Colin Lindsay Posted September 9, 2016 Report Share Posted September 9, 2016 H y'all - I need a few of this style of bolt to rebuild a new sandblast cabinet I'm working on; the head is perfectly cylindrical with no taper or dome. Anyone know the proper name so I can search for some stainless ones in 8 x 1.25? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris A Posted September 9, 2016 Report Share Posted September 9, 2016 All that comes to mind is "Bernie, the bolt!" You need to be of a certain age to remember that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clive Posted September 9, 2016 Report Share Posted September 9, 2016 Cheese head machine screws. I think.... Pan heads are thinner. Goodness knows why there are so many variations on what should be so simple. Saying that, has anybody noticed how many types of woodscrew are now available? Confuses me no end.

dougbgt6 Posted September 9, 2016 Report Share Posted September 9, 2016 Yeh, I think you're right, slotted cheese head. I got a stubby ratchet screwdriver last Christmas, it came with FIFTY different screw heads! Extraordinary. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris A Posted September 10, 2016 Report Share Posted September 10, 2016 Cheese head. I'm also a cheese head, if I take less than 5 cheeses from the plateau de fromage in either of our regular restaurants they think I must be ill. Actually I only eat the cheeses as an excuse to have another glass of red. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colin Lindsay Posted September 11, 2016 Author Report Share Posted September 11, 2016 Thanks guys I'll go with Cheese Head. Incidentally, here's one of the reasons I love this forum - four diversions from the original question in only eight replies. It's like a virtual natter round a pub table. Yes I do remember Bernie the Bolt, not to mention Anne Aston as well.... ooooohhhh... similarly I have a huge container of woodscrews all of which have three specimens per type when I require four matching ones. Anyone eaten Sheep's cheese? Last time in Greece..... I was sober too. And finally... bl&&dy spellchecker asks me "did you mean Ship's theese" WHAT?????

dougbgt6 Posted September 11, 2016 Report Share Posted September 11, 2016 Ah, Greece! I love Feta cheese even if it is made from sheep's milk (or sometimes goat's) also the deep fried onion rings called Calamari and the drink called ooze. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris A Posted September 11, 2016 Report Share Posted September 11, 2016 Sheep cheese, goat cheese, cow cheese love them all. I finished off some goat's cheese a couple of days ago and today Mrs Me tells me it was for a salad tomorrow,oops. We had feta cheese salad yesterday. All that is left in the fridge now is a started plus a whole Camembert, living in the Orne it is a local product, an unopened Roquefort, sheep milk, and English cheddar - how did that get in there- to prove I've nothing against foreign cheeses. As we are having pork with apple sauce (apples from the garden) this evening I guess I'll have a cheese sandwich for lunch. As I said I'm a cheese head. Oh, Calamari isn't onion rings but squid. Love it, can't wait until the end of the month when we drive down to Spain for 4 weeks and will find it on menus all round the coast. Am I drifting from the original thread here, Ok the bolt shown is a cheese head a pan head is different, now pan fried squid... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dougbgt6 Posted September 11, 2016 Report Share Posted September 11, 2016 Yes. I know it's squid. That was a joke. Try and keep up. When my kids found out it was easy to convince them that the Greek pizza was topped with cat's milk cheese. They lived on corn flakes for the rest of the holiday.

Chris A Posted September 11, 2016 Report Share Posted September 11, 2016 Yes. I know it's squid. That was a joke. Try and keep up. Food, especialy cheese and squid, is far too important to joke about, although tête de veau can cause some reaction. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colin Lindsay Posted September 11, 2016 Author Report Share Posted September 11, 2016 the drink called ooze. Ooze, eh? Ouzo, no less.... plus Tsiporo, Mythos beer and the other staples of life in the cradle of democracy. Not to mention a certain clear concoction with which my mate Stavros filled my glass, and when asked what it was tapped his nose and replied: "Even the Government doesn't know about this stuff...."

dougbgt6 Posted September 11, 2016 Report Share Posted September 11, 2016 Even the Government doesn't know about this stuff...." Not surprising. the Greek government isn't very good at collecting tax. I remember a taxi driver taking me past a house with a pool. They had the pool cover on, it was astro turf! "That's odd, look at that pool". Says I. "It's not a pool, it's a lawn", Says the Taxi driver. Pools are/were taxed in Greece. Not a lot of people know that.

Something for the tool box? Aldi do a gold wrapped cheddar which blows your taste buds Pete pete Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dougbgt6 Posted September 12, 2016 Report Share Posted September 12, 2016 Pete excellent news! You'll have her back soon and be inserting cheese head screws all over the place. Did you see what I did there? Seamlessly returned to thread! The trouble with Aldi is there's never the same stuff twice. I bought an excellent 7 piece ratchet spanner set from them, lent it to the son-in-law, only got 4 back! Could I get another set? Not at Aldi. Halfords have them, but 5 times the price! Woops, sorry, slipped again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Colin Lindsay Posted September 13, 2016 Author Report Share Posted September 13, 2016 Isn't thread something that pokes out of the seams of your seats? So thread drift is where you go round a corner too quickly and the thread slides sideways. Anyway must go and search Fa**y stretchers on the Net..... might give me as much of a selection as my search for 'Chelsea Blue'. I was looking for a shade of paint. How was I know to know it was an 'exotic' female? Some of the photos still give me sleepless nights... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
