That looks like an up angle adapter rather than a right angle adapter. But yeah. I got some cables with that on the end of them to let me put a switch in a cabinet that was just a little too shallow to be comfortable with the standard one getting crushed against the back.

Ah the old I cant understand the listing so I will buy one of each then trick. I did that with the HDMI angles that I needed to get a screen closer to the wall because I didnt want to go look at it when I was doing the order.

neb: A bunch of angled IEC adapters to deal with the endless amount of stuff that has power cords sticking straight out and getting in the way or making it impossible to position the thing it's powering on a shelf or rack. 

I did not know they were a thing. Will be ordering a few.

Just got my slitting saws + Mandrel for my lathe (And mill when I buy that)

Now need to make a bar to hold my MT3 ER32 collet adaptor in the lathe so it does not fall out

LOTS AND LOTS of Yak shaving going on. When I have my slitting saw sorted I can make a micrometer holder that will mount in my tool post of my lathe, so I can then use that to centre up the head of the machinist hammer I have made so I can mill a flat into the side so that I can then drill a hole that I can then thread so I can then put the handle in place....

So this week at work I have been able to go into the mechanics workshop, use their large drill press to put some holes in some heatsinks, then today used an adjustable reamer to ream the holes out for some cartridge heating elements, and use the big bandsaw to cut everything to size. Learning lots as I go, this is all new to me.

Meantime I have my 15L ultrasonic cleaning bath set up so I will be starting in the repairs of my computer collection getting ready for sale to make the space so I can have the mill. I will probably look at getting a decent Hakko vacuum desoldering station to replace my cheap when I get some spare money, the one we have at work is excellent.

I also have a farm jack delivered so that I can use this to jack out fenceposts out of the ground so that I can replace the fence (easter job).

Best part is, now I am free from daily migraines, I can actually do this, both physically and mentally.

Life is back to being effing awesome, I am having fun, I doing different stuff...

I didn't buy this but found in my RSS feeds today:

Why is AliExpress selling a blanket of the Palmerston North Council building? | The Spinoff

The item: Pond And Council Buildings Palmerston North Throw Blanket Blanket Luxury Beach Blanket blanket for winter Fluffy Soft Blankets - AliExpress

neb: Hasn't arrived, in fact haven't even ordered it, but thought this might be of interest to some, it's a mini table saw for situations where a full-sized saw will just end up tearing up whatever you're cutting. Looks pretty decent and there are links to several YT review videos, all metal chassis and perfect for cutting up smaller stuff like mouldings, plastic pipes and struts, and in my case PCBs.

Be curious what you think of it.

I appreciate your appreciation for AliExpress, Neb. Can we get a total count on items you've purchased off of AliExpress?
