I agree with outlaw. The front horseshoe with the single thick headed machine screw is a certain tell. I can barely make out lettering on the top edge of that piece that almost certainly spells out PARKER. But I see 4 pictures showing views of that vise in the shop and don’t see any “smaller”...

Sand lightly. Wash thoroughly. Apply good quality primer… I use Stix. Then 2 coats of acrylic satin finish and you’ll be good to go. Unless there are major defects, I wouldn’t use filler. If you apply with a roller, the resulting texture will hide very minor imperfections. If you want a show...

I agree. The locking pins are usually next to impossible to extract. It took me WAY too long to free up one of mine.

That pic shows the inside of a Wilton machinist style vise with a round slide. The clearances on that design run about .002 inches. On my user Wilton C1 I keep a light coat of Mobil One grease on the slide. I drape a shop rag over the exposed part of the slide if I am doing something like sawing...

Old tool guy: By now, you must have tried one of our suggestions. Did something work for you or ??? Hopefully you didn’t go with the gasoline suggestion and try it while standing near your water heater. 😱

I agree that nitrile gloves would have been a good idea. 😎 Now that that black goop is on your fingers, I suggest trying WD-40

You may not know that your Griswold frying pan will bring close to $100 on eBay. Selling just that one item will cover your cost of the entire haul. You ****! BTW, nice chair! Is it marked or tagged on the underside? Might be more valuable or less valuable than you think. 🤷‍♂️

Interesting knife! Even more interesting is what I found about knife laws in your home state of Louisiana. You can carry any knife of any size and description open or concealed as long as you aren’t on school property or within 1000 feet of a school. In that zone most private citizens can’t...

All the above suggestions are good. I’m late to join this discussion but I want to give a “you ****” comment to tool_scrounge for scoring a 10+ drawer Vidmar tool cabinet for $0.00. Even though it wasn’t all clean and ready to go when you got it, it’s still a fantastic box. 👍

I don’t see evidence of there being a bottom (at floor level) block at all. Am I missing something?

Probably not this.

Best answer so far. 😎

Nice looking box probably from the 1960’s right? For $10, you got a good deal no matter what is inside. Do we get any clues? Does it rattle like small loose things such as sockets or not much rattling like maybe a single larger solid object? Without any clues, I’d guess it contains primarily...

Don’t feel like starting over? In my experience, in time that very minor leak will seal itself up. In the future, follow above suggestions. Give it some time before taking it all apart.

Ohio sounds quite open regarding those. Nice! Here in CA you can carry a switchblade as long as the blade is under 2 inches. Switchblades, including automatic and gravity knives, are legal to own, carry, and manufacture in Ohio. Following the passage of Senate Bill 140 in April 2021, the...

Do whatever it takes to hold on to that woman, 😎

Nice rig Sounds like you are good to go.

Thanks I have some 50+ year old trees that are only about a foot tall growing in pots but that’s a different topic.

I bet I am not the only GJ guy who envies a fellow member whose wife loves getting serious power tools as gifts. 😎

30 foot tall trees in that kind of shape are difficult or impossible to fix In a reasonable amount of time. Years. My suggestion of ARS extension pruners is more for removing dead twigs, fine tuning and maintenance of branch structure. Here is a pic from a few years ago of what my 10 foot high...
