had the same problem with my ****** HF stand. Didn't want to bolt it down. Rubber mat did wonders.

Any more info on tobacco plug cutters like this? I did a quick Google search and they all appear to more of a table top kind, with a handle (press). Honestly this is the first I've ever heard of such a things, which is embarrassing b/c I'm into cigars and tobacciana. It's quite large, prob...

That one had me baffled. I guess I see that. What kinda blade do I put in there?

That makes sense. They have a little hammer for tacks and a tack puller on the handle. Cool! I need something to reupholster now!

Man you guys are good! :thumbup: The masonry hand drills...whoa that sounds terrible! wonder what the heck gramps did with those.

This morning I started the snowblower, and cleaned up all the beer cans from last night! :beer:

Thanks! Prob used in hand drills? for wood I assume? Grinding wheel dresser? For grinding down your grinding wheel?

Some more.... Not a hex shaft, has more sides...says 7/16 on it. the bigger end is just round inside, overall about 4" long. Some sort of cutting blade. Or torture implement

Dug out a pile of my grandfathers old tools last night. Some pretty cool stuff in there. Lots of wooden handle screwdrivers, pliers, hammers...the usual. Plan on restoring what I can, I'm sure he would have wanted them to be used! Anyway, a few items in there I have no idea what the heck...

At this rate I might have this project done by x-mas! I did manage to polish my rod and knob the other night :lol: Now it's paint time. What do you guys think for color? I think I might go red with white lettering. BTW, here's a pic of the Columbian I scored with this deal. Got her all...

Belly, that looks good! Are you just stripping and polishing to get that look, or is that some sort of paint?

I gave up on that pin, It's been there for 50 years, it can stay there. Just got it back from media blasting, came out great! Now I must decide on paint or polish and leave bare.

I have had a veto XL for over 5 years now. Abuse it daily, they are hands down the best tool bag I've ever seen. Prior to the veto I would go through a bag a year, I've had em all...love my veto! I really like the new tech series they have, been considering getting one, but I can't justify it...

Thanks for the advise fellas! I am a bit worried about using the press, I'll try soaking it and tapping some more. The nut is moving around a bit, so that's not the hold up. Gotta get it out tonight, my buddy is gonna media blast it for me tomorrow.

Thanks guys! Tore it down last night. I'm pretty sure there is suposed to be only one lockdown. You can see the pic of the one side where the taper of the lockdown has worn into the base, not present on the other side. The way the swivel is designed with "teeth" when tightened, it holds...
