Tap time

Finally got a chance to use one of the tap and die bits I inherited 12 years ago to make a new threaded hole for a bolt to go in. Never throw anything out I say!
This is the tap. The die makes the thread on the bolt.
I was renovating the 2nd stove and ended up snapping a bolt off in the hole. So the easiest thing to to was to put a new hole in beside it. To be fair I've not actually done it yet, but I have tested it out on a bit of old iron that was lying around and it worked just fine.
Also rescued a peacock butterfly that was trapped in the shed.
