This prize goes to the angle grinder fitted with wire brush - removed paint, encrusted goat shit and a whole lot more from the GS engine protection bars within minutes.
Second prize goes to the wheelie bin, without which I would probably have lost a few limbs.
I am confused. I thought this might be a Guess What It Is competition.
ReplyDeleteNo prizes then?

ReplyDeleteWhat a good idea!
As I have suggested already what it is and what I use it for, maybe other readers could suggest other uses?
I could give Airmiles or Nectar points as prizes!

Nice angle grinder - but I don't like the look the welding on that gusset. I would have brazed it.
ReplyDeleteI've only used a wire brush in an angle grinder once. It snatched and nearly took my arm off. It ended up half-way across the garden, entwined in its own cable. Never again.
ReplyDeleteHow about starting up in business as a tattoo remover?
ReplyDeleteSpear & Jackson are the tools to trust.
I'm still wondering where you ride that you pick up all that goat shit?
ReplyDeleteI can hazard a guess about the goat shit - it's the wheelie bin saving life and limb that has me intrigued. Do you wear it?
ReplyDeleteRegrettably, my angle grinder is several years kaput, must get a cheapo to replace it. My circular saw died too, but at least that has been replaced with a good 'un.
Look forward to more handy engineering hints Nikos!

That was bad luck - I've never had a problem quite like that

You are being considered for the Airmiles prize

Dear Nikos:
ReplyDeleteIt is one thing to take risks, but stupid risks are never justifiable. What purpose does it serve to do "wheelies" in a bin? While I'm sure some skill is involved getting part of the container into the air, who really cares? Who is impressed with this sort of thing? And putting crash bars on the bin isn't really going to do much for the safety factor either.
I never realized that goats had A) an opinion as to kind of bikes people ride; B) the ability to express it by focusing their anal tracts; and C) a way in which to adjust the velocity and trajectory of their shit to hit a moving target. (I assume the target was moving. Who would stand still while a goat aimed their ass at them?)
Once again, your blog raises more questions than it answers. Thank God you don't live in Canada, where people who persist in trhis sort of unsettling behavior are made to sit in the "comfy chair."
Do respond soonest.
Fondest regards,

Dear Mr Riepe,
ReplyDeleteThere is far to much in your post of bodily functions, and of certain organs, that would be best left unspoken.
Dear Nikos:
ReplyDeleteNo one expects the Spanish Inquisition.

Ha! See now, I am generally not considered safe to be around power tools but my mind is in overdrive trying to picture how the wheelie bin actually helped!
ReplyDeleteThat thing just looks mean! Regular finger ravaged down to bone in 0.25 seconds flat!
ReplyDeleteKeep all body parts covered!
