Another Sunday, another round of buying tools from people that don't know what they have, though in this case sort of knew what they had.

Rapier 600 jointer plane (the rule below it is a standard 12 in rule), loving it. Despite knackering my back getting it all back up the hill (was not doing well and then I fell off the skateboard when loaded down with everything) I tried it out and it is a dream. Contrary to what previous "FAST6191 buys tools" sessions might have you believe I do actually know how to spend money in greater sums than £10, mainly as that, the 78 rabbet plane (sadly it had been silver soldered back together, not in the best fashion either but it works which is what I wanted) and the spokeshave came to £30. Later I found a rusty old plane blade with a bit of meat on it and no cracks that fits the jointer plane as well which done me nicely.

+miscellaneous screws,tools, hardware and such like I normally do and all else you might see. DS game is just 100 classic book collection because why not. The other book is a 1918 book on reinforced concrete.

Of course the find of the day

£4 along with that plane in the cardboard box.
But FAST6191, you say, it is an old keyboard (yeah it is ps/2) without even a windows key. a) you say no windows key like it is a bad thing and b) it is a mechanical keyboard. Probably should clean it before using it more though.

My sister gave me her PHAT PS2 today, because she never uses it :)

Time to shove an HDD in it :D
I just recently started messing with mine again. I'm going to be trying to use POPS-00001 from USB/HDD with the .pax thing. I remember when this first released you needed to hex edit each game and partition it. etc. but it looks easier to do now ps1 booting from HDD would be great!!

I would have probably still got it should it have been an AT connector. It converts to ps/2 just fine and I still have a bunch of adapters in my tray of connectors and electrical bits.

I did have a keyboard with a serial extension on it as well, however I gave it to someone and it was one of those awful "natural" things anyway.

If you could get yourself a backlite mod, it's even better.

    I want a 120hz 4k tv but crazy how more expensive the 120hz over the 60hz are. Or even more crazy is the price of 8k's.
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    No real point since movies are 30fps
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    Not a big movie buff, more of a gamer tbh. And Series X is 120hz 8k ready, but yea only 120hz 4k games out right now, but thinking of in the future.
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    Mostly why you never see TV manufacturers going post 60hz
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    I only watch tv when i goto bed, it puts me to sleep, and I have a nas drive filled w my fav shows so i can watch them in order, commercial free. I usually watch Married w Children, or South Park

  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    I got my Dad a firestick for Xmas and showed him those 3rd party sites on Kodi, he loves it, all he watches anymore. He said he has got 3 letters from AT&T already about pirating, but he says f them, let them shut my internet off (He wants out of his AT&T contract anyways)

  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
