The custom made Outlander Infinity Scarf has landed in Scotland. Very appropriate we feel. Thanks #litographs it’s a beauty.

@jillreidy Love yours too on the upper floor of Number 5!

@saranaidinecox I love her!

@OhNoItsSteve Great news. Let's hope that it leads to a bright future!

@LHWhitehead @Spareparts_Fest @OldhamCouncil Really sad to have missed Oldham this year. Would have loved to be there. Perhaps next year?

@OhNoItsSteve That's a scary scene if you are under 19 or if you have a pre-existing condition at any other age!

@OhNoItsSteve I have plenty of pages still to post, if needed. Plus a whole other book from 1953. Thank you for your kind wishes. All the best to you and yours!

So, this is, the last Gadget of the Day post! I always planned to stop after the lifting of restrictions and that's where we are now. I hope that you have enjoyed them. I hope NOT to be back!

Year 2 Day 103 Gadget of the Day 1955
I looked at this as I was scanning it and I thought of the Ladybird book of Wires, Lamps and Batteries. I loved that book. It was full of projects like this. I think I might try it again now...

Year 2 Day 102 Gadget of the Day 1955
Ecology and conservation in 1955 - or is it simply Economics? Now we know where our shillings go we can be more careful to save the pennies! Get tyres with less grip, cool and exhaust less too.

Year 2 Day 101 Gadget of the Day 1955
The Editor wants us to be clean, if today's tips are anything to go by! My aluminium saucepans are long gone - because they were so hard to clean. Rusty tools is another matter. Will try this!

@bornstoodup @Rachelwoodarts1 @OldhamCouncil @Spareparts_Fest WOW! Urban Astronaut are one of my big favourites! Will fight to be there!

@Spareparts_Fest @cbigley02 @ace_thenorth @wyrecouncil I can't wait to see people interacting with this installation, the soundscape and the comments! Wonderful.

Year 2 Day 100 Gadget of the Day 1955
Glass table tops were a rarity in the 1950s and quite a-la-mode. They were still popular in the 1970s but nobody was making their own by then and they usually had chrome legs. Have a go at this!

Year 2 Day 99 Gadget of the Day 1955
Deluxe Draughtsmen, the concept is hard to resist but the method looks rather too complex for a simple human like me with no real metal mangling skills. Played draughts for hours as a child!

@OhNoItsSteve Wow Steve, are you writing the Gadgets Annual 2021? I think that you should!

Year 2 Day 98 Gadget of the Day 1955
Now that we have a Notch Cutter, see earlier gadget, we can notch wood to make it bendy. I actually think that you might need a saw for this one but what do I know? Either way, rounded wood!
