I agree. Weld prep a deep V in the brake and drill a 1/8 hole at the end of the brake and nickel rod. Tig would control the heat beter.

What makes you say that? And were there any major company's making these stands?

How would they have been used Don?

I have been watching this stand for about five years at my buddy's small engine shop sitting outside. They were going to mount a vise on it but decided to let me have it. I checked weather cast steel or cast iron with the spark test and it is definitely cast iron. Anyone have any idea what it...

Is that the same as the outfit on Smokestack?

You go Don. I am sure it will look good when you get it complete.

Bummer. That would of been a classic. Watching Leave it to Beaver on TV and I like watching the old tools and appliances they used. What year was that show on?

Great idea. I have a neighbor friend who works wonders with the synthetic's material on tables.

I agree. And I have read through the article or one similar and completed a handle years ago. But back then it was very difficult matching the wood. But this world has come a long way since then. If the weather warms up I may try again.

I thought more two handed Disston saws would pop up. But I found my other saw which isn't in very good shape. Debating on restore or let it alone.

Great job. I have one of the Homecrafts with the 5 in one shop tools. I plan on rebuilding and selling it when life clears up. Were you able to save much of the motor on that one? And why did you change the table?

I can hear Don sing. She thinks my jacks are ****. I agree.

What part of this country do you find these tools? I am just curious if you are in California or mid country or east. Here in Ky I just never come across these cool tolls.

That is a gem. You will not find anything that comes close to a great drill made today. I know the new lighter plastic drills are nice and light but will never last another 50 years. I bet I have gone through 3 DeWalt drills in the past 20 years. Great find. I know I am not telling you...

They are glad you asked.

And hook 220 to it. Fried squirrel every day. lol. My wife loves to watch em.

Good idea. I was going to try coins first. But I have a good bit of lead shot.

This is a interesting hammer. I found it at the scrap yard for 50 cents. I thought at first it was homemade but as further review it had a pure rubber handle, and the head is removable with threads. It weighs 1.3 pounds, and I assume you can place a small weight in the head to have a true...

Very cool. I have a few friction drive lawn boy loafers, but the first drill press.

Welcome. Those look very well made. That is one of the reasons Germany was such a powerhouse. Do you have more to show?
