Column up the back with a grinding head on it and you have the start of a T&C grinder.

Mind you it's probably shagged to be in the skip in the first place ...................

I have a few modest talents. Knowing what I'm doing isn't one of them.

A Gismo ??? If it has a flywheel or spins and is made with small parts. I'll take one! If it makes noise, moves, or requires frequent oiling and dusting it's a better deal yet. It's especially right if its shiny and bright; but if it's dirty and dull it wont mater at all...
