I usually use a #4, sometimes a #5. Last year I found a #3C body and I plan to get enough parts to make it into a user. All Stanley planes of course. Recently found a nice Keen Kutter block plane I will start using.

Yes, Stanley used proprietary threads on its plane parts. Ebay, flea markets , garage sales could be good sources as well as web sites. Lots of collectors out there.

Nice job on that roller. What did you use for paint?

I checked out the one on Ebay. Looks very similar and it also appears to be galvanized metal. I think the trap door attic thing on mine was an add on. I can't help but think these were made by tin knockers out of gutter parts. Oddly the ebay box only has one side handle. Whats up with that?

I found one on Etsy that was similar but not as elaborate. No clue as to who built it.

Not FBMP, local garage sale. I will check FB for similar box. Odd wooden handle on this box. Looks too flimsy for the size of the box.

Today I hit the flea market and 2 garage sales. I found a pagoda styled toolbox. For $5 I couldn't pass it up. I can't find any makers id on it and a Google image search didn't turn up any thing. On the under side of the lid there is a trap door that opens into the lid area. It appears to be...

I second that opinion. It looks very much like the rem line I have in the garage.

Nice old south bend lathe. I have 9A that's been in the family since 1940. I'm making a wood box with top tray for the tooling.

Nice Remline boxes. I have that bottom box and a while later I found a 10 drawer Remline top box to keep it company. https://www.garagejournal.com/forum/threads/the-vintage-toolboxes-of-garage-journal.49743/page-194#post-6609840

Sure, here's a couple. Specs are 18x33 1/2 x42.

Don't know about year it was made. Based on this pic I'm calling it an S-K.

I took the photo with my phone. I never seem to get good results with it.

I need some tips on how to repair drawer slide tabs on my SK roller. About 3or 4 drawers have the tab broken off that extends the slide when you pull the drawer out and causes the drawer to be unsupported on one side. I'm sure you guys have fixed this problem before. What is needed to repair...

Nice work. I also have a "forgotten Unisaw" in the garage so your efforts were a lot of interest to me. Someday I plan to use it. I purchased a used 52'' Biesemeyer fence to go on it as the fence was missing. In the meantime I am working on a Delta Homecraft 34-600 to replace my old Craftsman...
