"How would I determine which part number would work with my Liberty safe? Do I have to do any fab work, or is it a bolt-in replacement?" The four screw mounting pattern of the lock--e-lock or dial--are standard and are interchangeable--norm brand and model Liberty safes are an easy...

Your safe lock is warning you of trouble. I've heard that description many time; and eventually it locks you out. Then the expense is a safe tech "opening" your safe plus a new lock.. The lock you mention is a quality lock, but e-locks are known for problems. The S&G mentioned the post...

Glad you were able to get it opened. My suggestion: do not tempt your luck; do not close and lock the door Replace that e-lock with a S&G series 6700 dial lock. The 6730, already mentioned, has a closer tolerance on dialing of +/_ 1/2 number; for those spinning the dial fast and having...

The Jet is 3 speed. I would compare it to a 3 speed box fan for low and medium; high may be a bit louder. I have had no problem finding the exterior filters for it; I think Ace and W/M have both had them. They are 12 x 24 if I recall correctly. The interior filter is cloth and a...

I have the Jet unit, and have used it for 5 or 6 years. Yes, they work very well

Excellent . Thanks for the information and taking the time to share

Catalog for 1967 and 1963 list and show image of the item 1961 only notes 2 pages of a catalog, and not this tool Catalog for 1960 lists the tool but the image is of a much different design. No catalog listed for '66, '65, '64, or '62, Thanks for the link to catalogs Early to mid...

Any way to determine age of a Bonney flat blade screw starter. It is 9 5/8' x 1/4" dia; magnet on one end and split blade (center spring loaded to twist) to grip screw. Top 3" is knurled for grip I found a ratchet and several sockets but this caught my attention more. Bonney No SS-29...

The can of Johnson's wax I am using is likely as old as I am; and I am 74, knocking on 75. A one pound can with no list of ingredients or formula: HO-37 on the lid. A warning statement of: " Caution Combustible mixture NYFD C of A. A caution of not to use on shellac surfaces until...

The sweeping compound has been around for many years. It greatly improves sweeping and reduces the dust. There are two compounds: One is a oil added mix and is a bit courser. The other is a wax added mix. Both work very well. I have wood flooring in the wood shop and like the wax base...

I'll add another vote for a Hustler zero turn I've had a 42" Raptor and a 54" Raptor Both gave great service and never a problem; only expense was a yearly maintenance Service from the local dealer was excellent. I sold the 42 Raptor and bought a 54" Fastrak Excellent mower It was a...

Stanley 100 was a popular model. But other companies made some very much like the Satnley My guess is this looks a bit more like a Union plane This might be a visual comparison https://www.ebay.com/b/Squirrel-Tail-Plane/13874/bn_7023275701

Yes, that is a squirrel tail plane.. Clean it, sharpen the blade, and use it I find them rather handy

"....old safe inside .... missing all the lockwork or I'd try to buy it and use it as a gun safe...." Got a picture? If only the lock pack has been removed for safety, it may be inside the safe Likely the lock can be replaced with current S&G #6730 and be fully functional. Same lock as...

"....don't even have keys for all the rest...." This may be a slight problem to the DIY route. Without a key to remove the cylinder from the lock for rekeying, it has to be picked or shimmed; the small kits I have seen do not have shims. Not hard to do but a little practice goes a long way...
