Your lathe looks very similar to my Seneca Falls Star 10 lathe. You might find some identifying information cast into the lathe bed directly behind the lead screw. My lathe is post-1910 and pre-1916, based on the patent dates on the bed. The Lathes.Co.UK site has more info on Seneca Falls...

Welcome, from that place I like to call WETstern Washington.

Welcome to GJ from across the Sound. Your inherited tools will be a nice addition to your shop.

:rocker:

This one's hanging in the basement shop. It's an 8-day Howard Miller with Westminster chimes. I picked it up at a garage sale for five bucks because it wasn't working. I cleaned and oiled the movement and now it keeps pretty good time. I'm on the lookout for one of the old round ones that has...

Looking real good.

I picked up a practically new 263 pc Craftsman set (current manufacture) on Craigslist for $120 a couple months ago. It had inch/metric 1/4, 3/8, and 1/2 sockets/wrenches up to 1", a smattering of ratcheting combo wrenches, and way too many hex wrenches and screwdriver bits. Seemed like a good...

That's a very cool table, Sanddan.

I've only had a car on the lift once (see video link below, about the 2 min mark is where the fun starts) so I don't have a lot of experience using the lift yet but it worked well when I tried it out. The steel connecting bar is about 1/2" x 3-1/2" and is bolted to each platform with three...

Wow, it's probably been 50 years since I had my hands on Dad's miter saw. But I'll try to dust off the brain cobwebs. From what I can recall, the saw is slid into the two vertical holders and then the saw and holders are slid up to the locking latches which hold the saw suspended. When the piece...

My 25yo Hydra-Lift scissor is mechanically tied together (yellow bar in photo below), with a single hydraulic line supplying both cylinders. Crude but effective.

Very nice!

Boy does this bring back memories. Dad had one when I was a kid. Neat gizmo for someone like me (mechanical-type) to fiddle with. And before I looked at Viv's photos, I wondered if they would show the two different shaped latch levers on top to hold the saw up. Lo and behold, there are those two...

I put one on a 12h x 16w sectional door, and really like mine as well. With yours (OP) being 14h, I'm not sure if the opener can handle the extra 2' of height but I would think so. I was concerned with my door being larger (square foot wise) than Liftmaster stated, but mine works great. One...

Very nice start to your garage Krucks. It's unfortunate county permitting has gotten so difficult these days.
