    Be creative and paint it what you want. I didn't do these up as original.

    The value of this old craftsman bench vice?

    He never said he was going to sell it. Maybe he just wants to know if he inherited the holy grail of vises. I'm just sayin'.

    Craftsman Arbor

    Well unfortunately I couldn't save the original paint. After soaking for a few hours the color came off right along with the dirt. Too bad really because from what I could see it was just about 100% intact. No matter, once I realized that the original paint was a loss I dropped the arbor in the...

    Craftsman Arbor

    Well got it home today and stripped it all down. Upon closer inspection it appears that 95% or more of the original gold paint seems to be intact under a thick layer of caked on dirt. I have the arbor soaking in a gentile solution of Tide liquid laundry detergent and warm water and will agitate...

    Power Hacksaw value

    Thanks for all the input but I missed the boat. The saw has been sold. Probably for the best because I really didn't need that 300 lb. obstacle sitting in the middle of my upcoming garage rehab. I'm sure it'll make a nice refurb for whoever got it.

    All I know is there were about 10 kits on the shelf and most all of them had $99.99 price tags on them as did the price marker attached to the shelf. They may not be worth it but that's what they were marked. Yes, the ratchet looks a bit weak but that will go in the $5 bin at the swap met next...
