    Plomb tool picture thread - show your stuff!

    15 years ago I could go to the flea market and always come away with a handful of Plomb tools. Then about 10 years ago it seemed like it just dried up and I usually don't find any or maybe 1. I was pleasantly surprised at the mid week flea market here this week when I found this 5283 PLOMB...

    Plomb tool picture thread - show your stuff!

    Quote "Edit: Weninger's Naturalization application is attached showing his age and occupation. Also, I tried to zoom in to see the tool manufacturer listed in Weninger's 1920 Census, and that screenshot is attached (Yellow Line is Weninger).

    tanker desk in MD free!

    The trick to taking them apart is to take the drawers out, turn them upside down and just start taking fasteners apart. I took one apart to get it down to manageable size to carry up to attic office and reassemble.

    How Many Cripples do I need?

    Yeah, what bluearmflames said, if it is a load bearing wall. If not it is a load bearing wall, not such a big deal.

    Is there a name for these vintage Duro Chrome wrenches?

    Yes it is definitely "Dart Flu". I have never been particularly interested in Duro-Chrome but I am a sucker for any wrench with an art-deco flair. Those :bowdown:Dart style wrenches certainly fill the fill. Will be on the lookout! V8

    Do you segregate your China tools from your real ones?

    We are currently going through my fathers estate and all the Asian tools (Japan, China, Taiwan, India Etc). are going into 5 gallon buckets for an estate sale. I am keeping all the Proto, Plomb for myself and my brothers can split up the rest of the USA tools. V/8

    4 ft florescent lights

    T12 Flourescent tubes will no longer be manufactured after July 2013. T8 and T5 bulbs will replace them. If you want to keep your same fixture your ballast may need to be replaced with a compatible one depending on the application. V/8

    Storing furniture in the garage

    I would be more concerned about furniture storage encroaching on my garage space. Looks like your "garage" has degenerated into "storage building". V/8

    How should I wire ceiling lights on steel ceiling?

    A ceiling box is not required. Run conduit to the lights and the wiring is done in the body of the light fixture. The fixture itself serves as the "box". V/8
