Great job! what is the piece you used to mount the assembly to the drill press mast? was it off the shelf or something you made yourself? thanks Bill

I’ll bet you don’t have a can like this. Not PVC does ABS Cement count?

It would be interesting to know how many houses were paid for and college educations funded by Craftsman mechanics hand tools.

Dump trailer!

But, they’re curved!

Same aisle as the replacement electrical smoke!

I’ve been looking for a Delta/Rockwell 6” x48” belt 12” disc sander with the open splayed leg stand. 220 volt single phase is best. I think they’re 1940-50’s vintage. Stand alone tool not a bench top

Very nicely done! Great job!

Stinky Craftsman handles for me. I can’t figure out the aversion to older craftsman stuff. I think it would be interesting to see how many professional old timers bought houses,raised families and put kids through college with stinky handled screwdrivers and Matt chrome raised panel wrenches.

I bought mine used on craigslist. It too was missing pins, that’s how I got it for $80.00 new condition. I made the replacement pins from steel rod and harbor freight hairpin clips.

You’ve done a very nice job! You’ll be just fine.

Does it smell bad?

Are you the original owner? if so most window manufacturers offer a warranty ,used to be lifetime to the original owner. If not and you can determine who the manufacturer is call them. They may have a service department or can recommend a local replacement facility.

Small block plane my dad bought me on a Saturday from Walker Warren Hardware on Mountain Blvd in Oakland CA. I was nine. A couple years later a Thorsen beam torque wrench. Still got’em still use ‘em. Ill be 75

Noalok on aluminum/copper connectors…….uh…yeah.
