These lamps are all identical. The previous owner had them mounted on all his machines. They are made by National Morelight Co, in Buffalo, NY. The goosenecks are sturdy; they will stay put. The shades are plastic and they thread on to the lamp socket. They mount onto a bracket with a 3/8"...

Includes the often missing jaws on the top. Top is 7x7, base is 8x8. Top rotates 360* It needs a good cleaning and lubrication. Everything turns and operates as it should, but it's pretty stiff. I wire wheeled the top surface and it cleaned up nicely. It is all complete and nothing is broken...

Yay! The C3 is finished. Here's an update on my fix for a Wilton C3. The dynamic jaw was slightly loose from the slide. The pin holding it in place was a little sloppy in it's hole. https://www.garagejournal.com/forum/threads/the-vises-of-garage-journal.44782/post-10958521 I ended up...

I just thought of another idea. Clean the threads good and use red Loctite on them. There is a lot of surface area on those threads. I would think it would hold pretty well. Then install the old pin.

A progress report on my Wilton C3. I got the "tapered" pin out. It's not tapered. Perhaps replaced by a previous owner. It fits tight in the slot in the slide, but there is a little slop in the hole in the jaw, hence the right-left wobble. The jaw is indeed threaded onto the slide. It...

TheRealZeus: I think my key and keyway slot are fine. I need to secure the jaw to the slide cylinder.

Thanks, Paulsomlo. That's what I found as well. I was thinking if I push that pin in and it still rocks back and forth, maybe drill another hole at 10:30 and hammer in a roll pin. But first, install the screw and tighten it up with the jaws aligned. I guess the trick would be how to locate...

I'm restoring a Wilton C3 vise and have run into an issue that I need a little help on. The dynamic jaw is slightly loose on the slide. It rotates about 3/16" right and left. The key and keyway fit well. The slop is definitely between the slide and the front jaw. First two pictures show how...

Estate sale last week. Got there 1 hour before they handed out entry numbers and 2 hours before opening time. I was #6 in line. #1 and #2 said they got there the night before. Not sure what they saw in the pictures, but it must of been valuable. My purchases: 1977 Case Texas Jack two 1978...

Not a huge score, but a couple nice items from an estate sale last week. Paid $12 for the Case knife and $6 for the vise. These little older craftsman vises are cool I think. 2 1/2 " jaws and very well made.

Fly Guy: I like that ACA Craftsman. I think that meant Amazing Cutting Action! Sears always seems to jazz up their descriptions. Here are the rest of the knives I picked up last week at three different sales. I need to slow down. Maybe go to a meeting for knife-aholics.

I picked this up last week at an estate sale for $9. These were sold in 1977 for the 50th anniversary of the Craftsman brand. They were $12.97 in 1977, which is $68 in today's dollars, so not a cheap knife.

Not sure why, but knives keep following me home. This week's estate sale knives: 7 Cases, 2 Winchesters, one Hen & Rooster, and one Kabar. At least they don't take up much space and care and feeding is minimal. :)

Thanks guys. Yes the tenon jig came with it. Also the dado insert and the blade guard. The paint is original. Has the 1 horse bullet motor, which is plenty for what I do. Some will say you need 3 or even 5 hp.

I picked up this 1950 Unisaw about 5 years ago at a local estate sale. It replaced my Walker Turner cabinet saw. Nothing was wrong with the W-T, but there's just something about the older Unisaws. Here are a couple pictures of bringing it home and after it was cleaned up and in the shop.

I fought the crowd at an estate sale today in a cramped little house. Probably caught at least one or two communicable diseases. But at least I came home with a couple decent items. A nice block grinder ($40) and a little Case pen knife ($15). Stag handles, damascus blade, dated 1989.

My Wards Master Quality miter box. These were made for Wards by Stanley.

Went to an estate sale yesterday where they don't give out entry numbers. So I got there early and stood in line for about 90 minutes. I was number 11 in line. They let in 15 to start. Surprisingly, nobody even looked at the knives besides me. I came home with these seven for $90. Three...

It fits either side on a 6" grinder and includes the three screws. $20 plus shipping. Paypal, check or money order. Send a PM with your zip, and I'll get you a total.
