Went out to the Route 40 Yard Sale and picked up a vise with 3-1/4 inch jaws made by the Clipper Tool Company of Buffalo New York. Mike

Saw up on marketplace a Millers Falls No. 3 grinder, but it was missing a number of parts. Decided to buy it anyway and hope some of the parts might show up. Treadle parts are the majority of the missing items, probably because someone put a pulley wheel and motorized it. Decided to remove...

Outlawmws: The middle rod on WW vise doesn't have threads completely around it. Should be able to slide when handle turned to smooth portion of rod for QR. Mike

b.well: Nice looking Columbian Vise. It also looks like it has the quick release function on it as well. I normally wire wheel the rods, to help everything move smoothly. However, yours may be just fine the way they are. Mike

RTM: Re-checked toe, but no maker mark found. The dimensions of this plane is 8 inches long with cutting iron of 2 inches. The other plane with the Keystone MFG Co on cutting iron, was more a traditional wood plane, vs this one which looks to be a transitional version. The other Keystone...

Not a lot of sales still in my area, but yard sale showed up that was close enough, so decided to head out. Pic 1 is a cant, peavey or log roller. Sticker was on it, but worn off, so no mfg name. It's a foot longer than my other 2 and probably the best shaped handle on any of mine. Shadow...

That rough looking Woodworking Vise may be a W.C. Toles and a quick release version.

Other day, spotted a listing on marketplace for a metal cabinet. Liked the graphics of the old cars on one of the two doors, but also could see a lot of rust. Picked it up and did some cleaning, without going too far. On other door, says Automotive Tune Up Parts and bottom of same door, says...

W. C. Toles woodworking vise came my way at a yard sale, but this was a bit unusual. First it is a No. 10 FD Junior. That particular woodworking vise was targeted for Elementary and Junior high school students in the 1930's. Normally on these vises and other Toles models, they show the...
