like a good investment, it's slowly getting there but I'm loving every minute of ownership.

Enjoy yourself over there, hopefully there's no rain in Spain! See what you mean about the Ska look, purely coincidental😁

​@@Bloodshed.restorationsProphetic words, Alex. I was in Calpe, Costa Blanca, during the storms that devastated the region surrounding (but not including) the wife and I. Now in Valencia where, sadly, the area very close by was devastated. About Project Lemon: did you buy the wee cottages in your kitchenette from St. Ives? I'm planning on a seashore/sailing theme for mine....dreckley! One strip of checkered wrap looks good, Alex. Put two on and I think it'll resemble a stumpy lass wearing wide-legged trousers 😂😳🤭

P. S. I found WiFi!

@@kinhelfa I got the cottages from the Mousehole shop, in Mousehole surprisingly enough. Glad to hear your both OK but can't have been a pleasant experience for you or anyone in those areas! Our house has pictures and all sorts to remind us of Cornwall, the wife says she wants her ashes scattered in St Ives Harbour so I'm off to buy the largest incinerator I can find to make her wish come true😂

@@MattsGarage1791 cheers, sometimes it's better to.learn by our mistakes! 😁

@@kinhelfa cheers mate, I did toy with the idea of a hatch awning and am keeping an eye out for a cheap one. I did get a cheap roof box too and that's just getting filled up with crap that was in the van😁 I've been doing some long overdue interior design on it at the moment so I've got another video coming out soon, it's just getting a dry day to do it all in! The vans just a mess at the moment but it's slowly getting there. It's proving to be very reliable so far, hence the lack of videos!

@@Dalesworkshop on my own, I'd be happy just in the van but with two, it makes more sense. We're hoping to get some cheap breaks by the coast next year🤞🏻

@@Uwannawatch I must say, it will definitely make trips easier, shame we didn't get to use it but the wife was right, it wouldn't have been nice going, feeling as rough as we did. I just hope she doesn't read this, I'd never hear the last of it, admitting she was right about something!😁

@@fix_old thank you kindly 👍🏻

Could be a good business opportunity there😁. I think they look great after a good clean up, I'm not far from Birmingham so I guess that's why there's quite a few around here, lucky me!

Glad it helped, ours has been wagging its tail for months after a good clean.

@@gboutdoors5198 cheers, same here, I won't touch PCPs, I did a strip down on an SMK QB78 a good few years ago and it was shockingly bad internally, rough edges everywhere, took me a few hours to get it cleaned up and running smoothly. Molly is nosey and loves to see what I'm up to but never offers to help.

@Bloodshed.restorations I love cats they are soo funny! I have to learn how a PCP works; it's a bit more complicated than a multi-pump BB gun lol!
