    Craftsman Drill Press for JZiggy

    TRiLIGHT

    Opinions & Observations: Kickstarter is now used as a cheap way to promote new and existing products, rather than truly "funding" the development of a new idea (which was the spirit of crowd funding in the beginning). This appears to be the case with the TriLight campaign. They are going to...

    Craftsman Drill Press

    Don't paint it, just clean it up. It's remarkable what a little elbow grease can do.

    Show us your cool, "old" drill press

    Thanks, yes, it's the original paint. I see too many nice original paint metal parts ruined by repainting unnecessarily. No matter how bad something looks I try to save it first. I use EvapoRust or CLR and a worn out sponge/scotch brite pad after soaking it for a couple hours. For vertical...

    Picked up this drill press on Friday and spent a few hours cleaning it up this weekend. I am a fan of original paint so I soaked the casting in EvapoRust to clean it up.

    The Tool Board

    I don't like the generic tool boards, but the ones made for a specific purpose are cool. Here is a tool board offered by Hazet in the 50's. It includes a compliment of tools specific for VW and Porsche. There are some generic tools on the board too but most are engine building tools...
