Yet another machinist’s box found its way Into my life, not complaining bc they’re fun to restore and still seem to hold value. This latest one is a craftsman. It’s missing the front door, anyone know where I might locate one? I’m not sure on the exact model yet but I’m having trouble finding...

Ok thank you, I found some stuff that goes into the mix so maybe that’ll cut it. Disregard this post. I figured it out

Any ideas on how to get new concrete to match the step’s sand like color? I’m finishing up a paint job but the nice lady that owns the house wants these cracks filled and I’d like to match it the best I can. I’ll be chipping out all this gray concrete. It’ll crack again in the future but she...

I’ve just finished up a refinish on this old globe wernicke columbia file cabinet but something is still bothering me. It has 3 of these beautiful clip boards and I know if I can brighten those colors up a bit it’ll help it sell. I’m open to suggestions, not really trying to use anything that’ll...

I’m sure some of you have owned or sold an old shop locker before and might can shed a little light. I want to buy this from my neighbor for my garage, I love the older stuff for obvious reasons. You won’t much in my garage that was made after 1970 unless it’s something I use on the jobsite...

I finished the table last week. Very happy with it and I’ll gladly keep it if it doesn’t sell. I cut part of the leg out to get rid of that design, a lot of sanding, stain and sprayed it with satin poly.

That was my guess too but didn’t want to lead anyone. Not the biggest fan of hog but it’s really pretty piece so I’ll probably keep it light colored as I can. Thx for response

I usually remove or just use pads if I keep the piece.

Here’s the top and another pic of side. I’ve had sanded everything except for the two sides which I used my sander but will be hand sanding everything before stain. Started with 60, 220, 400 and I’m currently about to hit everything with 1500. I usually do a light 3000 swipe over everything as...

I’m refinishing this little side table, what type of wood does this look like?

I recently finished a light restore on a Gerstner box and a did a major restore on a destroyed Union box months back. It’s not that I was looking for a Gerstner but one popped up locally for a very fair price just needed a little tlc. I’m going to sell one of the two probably closer to the...

I mean I’ve always sharpen my own saw chains since I was a kid but that’s about it when it comes to filing. Ain’t much I can’t do so maybe I’ll give it a try, thanks

Yep that’s the HG3 I mentioned.

I just got this G. & Sons box. Did a light restore, didn’t need much but as usual the key is missing. I’ve searched the usual routes but I must be missing something bc I’m not seeing it. It has a Yale HG3 lock and the box is a #241( box number is probably irrelevant but included anyway. I also...

Thank you. Was the pricing reasonable? You remember how much?

Good morning, just got my hands on a gerstner & sons tool chest and I broke it down mainly to restore the hardware and install new felt. I’ll be putting it back together soon and wanted to know if anyone had a better way of installing the split rivets. I restored a Union chest months back so...

Looking for replacement keys for an Excelsior lock #432. Already tried the eBay route with one seller but that was a nightmare, was sent a completely wrong key so back to square one. Thanks for any help.
