Acquired a few new toys  just need a bit of a clean up and repaint and then need to find some more workshop space

Nice haul  :thumbup: I've always fancied a set of sheet metal rolls - don't have a need for them but just fancy some  :ddb: Having said that I was given a very small vice mounted set - about 9" wide I suppose - and on the few occasions I've used them they've proved indispensable.

I suppose it's like all tools - they all eventually come in useful  :clap:

I thought you were all set up for laundry service what with the industrial mangle and starched sheet folder behind      :lol:

All unloaded and the folder is in shed no 2 waiting to be sorted ,  Just need a bigger shed .
Poor old tractor needs a bit of tlc  as half way through unloading the clutch return spring broke and I was having to lift the clutch pedal up with my foot defiantly a bit dodgy

The rolls are very old as I think they where installed in about 1880 the keys are fitted to flats on the shaft and a flat filed in the gear
