Hi David, You may want to check out Escondido Metal Supply to see if they have any beams (they sell by the pound in their back lot). Best of Success! Alden

Thanks Jim, I am learning every day !!

Thanks Jim & Tom, The WWII veteran who gifted me some of his hand tools was an avid woodworker and built toy cars and trains for Christmas handouts to kids. His cabinetry was beautiful. I believe many of his tools were hand-me-downs from his relatives so the late 1800s to early 1900s sound...

Hi All, I recently inherited a Bailey No 7 (yellow) with a detachable jointer plane fence. There are no apparent markings on the fence to determine manufacturer or year. Any suggestions? Thanks, Alden

Thanks - now working on restoring my original sears floor jack 328.12001 - this site has been invaluable for rebuilding information !

I pulled my old Delta out of a dumpster back in the early 70's. Took it completely apart, put new bearings in, had some parts re-chromed, new 1/2 chuck and motor rebuild - been working great ever since. Don't know what model it is as the tag is too worn to read.
