Booze!

Today you join me in sacred ground where the magic happens, that being in the fabrication shed.
Bunch of old (guy selling seemed to reckon 1920s, I am not sure at this point) industrial shelving hardware. Between two and three sets of each style here. Might have preferred it had it been domestic use with the options to mount to a wall rather than needing some angle or a beam or something but I am not complaining. £20 for the lot.

and the first thing I have ever purchased for myself off ebay; apparently they do guest checkout these days which is nice. Anyway the third edition of this book, which despite being published in 1993 still retails at quite high for a battered second hand copy (not as much as the related Smithells one mind you) so when some French book clearance place was shifting this for just over £10 I jumped at the chance. It finally arrived this morning. Bonus is it seems things which from similar smaller reference books are still in this and very nice for me, and it what it still contains misses nothing I particularly care about for my reference/day to day use. Comes from Cesta (French military nuclear research group) which was also cool.

Only problem now is I did rearrange my shelves book stack in anticipation of this arriving but promptly found some really nice 1920s chemistry books this weekend and now have to do some more fiddling

Just bought a couple of used swiss army knives. I'm conflicted about buying copper scales and reselling the larger one (Climber, resembles the model I had growing up) for $150, but it's fine. My obsession with the brand is getting a little stupid.
