made in china knife … $2

It's been several years I think since I've posted . Being off I hit as many sales as I can and after 2 years there has been more picks that I could count. I quit , for the most part, getting the heavy iron. The broken body just doesn't like it much . If I'm not buying , I'm cleaning rusty finds...

Sure they are. The one on ebay was an ice saw. Outlaws is a rip saw. Same cast iron handle. I forget the years they were made but I may have put it in the listing discription

Outlaw could be a Curtis Clean it carefully in the usual etching areahttps://www.ebay.com/itm/RARE-Vtg-Saw-Curtis-Ice-Saw-With-Iron-Handle-Copper-Rivets-Visible-Etching/112755825750?hash=item1a40c55c56:g:iPQAAOSw0wRaRZJv

Archimedes drill... ?

Drives Thanks man. I'm making it slowly but surly. My buddy Tink was posting pics of my Parker 82 pipe vise. I'm one step closer to landing my unicorn the Parker 86. The 82 gives me hope that somewhere there still my be an 86 out there waiting for me to discover it.

Jaws are pinned. You don't use the swivel jaw on pipe. The main body of the vise would interchange with Number 82 through 86. The 86 being the most universal. It has both pipe jaws and vise jaws . Either the static or the dynamic could swivel. You wouldn't use both jaws in swivel mode at the...

Riley This is the Parker 82, pipe vise. It's related to my unicorn No 86. This 82 only has pipe jaws. The 86 has both pipe jaws and vise jaws. They can be interchanged or swiveled from either side.

Been trying to make up for lost time. My pick is in overdrive. Literally tons of stuff. Including a 1925 Coleman lantern, 1921 pre-snap on vacuum grip pliers. Tip of the iceberg too much to even list.

Great eye

I'm sure it will keep me entertained for quite some time LOL. I've played on the wood lathe quite a bit but this is very different.

Thanks outlaw. I tried to go back to work. Made it four days and the shots they gave me in my back wore off. So it's still a struggle . I'm actually getting another MRI in the morning to see what damage I did to it throwing crane mats . 175 pound mats are pretty unforgiving.

Thanks Mike. It's been a pretty rough road the last few months but I never stopped picking. I just couldn't spare the time to post here . The last five months I found a ton of good stuff, maybe two tons LOL . I'll try to keep up better

Drop the truck off at the house grab the car and headed up to an auction an hour away. Crab dip some good stuff. The old farmer had painted everything so there is some cleanup to do but underneath several layers of paint there is some real nice stuff. Winchester chisels, 604 bedrock plane ...

I went back to the same sale this morning and picked up 1960s craftsman toolbox for $45 I may have to pimp this one out . Going to see if I can find some ceramic badges re-chrome the pulls and get it all powder coated. Need to figure out the rivets.
