    Repairing/Replicating Craftsman Leather Handles

    Ed: Recovering can be done but it is time consuming. I’ve done a couple but no longer recover them. It’s simpler to make from scratch. If you still need one and don’t want to recover, just let me know. I am filling orders for people who call, if I have parts available and am making a few...

    Any drawbacks from putting workbench on casters?

    Finally bought a saw, a Unisaw

    I picked up a 1945 Unisaw a few years ago for $425. Did a complete restoration and probably have about a grand in it all together. It’s a great saw. I’m very happy with it. The only negative was the lack of an emergency shut off switch. I ordered one (haven’t installed it yet).

    How much should I ask for the old Delta Rockwell tools?

    Are all three machines 3 phase? If so, they will be much harder to sell. I also think this would drive prices toward the lower end.

    Old Wrenches

    Even if they aren't worth anything, I was hoping to get them to someone that collects wrenches. I hate to just dump them...

    Old Wrenches

    I was hoping some of them might be desirable to collectors but it appears that they aren't. Wrenchguy: Here are some (hopefully) better pics.

    Old Wrenches

    Are any of these wrenches worth anything? They seem cool but I CANNOT get sucked into collecting anything else....

    New Garage

    The first three are standard metal garage doors. The last bay has wooden doors that came off a barn. A friend of my Dad gave them to me. I brought them home, cut them down to size, moved some boards, finished, and hung them. They are heavy as hell...
