    Mystery Tool

    Yeah, there are no other markings on it. I don't know how to get repeated correct angles using this thing since nothing moves. The metal would be straight up, and may vary in angle a little bit because there is no slot inside for it to fit into. Depending on the width of the metal strip or...

    Bargain Hunting

    The last thing I bought at a pawn shop was a railroad spike hammer. Paid $10 for it. I don't plan on going to work for the railroad, but it looks cool leaning up against my wall.

    Mystery Tool

    Here is the view from the underside. There is no other markings except what is on the front, so no patent number or date is visible. Also, the face does not rotate. I wonder if an adjustable transfer rule is what is missing. Still scratching my head.

    Mystery Tool

    I think this may be an early form of a machinist square. Am I right? The two knobs on the front unscrew and the round face opens up enough for a machinist ruler to fit through and stick straight up. What is the purpose of this type of design compared to the modern machinist square? How common is...

    Remember the Morton Salt slogan?

    Yep, I have a broken down zero turn mower that I haven't gotten around to fix in a couple of months, but like Pa Kettle says "I'll get around to it one of these days". I also am having trouble getting a seat belt buckle for a 97 LaSabre. Seems all the surrounding year models have some slightly...

    Just joined up!!

    Bcom, I don't know hardly anything about vices, but I appreciate your passion for them and I totally agree with you. I hope the USA will start making a lot of quality products again. It's so bad, that today I couldn't even get a large pancake at a local diner I like to go to on weekends. The...

    Howdy and welcome. My in-laws live up near Spencerport. Love the area. I like woodworking as well, but haven't found the time to really make a pile of sawdust like I want to. Maybe one day, I will.

    Hello

    Howdy and welcome. Good finds on the vices. I am not sure about the Parker vice. I think one of mine is a Parker and it is blue, but they seemed to have used various colors over time. The Prentiss looks to have been black. Very nice looking vice.

    Wood Question

    While I am not a chef, I do think that the smoke from a pine tree will affect the taste of food which is why hickory is the best choice (in my area) for cooking bbq.
