Nicely done George ! It always pays to have one’s eyes peeled for other opportunities in situations like that 👍🏼

Hello RSW, Beautiful work and creativity! I briefly owned ( about 3 years ago) a 1937 Baldor 1021 (I think it was a w model)) and it was a beautiful machine. It weighed about 178# ! No stand unfortunately, its footprint was massive. Anyway, I ended up speaking with one of the oldest living...

Toolbox Red: A random internet field sample as applied to the paper towel mount, vs a vintage box (as backdrop for color comparison) and Rustoleum’s Can.

Cool box George. Even cooler price!😁😎 If it’s a 65, it matches my year as well. If you’re able to discern the model number could you please post it here if possible? If you’re going to use an aerosol , my understanding is that Rustoleum Gloss Apple Red is a near perfect match to vintage S-O...

You shouldn’t be here typing. That’s a major find if it’s original; it’s probably already gone gone gone…

Midbox is a real find. 300 minimum in my area. Tell the Mrs that whole stack would go for 500 plus where I’m at, if you could even find one; I’ve not seen ANYTHING like this combo before, just the individual pieces and those are pretty scarce. You did FANTASTIC on this buy👍🏼

It’s going to be a standout wherever it is👍🏼

She’s looking great JVI! The felt is going to be the icing on the cake. Great work.

Your chest is coming along nicely…you’re doing great work and the hardware is beautiful. Did you consider using Howard’s Restore a finish on the wood or did it warrant more serious therapy? I don’t remember much of the original condition…I can’t wait to see the final result! You

Hello SPBT, Although I’m nearly a year late in seeing your ingenious tip, I thank you for putting it out there! Very helpful and timely!

I’m 99.9% sure that the modern Irwin vise jaw inserts commonly available on EB fit the Paramo/Record vise, and I’m pretty certain that Autopts on our forum has them in his EB store! Keep this vise in the family !

I’m late to this party and can agree with the flimsiness but that paint looks VERY high quality! Nice catch Geno 👍🏼

I appreciate your interesting field observations Hakeem…IIRC, when these new CM metrics first were introduced, many thought that they were identical to MAC’s metrics, in every way; there was a thread here about them and many believed they both came from the same factory.. Does anyone believe...

I just checked online. It’s commonly available as a reproduction item, although it’s a glue on plastic part nowadays. If yours is die cast metal ( from the 60s or 70s) then it’s a major score….not sure if they were plastic back then or not.

That’s a great find and the Hurst emblem is probably worth at least $40 by itself.
