    Thanks for the info. You're right the ball peen hammer is steel, no markings on it though. Do you know what they were used for? The tap handle is a Miller Falls I can't read the rest. I've seen bigger tap handles just not T handle.(I should have clarified) I wasn't sure what that forging...

    Thanks. I have to clean it up, and eventually paint it. But it works great and when he said $40 I said I'll be right back and ran to the ATM. I got back so fast he said I didn't even have time to clean the stuff off it.:lol:

    Just bought a Buffalo Forge #15 drill press for $40. The previous owner put wood on it so there aren't any drill marks in it. I think it has the original motor too, Westinghouse 1/3 hp. It even has the original wood knobs.

    Nut & Bolt Storage

    Re: Nut & Bolt Storage Thanks. I don't know who I saw do it but I'm in the process of saving and acquiring every empty quart of oil. So I can cut the bottoms off and use them in the drawers. They fit perfect.

    When to a sale yesterday and got a Popular Mechanics vise for $10. Then I dug through a box of sockets and found 5 craftsman sockets, a craftsman 1/4 in. ratchet, and a 1/4 in. sk ratchet. Payed $3:thumbup: for that stuff.

    Thanks for the help.:thumbup: I going to restore what I have and try to fab a motor mount like Outlaws. I'll take pics and see how it goes I don't have much experience with restoration or custom fab. But what better to learn on then a machine that already doesn't work.:lol:

    Show us your cool, "old" drill press

    I wanted to make it original but after seeing everything i'm missing I really like your idea of a hinged motor mount. Do you have any pics? I googled it and got a pretty good idea of what your saying. Even though it's missing all the pulleys $25 still seems like a good deal to me.

    I'm in the process of hopefully buying this Buffalo Forge Drill press. It's my first drill press and will be my first attempt at restoration. It's missing the motor. He only wants $25 for it, which I thought was a steal. What do you guys think?
