Yeah, the box was missing a logo badge. Made those on my Cricut.

I ran a professional bicycle shop in the 80’s. Most of the bicycling stickers are from that era. Did you see the “Superbe Pro” sticker with a hang glider on it? That is also a Suntour sticker. Superbe Pro was their top end bicycle components.

Thanks. My wife bought the Cricut and has never used it. I have enjoyed making all kinds of stuff with it.

My 50+ year old Remline with a more recent intermediate tool chest. The Remline is used nearly daily. Also pictured is a vintage Snap-on side shelf.

For years now I have been searching for a Remline Intermediate tool chest. I needed more storage capacity so I finally bought a used “no name one” off FB marketplace. The size was right so it will have to do for now. Still bugs me that the handles are so different. The good thing is the...

I purchased my Remline 6 drawer top box back in the late 1970’s. It has held up okay but the chrome in the logo badge has worn off. I tried “chrome paint” pens but was dissatisfied. Today I bought some shiny “chrome” vinyl at Michael’s. Once home, I made a duplicate Remline logo and stuck it...

Here is my old vise. Came out of a bike shop where I worked in the late 70's: Greensboro's Toga Bike Shop. Recently I removed it from my bench and discovered the pivot bolt had come loose. Rebuilt it and gave it a rattle can quickie repaint.

Not as fancy or as organized as most here but special to me. My grandfather built this bench out of true dimension 2x8 oak boards back in the 50's. All I did was repainted the lower part--it was industrial grey.
