Ok GJ, PSCo1867 made it to the ATL and gave me some Railroad track. I am hold one piece for another member here, but I have 6 other pieces that are available for puck up whenever you can schedule it with me. So, if you are in the metro Atlanta area or want to drive to ATL and you want a piece of...

I snagged another block grinder from an estate sale a few weeks back. This is a 1/4 hp 6” split phase grinder. I paid $45.00 for it and it was missing one tool rest and the eye guards. This model did not come with a quench tray or lamp. I already have a Craftsman 397.19350 Block Grinder that...

I was fortunate to locate a Wilton C0 at an estate sale and snagged it for $45.00. The vise was mounted to a bench and did not have a swivel base with it. Oddly enough, the ½” center alignment pin was still inserted in the bottom of the vise. The previous owner had drilled a recess out of the...

More than likely, neither of these vises are “vintage” but they are both Made in the USA. Rather than a complete rebuild, this is mostly a refresh of these vises. First, the Columbian D44 M5 was gifted to me by my sister. It was in good shape, but I decided to clean it up and repaint it...

Well, this weekend was productive. I went to 5 Estate sales this weekend. I chose all of them because they all had vises. One sale had a Columbian 3” jaw (probably a 603 1/3) and they wanted $110.00 for it. Another sale had a Columbian D33 ½ and they only wanted $20.00 but I was looking for...

I picked this up today for $40.00. This vise was mounted to a metal plate that was welded to a 10” piece of 2” rectangle tube. The mounting bolts were welded to the plate and the nuts were welded on top. Overall, the vise is in very good shape. I used an angle grinder to remove the welds...

Hello, well I am continuing to expand my collection of working tools. As with all my other rebuilds here on GJ. Nothing I own or rebuild is a “safe queen” (gun owners will get that), it either is put to work or sold. So, what’s up with the Wilton? Here is some context, if you are not interested...

This weekend I purchased a Craftsman King Seeley Band Saw (103.24260) from Offer-up for $100.00. I had not expected to pay that much for it but I also came with a spindle sander and the motor for the sander was a craftsman motor, so I figured overall the 100 was worth it. I have been...

Back in mid-December 2020 I purchased a Craftsman ¾ HP Bench Grinder (397.19350) of Offer-up. I probably paid too much for the condition it was in, but I wanted something more than the more common 1/3 HP version. I have been busy rebuilding some classic Craftsman drill presses so this bench...

11b30b4’s Craftsman 103.23130 & 103.24531 Drill Press rebuild All Pics have been fixed and uploaded to GJ. This thread covers the rebuilding of two drill presses. The first is a Craftsman 100 series (103.23130) and is mostly covered in the first two pages of this thread. The second drill...

I am currently restoring a Craftsman 8” Bench Top Drill Press. However, I have run into a few issues and I am considering replacing it. I am not opposed to getting a used press, this 8” press was a used press when I got it, but I am also considering a new press. So, I tinker, I work with wood...

After my Craftsman 15 ½ Inch ½ HP Drill Press (113.213780) Rebuild, I have decided to rebuild my Craftsman 8 Inch Bench Drill Press 1/6 HP (113.213722). I know we can all find used 8” drill presses available for as cheap as $20.00 but rather than getting a different press, this one has been a...

I thought I would share this stuff. Last year my father gifted me some of my Uncle’s vintage tools. This forced a complete reorganization of my peg boards in my shop, but it was a huge win win. Of the cool tools I was gifted, was an Indestro Super ½” Drive Ratchet Model 3275 along with a set of...
