Ay up!

Brake caliper - check

Fittings kit - check

Pin punch set - check

Just waiting for the 1lb recoilless hammer to arrive. Somehow I think Fifi is going to regret winding me up like this. At all the talk of large hammers arriving the Wallet has gone into hiding. Among the snarling and gnashing of teeth, I'm sure it said "Boobowrie."

Watch yerself, Manna. You could have a breeding population!

Yorkshire Single Malt? I like the sound of that!

The pins in the calipers have rusted solid, hence the need for large hammers and pin punches.

Thursday. That's when the blows will ring out. Thursday.

Haven't seen or heard from Wallet for a day or three. Hiding? Or emigrated?

G'day Gents

We have quite a few pairs of breeding hammers, running wild in the hills around Booborowie, easy to catch, you just leave a bag 'o nails laying around. :shock:

Caught a couple of claw hammers last summer, left them in the shed over winter, now I've got a lovely little Toffee hammer to play with :roll:

There's an idea. A stud farm for hammers.

Now, how would I start off......

Ay up, Mr B!

Not being a member of RMWeb, that doesn't worry me.

Found the Wallet - hiding behind a bookcase. It came with merely a sigh....
