    Parts washer help?

    I did a search and suprisingly didn't find a thread on this already! I've been looking at getting a parts washer, probably a bench-top type (3.5 gallon) since I'll mainly use it for cleaning bearings, etc...on vintage bicycles. My question is...is there a brand out there that you guys can...

    Houston-Estate Sale Garage stuff

    I went last weekend to this estate sale and found some pretty good dust collectors (oil cans, etc...). I am in no way affiliated with this sale, but you Houston guys ought to check it out. They have a large old wooden workbench (used to be some type of dresser, but looks homemade, nice drawers...

    Another estate sale find...

    Picked up this old Kennedy box over the weekend. I told myself that I'd reached my toolbox limit, but couldn't pass this one up. It's pretty crusty but solid, like most of the ones I drag home. Can anyone tell how old it is? I'm guessing '50s.

    Old Craftsman top chest. Still needs to be cleaned up though. It even still has the tray, only missing the lock.

    Played hooky from work today and went to an estate sale I found on CL this morning (I am in no way affiliated with this sale, but you Houston guys need to check it out). They have several workbenches and cabinets as well as tools and misc. other stuff. The workbenches (I counted four) are all...

    Did Fisher Body make tools boxes?

    I bought this at an estate (auto upholstery shop) sale recently. I don't know if this is a legit 'Fisher Body' box (for in-house factory use) or if someone just stuck a Fisher tag on a generic box (I don't see any other stamping on it). Most of the Fisher tags I've seen in my life on vehicles...

    Weekend score-old gas pump

    Wasn't really looking for one, but I stumbled on this at an estate sale this weekend and couldn't pass it up. Actually, I did pass it up the first day 'cause I thought they wanted too much. My wife, knowing I was interested gave the lady her number. The next day, the lady called and they worked...

    Old C-man mower (change blade height?)

    Picked this up at an estate sale this weekend. I'll need to sharpen the blades, but initial tests show that this thing still cuts great, it's just a bit too low. Does anyone know if there's a way to raise the cutting height?

    Old Proto box

    Picked up this old Proto box at an estate sale, it's kind of crusty but everything functions fine (may leave it as is). Any body have an idea how old this is (I'm guessing '60s or '70s)? Is there a sure fire way to tell?
