Lugz - I would be taking a look at that bunch of sockets on a wire loop. All - I am definitely living vicariously through the posts, and play the "what would I look at?" game constantly! I haven't been able to get out in over a month, but love the posts! And my email notifications seem to...

Wow! That under the radar estate sale is the stuff of legends! So many great pieces, at a YOU **** price! I think that cast iron base is from a drafting table/desk. And it alone was worth the price of admission. I have been disciplining myself to stay away from estate sales lately... but if...

Outlaw! I know a guy who has one of these! .... and now he knows how to properly store it. I had no idea this was anything someone would actually want. I have been out of touch for quite a while and was just catching up when I saw this. It seems my alerts got turned off sometime before the...

I went with the Merriam-Webster (slang) definition... Well it is really the modern "Original Gangster" but they include: Definition of OG https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/OG (Entry 1 of 2) slang : someone or something that is an original or originator and especially one that is...

Great work and great finds! As we use the modern multi-bit sets of today we have so many of the OG toolmakers to thank for pressing forward with innovation. And the stories and pics were amazing. Thanks JjKk40 and Lugz!

I "think" the specs that lowes shows on that are wrong. I think this is a newer wifi6 802.11ax model - but you would need to check the box. If so, you can buy multiple at this price and use it for mesh system. It would be a VERY nice setup. here are the specs from the Linksys site for...

That reminds me of an old Home Depot clearance trick from long ago that might be helpful to some. Set aside the paper ads (or digital scans) from Black Friday, Holiday Sales, etc. and note the things that say "Special Buy" in the ads. Those are usually the SKUs that are just for seasonal, etc...

After seeing you in that spot on 1960/1 outfit recreation for your brother's party that somehow seems fitting! Plus one on that! ... what he said! "Looks cool", "reminds me of a time/person/etc", or even "I hate to see that go to a landfill, someone loved it, used it, or put effort into it...

Ha! I don't think that I have ever bought a bit brace on its own. It really isn't a tool I would go after... although I do like corner braces. But the darn things just seem to be in every tool lot/box I buy. I went by one guy at a flea market who had a bunch and when I showed interest in...

I have been out of the game for a while, but this is really neat! Home Depot clearance that can be ordered online! And REAL clearance at 75% off. I hear good things about the Tekton wrenches, but don't know if I would really use SAE. Is the quality that good? Here is another exampleThis...

Keep watching brickseek. I was using Brickseek for inventory, and then going to lowes.com for in-store pricing, but noticed that they are getting better with Lowes inventory AND in-store pricing. It is a shame that Lowes pulled the old APIs but both inventory AND in-store pricing are available...

I would have had to grab that for the brand alone! But it is also cool! You see so many 'bicycle wrenches" from that time but not many other bicycle tools. I forget just how important bicycles were to local transportation before automobiles, and how much bicycle innovation was occuring. (shut...

the shape of that Burney car struck a chord... I own a couple of BMW Isettas.. neither of which is currently road worthy :cry: and are just in storage. I have owned numerous microcars over the years. I can tell you that an Isetta is quite the driving experience! Although lacking anything...

Lugz! That is a great picture of both of you!

Ha! - the picture was as I bought it, but my OCD couldn't handle that either. It is now properly centered!

Thanks RTM! That sure looks like it. Now i have something to hunt for! ("in the wild" of course.) I could probably come up with the simple one (model 100) but the ratcheting and the convertible handles are are new to me as well. EDIT to say that I started looking through the catalog and you...

Outlaw, the box is 8.5 inches deep, 16 inches wide, and 14.5 inches height. the right hand opening is about 10.5 inches wide, leaving the smaller sections about 4.5 inches wide. the height of the small sections is 4", 5" and 3.5" starting at the bottom and going up. it is surprisingly sturdy...

Wow! Jakes hosted GJ royalty today! I have visited Jakes before on travel and have to agree that it is a good one! I have been out of action for a month or two with family stuff, but did get out today. Dropping by GJ occasionally has been a great inspiration and there have been some amazing...

I'm posting this with a heavy heart... As much as I love old tools, restoring, collecting anything and everything related to it, it takes up too much of my time and I am struggling to keep up with the everyday basics such as cleaning my home, cooking etc. So something has to give. Therefore I...

Great re-use as a frame Lugz! I have to dig around a bit... that looks awfully familiar. I think I may have one or two.
