I knew a guy who collected Bluegrass hammers and kept them at his appliance store. He had to have nearly a thousand of them. He passed away and they went to auction...which I knew nothing about.

rrich, that is indeed very impressive. I have had a stack of walnut for quite some time that I have been waiting to decide on a project to use on. I have decided to use some of it to replace a table top, but this has given me pause to wonder. Nah, guess I will go with plan A. Thanks for...

That's a lot of tools. He even inventoried over 2000 wrenches! I would like to walk through there and get a better view of it. I would be interested in his hammer collection specifically what he might have in the Bluegrass Belknap variety.

I just face the phillips inward one direction and the slot screw drivers on the other side of the drawer facing the opposite way. It helps me reduce time looking for what I need.

Yesterday's post: Took a tool out of an electrolysis bath which helped a great deal getting most of the rust off. Wire brushed it some more and sprayed it with black primer/paint. Tried to fix my control head for a acid neutralizer on my water system (need to order parts). Changed oil in...

This belonged to my dad. It was either this pair of pliers or a set of Kleins (that have the same color grips) that were mysteriously found in his garden back in the 70s.

Thank you. Is there anything missing from it that you can tell?

Thank you

Thanks

Can someone verify what this is? I think it is a bead breaker for tires, but I haven't found this design on the web, so I may be calling this by the wrong name. The handle at the bottom can swivel around as you turn the crank for positioning. It weighs about 40-45 lbs. It's in the process of...

It does say 60/50 cycle. Thank you very much.

I have a Stanley bench grinder 286B. It works fine, just needs new wiring which I'm getting around to. I bought it at a flea market about 10 or 12 years ago. This picture is a before pic before I decided to clean it up. I would just like to have an idea of how old it is. I figured it came...

I tried that on the first hive, but the results were limited because the hole was offset from their hive which as about 6 inches or so to the side. Plus, my well was nearby that one and I didn't want to pour too much gas around it. Another remedy I heard of is to pack the hole with Sevin dust at...

It tripped the breaker alright. I can't imagine the noise the vac was making during its last moments. The only recognizable parts inside the bucket was made of metal. The rest was just a bucket of melted plastic dolloped over the dead yellow jackets. I don't think the filter was the issue...

Feel free to use it. I didn't get a manual, probably would have thrown it away anyway!
