Try looking up the Sherline "Craftsmanship Museum" lots of stuff in just about any category shown there all built/machined on smaller equipment.

Someday i think Canadian Tire will be in court for false advertising, Re: Their list price, Vs. "Hey, have we got a DEAL for you".

Wow, all you guys are doing great!! Can't wait till the sales start up in my area.

Agree with the posting about standing them upright in a container to soak, leave them for a week, even kerosene will creep in , then mix some oil in with it and as posted work them. I'm presently try to unlock a pair of outside calipers this way.

Good find Jon, wondering what name is on this mill, HP of the motor, and what taper is it? Did you get the manual also?

Nice work 94, great to see older machines rebuilt and reused again.

I suppose this is a tool: My Poulan 56cc chainsaw bought new in 88 and used every spring to cut 12-15 face cords of firewood. it has never been apart, starts on second pull after sitting all winter. Still has the original pull cord, just last year i had to change the two little fuel lines due...

You failed to state if the change gears were with it, and if there were any accessories.

Being built heavy it would also make a great machine base.

Cowboy 73, thank you for the interesting info. Much appreciated. I had never seen any Bluebird tools in my area, (N. E. Ontario) before.

I picked up a set of Bluebird pliers, They are stamped with the Bluebird tools name and "Forged in the USA". I see numerous Bluebird tools on Ebay when i googled the name,, but no other info,,can someone tell me who made these pliers, they appear quite old? Thanks for any info.

Outlander, you are not alone, i think it is going to be another couple of weeks yet before the garage/yard sales start at least in my area anyway.

Real nice work everyone, enjoyable viewing!!

Nice work 94, that fan is very nice!!

JMO , i personally wouldn't buy it, it would be babbit bearing, (Not that that is always a bad thing,) but the RPM limits of it won't be too high for turning smaller work. Agreed, it's too bad the owner dismantled the project then gave up on it.

As has been posted many times lathe and mill prices vary much by location. The South Bend Model "A" in decent shape with about 30 inches between centers, and some tooling usually goes for well above 1 Thousand.

Cool idea, and the bookends would be cool also!!

When looking at the pic i too wondered about the rack, it could have came from another piece of equipment, as i saw an old washing machine years back that had a similar rack in the transmission, but it was square, not round. But it sure does look like a drill press spindle/rack.

Yes a lot of Scroll saws back then were also built using pipe frames. Couple of years ago i picked up a very nice 14 inch bandsaw, frame all built out of large pipe, an exceptional build, with some of the nicest braze welding on the joints i have ever seen. All steel, the builder spent a lot of...

I wondered about that machine also, nicely built by the pic of what we can see of it.
