    Vintage Tool Restoration

    I'm a big fan of My Mechanics (Mister Patina is another favorite). After a couple years of watching their videos I was inspired to try my hand at making them. If you're at all interested I'm @TetanusTime on YouTube. https://www.youtube.com/@TetanusTime The train track anvil and pipe cutter...

    I restored a Dunlap 5244. Looking forward to putting this one to use. Video of the process here for anyone interested.

    The VISES of Garage Journal

    I saw another thread on here about that after I bought it! Says Made in England on the box. Can't find a date anywhere on the box.

    The VISES of Garage Journal

    Just picked up this unused Record 3VS swivel vise off Marketplace for $40. Came in the (very weathered) original box. It wasn't stored properly, so there's some rust on the bare metal that needs to be cleaned off. Excited to clean this bad boy up and put it to use!

    Let's Hear it for the Old Gray/Red Sears Craftsman Tool Chests and Cabinets (60s/70s)

    I like the look of the Craftsman decals on the underside of the upper box lids. Might need to "borrow" that idea!

    Metl-Former vise - how to get handle off

    I just ran across this on a recent vise disassembly. There was a retaining ring (roughly the thickness of the two combined in your photo) with a small gap in the ring around a recess in the shaft. I heated the ring red hot with a propane torch, stuck a pair of stout needle nose in the 1/8" gap...

    The two handled tray in the Craftsman upper is cool. Anyone know if that's an original stock item?

    Great looking set for sale around San Diego. Not mine, nor anyone I know, and out of my price range... Link

    Please DM me if you're still looking to sell. I've been on the hunt for another 3-drawer bottom roller, and I'm in the LA area. :)
