I bought this knife at the GEC store in Titusville in 2024. It is marked "S" for store or second. It is in new condition. I have not carried, used, or sharpened the knife. The pull is fairly strong on both blades. Not a nail breaker, but pretty firm. They both have a firm half stop...

Looks like it was barely used, if at all. Just a few very minor blemishes. 19 3/4 x 7 x 8 $69 plus shipping Paypal, check, or money order

Thanks for the info, guys. Here's another picture. It's definitely cast. I can see the parting line, and it goes all the way up to the flat surface. So the surface is cast too. It's definitely not hollow. I tried a 3/4" ball bearing drop from about 12". It rebounded about 4". It's fine...

You might be right, four cycle. I smeared a little paint stripper on the sides last night, hoping to reveal a decal or something under the paint. No luck.

I picked up this little anvil at an estate sale recently. It only weighs 21 lb. No markings on it that I can see. I was hoping it wasn't imported junk. Everything at the sale was old and quality tools and machines, so I took a chance on the little anvil. I realize it's too small to do...

Thanks. Actually it was a mess when I bought it. Here's a picture from the auction site. The stand was falling apart; that's a house jack holding up the top of it. No switch. Gearbox needed grease repacked. Blades about as sharp as a butter knife.

Picked up this Parks/Craftsman planer a while back. Not a toy. I think it's over 300 lb. The repulsion induction motor is a serious hunk too.

I picked up this Gerstner chest last week at an estate sale. Not really a "you ****" price, but considering it's over 100 years old, more than fair I think. It's a model 41, made between 1919 and 1921. The key is still present and it works. I have a few Gerstners, but this is the oldest by far.

I picked up this little guy last week at an estate sale. All the tools were priced stupid high, like a craftsman #4 plane for $50. No price on the vise or workbench, so I asked the lady about the vise. She said how about $20? Jaws are only 2 1/2". It swivels and rotates very smoothly. I'm...

No. There was a belt/disc sander (just to the right of the table saw) The guy who bought it picked up the belt cover and the tilting table for it. They also had a 70s or 80s era Unisaw, but it was about double the price I was willing to pay.

An estate sale popped up last week with a pretty extensive workshop. They posted pictures and a youtube video of the shop contents. I spotted a Delta tenoning jig in the video. No mention of it in the other pictures. The guy running the sale was totally clueless about tools. Most things...

Thanks for the info, guys. I'll try it out next time I air my tires. Might be handier than waiting for my big compressor to get up to pressure.

I bought this yesterday at an estate sale. I actually thought it was a vacuum pump, until I got home and looked it over. It runs okay and puts out air, but I've never seen a compressor without a tank. How is it used? Connect it to a separate tank? Or just fill your tires slowly? It's got...

That makes sense. Thanks for the info.
