    Asking For Help/Advise.....Again!

    Sorry it's taken this long to post. Have been moving to another state and it's taken me longer than I anticipated. No, I did not get it. When I messaged the seller it was sold lending pick up then shortly after that the list was marked sold. I'm keeping my eyes open for another one like that...

    Asking For Help/Advise.....Again!

    Thank you. I remember Mr. McClain, in shop class 45 years ago, always stressing safety and ENFORCING the rules with a paddle, just in case you survived the mishap, lol! Drivesitfar: I've kept up with a lot of your posts. I love the bench vices and those 2 big welders you got a few months back...

    Asking For Help/Advise.....Again!

    Ok. Sounds doable. I have to admit, I know some things about wrenches, sockets, screwdrivers and some general all around hand tools, but when it comes to the big power tools like this, I have to plead ignorance. I've never had a lathe and have always wanted one. Looked a a Craftsman 1hp on the...

    Help With Handplanes

    I appreciate all of the comments. Honestly, it's been so many years since I've used a plane, it would take me a few pieces of wood to get back up to speed, lol! I remember sharpening those blades but can't remember ever using the corrugated bottom plane. My grandfather was a very practical...

    Best way to clean sockets?

    I bought mine at Harbor Freight. If I'm not mistaken, I paid just over $20 bucks for 2 gallons. That was last November. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-J327A using Tapatalk

    Best way to clean sockets?

    I too have that problem with my hands. I use a wire brush made of brass to get the worst of the rust off then soak in Evaporust. I got mine at Harbor Freight but I know a lot of auto parts stores carry it as well. Runs about $9 per gallon but you can use it over again until it no longer removes...

    Help With Handplanes

    Ok. Thanks for the info. Would you know where I can find possible year made? I did run across a web site (name escapes me right now) after posting them up here that show a chart of Stanley, Craftsman and Miller model number comparison of hand planes made by Stanley but couldn't find any rate...

    I think Stanley did make some for Craftsman back in the day but not sure about Wards. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-J327A using Tapatalk

    Help With Handplanes

    Hey guys. Long time no posts; even longer story. So...... Going through my tool box and run across these hand planes that belonged to my granddad. A Craftsman and a Wards Master. I forgot that I had them. I remember sharpening them both and using them a very long time ago. I can't seem to...
