Pat No. 1727623 You can check it out here. http://www.google.com/patents?vid=USPAT1727623 Oddly your patent number shows up as a typographical machine. http://www.google.com/patents/US1127628?dq=1127628&ei=RrWpUIawM4268wTemIGICQ

A guy at work picked up a couple of Ridgid pipe wrenches at an estate sale a couple weeks ago. I bought one from him and cleaned it up as it had seen better days. Here it is as I purchased it. It's had a cheater bar on it at some point and was bent in both directions. I managed to get the...

Definately overpriced. It looks like a standard Chinese 3-Ton arbor press. Northern Tools has it for $230 http://www.northerntool.com/shop/tools/product_20674_20674

Yeah, a whole $2. He wasn't selling the complete set previously. I wasn't going to quibble over the price.

I went back to the same dealer at the flea market and dug around some more. What did I find attached to the end of a rusty extension? The 5/8" socket I was missing. The guy also had a Snap On TQFR250C 1/2" drive 250ftlb torque wrench. What is a good price on those? Think I could get by...

I can't believe I missed this thread! Congrats on the DP. I love mine. I think you'll like that saw as well. John is going to have a side business fixing Clausings!

I went to scrounge around the local flea market like I do every weekend and was rewarded by finding most of a Snap-On socket set. It is the 3/8" drive deep 6 pt SAE SFS081-SFS281 set though the 5/8" SFS201 socket is missing. Not much wear but pretty rusty inside. I also found a Snap-On 5"...

If you enjoy woodworking you might want to give them a try. I do woodworking as a hobby and enjoy using older tools. I find that once you've sharpened the irons on planes and taken a little time to set them up they work quite well. I find the regular planes useful for flattening boards that...

Nice buy. Looks like a good machine. Your wobble could be from the chuck, spindle, or bearings. First check to make sure the chuck is tight on the spindle. It is held on with a collar so it might havecome loose. If it is on tight, Without the press running, grab the chuck and see if you can...

Killer deal on a great saw. They're still copied by everyone to this day. For $10 it was a steal. I just finished replacing bearings and tires on a Rockwell version of this saw. Check out my site if you want to see what is involved in doing that: http://somanyhobbies.wordpress.com/ It's a...

I'll push my post I started a while back: http://www.garagejournal.com/forum/showthread.php?t=94265 From it you might find this post with Spongerich's vise that looks like yours:http://www.garagejournal.com/forum/showpost.php?p=1275150&postcount=27 His is stamped 1-46 which is the date the...

Lucky! That's a sweet vise at a great price!

4Sevens makes good stuff. I've got a Quark "X" 123^2 that I'm happy with . It puts out a lot of light for such a small flashlight.

I don't think you did that bad for $25. I don't think the part missing from the threaded piece will affect it as long as it isn't cracked. It kinda looks like a crack in one of the pics of the threaded piece but that could be a casting line or something. Do the jaws need to come off? If so...

If you haven't yet, head on over to owwm.com and owwm.org to find out info on your machine. The forum side (.org) is full of folks, like myself, who love restoring old machinery and can answer the more detail oriented questions you may have. Check into Rohm chucks as well. Jacobs seems to be...

Yes, I saw it in the vise thread and thought it was so nice I had to add it. Thanks for the additional information!

What do you think of this version of the timeline? Its in a slideshow presentation style with more pictures. Currently its only partially done, but if folks like it I'll add more. Find it here https://docs.google.com/open?id=0B1SLQ-bU1rvBZVBDc1dSLXlqdHc David

After a long hiatus I've updated the timeline to include the newest vises listed since. I've updated the link in the first post of the thread. I'm also considering changing the format on the timeline to show more pictures but am still up in the air. Thanks for the info!

The Leek is a great knife. I've carried the composite one for the better part of two years. The Blur is another good US made knife from Kershaw.

Probably a problem with one of the bearings in the motor. The belt pulls on the shaft which puts a sideload on the bearings and can cause the knock to be worse than if the belt was not on. Pull the motor and take it apart. The bearings can be removed and replaced pretty easily.
