If you have inner and outer nuts on your truck (BUDD wheels), remember that the LEFT side is LEFT handed threads and the RIGHT side is RIGHT handed threads. Don't mix them up!

Nik....I have three boxes like the one in the second picture. I purchased them between 1975 and 1979, but mine have MAC in each chrome handle, so yours must be older than that. I wanted all my boxes keyed alike and my Snap On dealer was able to provide SO locks that fit the MAC boxes. You might...

oldwizzard...japanning is the thick, black original finish used on these planes. You can look up japanning and find how it can be reproduced. Myself, several coats of gloss black enamel is good enough. :thumbup: afx....nice job!

By the mid 40's the S-K Chrome stamping had been replaced with just S-K. About 1957 the 12 point 7/16, 1/2, and 9/16 were replaced with 6 point sockets. (Information taken from Alloy Artifacts site.) On these assumptions the set would be from mid-40's to 1957?

toolguynj,....Are your 7/16, 1/2, and 9/16 sockets 6 point or 12 point?

Stanley 144 Corner Rounding Plane was made 1925 - 1943 in 1/4", 3/8", and 1/2" (3/8 most common, but all are scarce). Early castings have Patent applied for, later ones have a pat. date of 10/6/1925. "Fantastic planes for rounding an edge to a set radius". Average price for these planes is...

I like the Stanley Power Lock 25' tapes with 1" blades.

I was interested but didn't recognize the phone number. A little google and find it's a cell in Kewanee, 30 miles away. Lost intrest real quick. The ad is 10 days old. If it's a good deal with name brand stuff they are probably already gone.

Guys, I LIVE in Galesburg. I'd be willing to take a look if someone is interested. Remember shipping will probably kill the deal. [email protected] is checked frequently. Jim Thurnau oleblu

r olson, From one S-K junkie to another, YOU ****! $25 for that tool board is a nice score.

Any chance you could find another identical box and mate them side by side? My first rollaround (around 1975) was a MAC similar to yours. When it got full I started looking for options but soon decided I wasn't going to spend mega bucks for a bigger one. Luckily I found an identical box used...

Check your PM's for incoming on SK ratchet.

The multi-tool (if complete) is a table saw (and a mighty fine one at that), drill press, lathe, disc sander, and a horizontal boring machine (for woodworking). The head is variable speed. There are lots of accessories that can be added as a persons needs arise. Used ones around here bring...

I feel no vibrations with my wobble dado on either my table saw or radial arm saw.
