The ongoing saga of John's floor.
« on: June 08, 2011, 05:58:21 PM »
So decided to treat myself to a couple of those magnetic pickup tools that ARC sells to try to clear up a bit.
 
Strong magnet inside a closed tube, stick where all the crap is and it all sticks to the tube, place over skip, pull handle and it all  drops off - brilliant.


 
So Mark 1 test.
 
Open doors and decide to start in the front shop.


 
Starting to look a tat bit untidy, so a few applications of the bigger pick up tool and voilą.


 
Impressive or not ??
Just need to get the skip emptied now

You picked up that CNC'd X3 (I think anyway) and that other CNC machine with that?? Impressive! If those 2 machines are in your skip... you can send it my way!  :lol:

I'm impressed that a magnet shifts anything non-ferrous ...  :scratch:

What does he want with a floor anyway ??

Can't he make do with a virtual floor like the rest of us ?

I have a few modest talents. Knowing what I'm doing isn't one of them.

That's why I bought two of them, the bigger one to lift the machine up and the smaller one to clean under it.   :lol:
