Since Williams has made tools for around a hundred years they deserve a vintage thread. As soon as my laptop is able to I will post pictures of some of mine. If anybody has some to post please do too. Also please add any links or history about these awesome old USA made tools that you know or...

I picked up this 5 foot belt sander from a good size steel fab company where the owner was retiring. He mentioned it was working up until i bought it. sorry i don't have a way to power it up so hopefully at this price you can either replace the motor or power it up and run it full power. i also...

ALL: some of us have some nice ways to store our tools, parts, nuts & bolts or bits and pieces and not all of us use tool boxes. I started a thread with metal and since that is already ongoing how about a separate one for those wood ones. i've seen a lot of great ones, but can never do a search...

ALL; some of us are as excited about buying a cool old metal cabinet as a new tool or toolbox to store our tools in so let's show them. i've seen some made into dressers and sinks too. also there is a huge inventory of homemade or old toolboxes that you can show off so here's a thread where...

Features: I have a brand new one in the package for $180 plus shipping if you are not local for pick up. this will seriously kick you rear end and i'll show you how to use it if you pick it up in person. there is a video on this link or PM me with any questions. i'm guessing about $20 to ship...

ALL: i don't know a lot about Husky tools, but i can tell quality when i see them and these are great tools. i doubt that this set was ever used, but i'm not sure how old it might be. it was an 85 year old's tools and he had a ton of them so guessing he bought this set and just set it to the...

ALL: so since i joined here almost 2 years ago I've come to love heavy metal cabinets and i found a couple yesterday that again fit the bill. they had spent some time outside so they had some rust on the bottom, but they are in pretty good shape i bet they weigh close to 200 pounds each and...

ALL: i posted this old Cornwell top box on the vintage thread about a year ago and nobody had any idea of the age or the maker. did Cornwell make their own boxes and it looks a lot like my Craftsman top boxes of the early 1940's. i'll get better pictures if anybody asks or as i clean it because...

ALL: so some of us can't seem to pass up a nice old US or English made clamp and not bring it home. I have a few and as soon as i get my shop ORGANIZED i'll maybe have them in only a couple spots. for now i own most of the ones in the bin i'm posting and the 40 pound yellow one. i'd like to make...

All: we get a ton of questions about vise values and if a vise is in good shape or not on the main vise thread and many individual threads. a lot of that value depends on condition. so how about a thread showing what we all should look for that isn't normally easy to see in pictures or even in...

ALL: I picked up these 2 Lincoln Welders that look like torpedoes and are heavier than heck. they both are on very heavy duty carts with old steel wheels too. they are 3 phase and i heard one was working before being replaced by a newer model and not sure what the other one needs. i don't have...

ALL: so i stop at a Practical Machinist member's home to buy his little compressor and he shows me this amazing little paint product he uses on his vintage tools. POR 15 is in a small can because you can only have the can open for a very short time or it will solidify. he takes a basting...

ALL: The members of Garage Journal have always wanted a directory of vises to call our own since we have most of the vises made in the vises of garage journal thread. our vise company list made by the members in post #2 of Vise Repair 101 is probably the longest vise company list in the world...

I have a solid pair of top and bottom Craftsman Crown Top tool boxes. they are a bit rusty on the outside and surprisingly decent on the inside. all the drawers work and the bottom roller does have a front cover that covers all 8 drawers. i can ship if you want to pay shipping or pick up in...

ALL: I'm picking up this Wells #12 bandsaw (hacksaw) that doesn't work and hoping to have it working again. I've started googling and will post information as i find more, but always interested in asking members if they have or know of one and their thoughts. the first 4 pictures are of the...

ALL: I have a client that wants to sell me his shop's 3 phase 24 inch wheels sander along with the press to put the paper on the spare wheel when it needs a new one. so my question is does anybody have one of these and since i already own a 12 inch small one on a 1/2 HP motor should i spend the...

I have a very nice 1978 Wilton C-2 bullet combination vise that has the big pipe jaws. it weighs over 100 pounds and is maybe the nicest vise Wilton vise company makes. Shipping to anywhere in the US via Fastenal is another $125-150 which buyer is responsible for if you need it shipped. not sure...
