Ke1t Posted January 25, 2022 Share Posted January 25, 2022 Bought myself a #33 Wood Plane, some wood chisels, and am looking around for a manual hand drill. Tried 3 tool shops, none of them had a manual hand drill. One of them even asked if it was "An Amish thing" I was doing. Hand drills on Amazon look fucking garbage. Might have to pick up an antique Billy on ebay. Link to comment

The Buzzard Posted January 30, 2022 Share Posted January 30, 2022 Bought 2 Bose Bluetooth speakers from my mate earlier. Fucking useless with these things but think I have managed to get them paired up now, only to have the sudden realisation that I really don't need them. Link to comment

Terrific sound and hold a charge for a decent while. No complaints over the sound from these either. They are an older model but in perfect working order and got both for less than the price listed here (plus a canvas painting and a couple of lamps!). https://www.bose.co.uk/en_gb/products/speakers/smart_home/soundtouch_family/soundtouch-10-wireless-system.html#v=soundtouch_10_black_eu_gb_ie Link to comment
