I bought a pair of these heavy steel speaker stands a few years ago and they've been sitting in my garage since. since I was cleaning the garage i got the idea to use one as a pedestal for my new to me dayton buffer. The stand has a nice wide steel plate at the bottom, I may bolt it to the...

that is a **** vise. what kind of paint/color did you use? I just picked a bullet and want to paint it and I love that color.

I believe this is from the 50's from the little bit of research i did. This one is metal, from what I can tell they went to plastic in the 60's and the graphics are a bit different.

also got this craftsman shield logo tool box with original tray and these 2 simonsen cantilever tool boxes. the second one has nice cork liners and extra dividers to organize the shelves any way you want to. there's tons of stuff inside all of these tool boxes i still have to go through. last...

sorry for taking so long with the pics but there was a lot to go through. so in addition to the chisels and indestro wrenches listed above I got all this. in the first picture every thing on the right hand of the table is all craftsman v series wrenches and sockets. including a set of box...

I had a couple of good hauls the past couple of days. i got a ton of stuff. a lot more craftsman v series stuff including flare nut wrenches. here are two other highlights. a nos set of berg shark brand wood chisels. I didn't know anything about them but I grabbed because they looked beautiful...

nice haul. that grinder looks pretty clean

I picked this up today. it's marked wilton des plaines. I believe it is made in usa. its marked 111146. its not a bullet but is still a sealed unit. anyone know what model this is? seems like a pretty nice vise. also picked up this dayton 1/2 hp buffer and a dayton hot air blower.
