Columbus Day Weekend Score :beer:

My labor Day Haul... I have to stop here posting pics...i started wanting to highlight my favorites...but its turning into individual pics of everything lol!

Thanks Outlaw, I am already liking the Woden alot and its still on the floor of the garage where i put it yesterday afternoon :) I am dreaming of building another bench...time is against me but a man can dream. I think you meant this fella here, Littlestown No400 4 1/2" jaws removable faces...

No Russian or Polish Vises...or German. I have a Japanese clamp mount. I went out hunting today. Came across quite a few vises, And this English brute of a gentleman... WODEN 186 B/2 About 40lbs of English Steel 3 1/2" Jaws, removable faces Thanks for looking, i can't help but...

I am not sure if you are refering to my plumb hatchet...if so, yes the eye was certainly spread open but fairly symmetrical. Personally, I like the character it holds and came to me with. Now, the BSA Collins Hatchet is a real beauty and I would do very little to that, just because it's so...

I think from the pictures careful peening should do nicely perhaps a flat and mill ******* files will help clean up the poles also. I have only used a file on the mushroomed poles and burrs made by use and abuse. If you use a poplar wedge most hardware stores should carry a box of varying wedge...

AM CO Athol Ma I have a few others....on the floor or resting on a bench or shelf

I brought this Wilton W 9 64 10" X 4" Woodworkers vise home yesterday... I am going to need to build another bench! Sunday mornings treasure quest! Thanks for looking. Any information or a link to a Wilton woodworking vise thread here in GJ would greatly be appreciated. I've...

That's a beauty...might be a little worn, shortened from use, but it's a beauty just the same. Perhaps taking a brush with WD40 or carefully using a wire cup wheel brush in a drill, clean the head of any noticable rust and rehang back on it's original looking handle it seems to have come with to...

Thanks @Smitty I was very excited when the opportunity to rescue this vise came up. Huge bang for the not so many bucks! All the Information I have found so far has come from the G.J. history thread, post #18 below. A great thread packed with some great and valuable information, right here at...

Thank you and I think the spring, wedges and the bracket are all original also. Sadly the threaded pipe extension is welded. Not the end of the world, I will try cutting it away to see how much of the original leg is jammed into the pipe, so I hopefully dont lose any original leg by just...

I recently brought home this fella here... https://www.garagejournal.com/forum/showpost.php?p=7156769&postcount=18 I hope to get to it soon. Break it down, Check the screw, the box, check the spring action. If the screw and box are goo...and I hope they are good still...I will have a...

I happen to have recently brought home a NO 60 I hope to get the No 60 cleaned up and set up for use soon. The spring is a little weak or worn but the screw lines up and the action is smooth Great information, thank you

You will need to do some thinning and shaping to make any handle fit, however you could use the bank blade handle shared by @sevenhills1952 or even use a straight or curved axe handle to your length and liking. Places like house handle or beavertooth handle or any number of online or hardware...

Post up pics of the other axes you have questions about...the eye could be poor quality, abuse, left out in the freeze and thaw for years. The Collins 5lb rafter is a sweet axe. Hardened pole for pounding wedges and log dogs and everything in between.

A few treasures have come my way these last few days...

This may be a little older thread but I am glad its here. Thank you @woody 73 I started looking becasue I recently brought home this beauty Wells & Bros.Tap wrench, little giant, Greenfield Ma, and it looks like a "C" on the handle. I believe I have it date ranged to 1888-1912 but I could be...

Well...This is the moment, my tool collecting just grew to include vises. :) Thank you @va.grouseman the links are great and my Zee Co is having a soak for a bit while I decide how best to use and than mount it. It does have some good heft to it and I like the low profile. That said, there are...
