Not real sure if this is "vintage" or not but they were going to throw this in the trash at work, so I took it home. Score!!! HON 4 drawer file cabinet. Need to research the serial when I get home to maybe find out a manufacture date. Built like a tank and feels like ball bearing slides.

Those are my all-time favorite file handle type. You can really crank down the tightening knob so it won't slip off the file while in use. I have one similar that appears to be called "vintage" now. It's the red handled Craftsman one (I think some sort of resin instead of wood) and the jaws...

I'm gonna guess some sort of die for pressing snaps or something similar, although there should be another part that these mate with. Maybe even just to dimple metal?

Not hard at all. I just used my Bosch jigsaw with a metal blade to cut one tall one into those 3 smaller ones. I marked everything all around while it was still assembled and then disassembled the entire thing which was no small feat since there were dozens of super long screws and tiny low...

Thanks! Oh, I love that cabinet you have. I'd just about kill to get one of those for storage since mine is more for small and low profile stuff.

Thanks! I love how they turned out. Only took a few months of spare time to complete last year.

I love it when a thread gets brought back to life by something entirely different than the thread title. [emoji6]

Same here.

I just got some weather stripping and used that all around the top where the lid makes contact. There is still a very small amount of media that makes it out, but not much.

My guess is an edge face made of one layer of plywood all the way around. I think I can see the facing edge on the top. _____________________________ "It's time to be CORRECT, NOT politically correct." -The Truth

I have a set of those in your link and they will work for axes. In fact I put hair popping edges on all my axes with this set and all my dozens of knives as well. _____________________________ "It's time to be CORRECT, NOT politically correct." -The Truth
