I'll cut the material with my compound mitre saw but I'll use this to clamp the moulding in to place to shoot it with brad nails.

I do plan on using this as I have a bunch of old moulding around from my custom framing days that I'd like to turn into some usable/sell-able frames.

I picked up this Stanley No. 400 Miter Vise (USA) a couple of weeks ago. Years back I used to use one like this for building custom picture frames for a local shop. I'm undecided if I should try and restore it or just use it as is. Thoughts? Sent from my SM-G920W8 using Tapatalk

Thanks so much! I think they're amazing and love the style and work of the engraving in the handles. I love hearing the history on the different tools, especially during war eras when certain materials were limited.

Nice finds! Unfortunately around my parts we don't have many flea markets or swap meets. You guys have all the luck! Sent from my SM-G920W8 using Tapatalk

I'm resurrecting an old thread here but here's my addition, a Witherby drawknife I picked up this weekend for $5. Sent from my SM-G920W8 using Tapatalk

I appreciate the response, honesty is something that's missing all to often in this day and age. I bought it all with the intention of selling it but to be honest I think I'd rather start a collection. The spokeshave and draw knife are both Stanley and in fantastic condition. The draw knife is...

It also got my all the wrenches and the set of bit drivers. Plus the pliers. I love those pliers, I've never seen a set with markings on the handle like those before. Sent from my SM-G920W8 using Tapatalk

So I picked up the sockets and some extras. Here's what I got. Most of this is either =v= or - v-. A couple of Stanley items and an indestro supro wrench. What do you think? I paid $160 cdn. Sent from my SM-G920W8 using Tapatalk

I'm loving all these stories about the =v= craftsman tools. I'm meeting up with the seller of this set on Saturday, I'll post photos after I purchase them.

My problem is I'll buy something saying that I'll resell them but I just end up keeping everything, haha. It's really only a problem for my wife.

Wow, those prices are crazy. I guess I'm picking this up today.
