    Custom totes for hand planes

    I’ve read a few post here and on other sites about guys with arthritis making totes that help their hands when they are using hand planes. I decided to give it a try. This is my first shot. I intend to carry the designs through and make them in wood when I get to the final fitments. I have a...

    New iron to work on - Delta jointer - table saw combo set-up

    I went out for a short drive and this followed into my car and home. I've always dug on the combo machines. Looks like the original base with some mods with the lift and roll bar. I need to get everything back together and see what state everything is in and do an inventory. Pretty stoked and...

    Rust Removal

    I came across this video on youtube. Looked interesting enough to give it a try. I was pretty surprised at the results for common household stuff - and I was quite skeptical dropping the first part in. Beyond Ballistics did a fantastic job here! The '57 Chevy truck door hinge was in the...

    Atlas 9325 or 9320 - new to the stable

    As dirty old tools seem to migrate to my garage, I’ve got another cool one I got last fall. Due to some health issues it has sat gathering more dust until now. As far as I can tell, it’s an Atlas 9325 or 9320 11-3/4 drill press. It has some busted pieces, but not too terribly wrung out. I plan...

    New additions to the garage: a vintage Delta drill press and a 7” jaw Babco

    I just picked up another old drill. Delta DP 220 (head casting - I know now…) floor model with the coolest pulley set-up I’ve ever seen. It has an old Delta round platform and the cool link-out task light. No motor though. It needs a few bits and pieces, but it’s old, dirty, and right up my...

    I picked up a couple of Wilton Shop Kings - love the style!

    I snagged a couple vises last month. A 5” Shop King for the garage and a 4” for my basement work bench. The 4” had no jaw plates and I haven’t been able to get them made. I cleaned the 5” up just a bit and bolted to the bench. With the 4”, I removed the rust and paint and my wife said it looked...

    I bought a Craftsman 103.24511 150 for $35 and it needed a feed knob.

    I picked up an old model 150 from Facebook Marketplace locally for $35. It came with an old Ironrite (don't know if it works) and a pedestal sink kit (NIB from early 2000's). The PO said it was siezed up and she had never got it working. She picked it up from an estate sale in the 90's. After...
