    hacksaws?

    Didn't take to long to clean this one up. Filed off the casting lines that ran around the outside and inside perimeter of the handle. Sanded and a quick polish.

    hacksaws?

    I lightly sanded the rust off with a red scotch brite pad.Then I use foam backed polishing pads. The pads are 2 inch by 2 inch squares and starts at 320 grit all the way up to 3500 grit. I start with 320 and cont up to 3500; after that I take it to a buffer wheel.

    Clamps Antique and Vintage

    Another free one for me. Just because it’s clean and painted don’t assume that it’s not old. I was offered this clamp last year when I closed down one of our companies offices. This was in the machine shop. They said I can have it if I want it. And I thought to myself “naw it’s new”. So a year...

    SHOW OFF YOUR VINTAGE METAL CANS AND CONTAINERS!! oil, gas, ointments, and just cans

    Never paid attention to this 3-1 can. I just assumed it was new. Don’t remember when I got it. But know I had it for a while. Maybe got it from my mom. Well today I notice the price tag that says GEMCO. GEMCO closed in 1986. Guess this will now be part of my display.

    Husky wrench - when was it made?

    Thank you, I thought they were a little older. But I was fooled by the pebble finish and the made in USA. I will pass on them even though they were free. I try to stay late 70's or earlier on my tool collecting.

    Husky wrench - when was it made?

    Bringing up an older thread. Do you have any idea how old this Husky wrench is? I checked Alloy Artifacts but I do not see this style logo with the underline only going to the H. Someone offered to give me about 4 or 5 of them. They are a combo open end box end.

    Model T tools

    If I remember correctly there are 2 versions of the Ford scripted hand tire pumps. There's a doubled script one and a single script. Picked this up a couple years back. I painted the Ford script white to give it some pop.

    Antique Car/Truck Jacks

    Those are cool. There's something about these jacks that I love. All of them are considered screw jacks. Likely dates are from the 1920's to the 1930's. As for collectability, There might be some that collect them for period correct cars. Other than that they make cool shelf pieces. (Unless...

    Restoring lettering on plastic-handle tools

    I used a China marker/grease pencil with decent luck. The excess wipes off with a dry cloth. Also this method is for more display purposes. I think if you were to use the tool then my method wear off fast. I've also tried making the engraving a little deeper with a rounded off awl before...

    The VINTAGE toolboxes of Garage Journal!

    Here's the 1970's rusty old tool box somewhat cleaned up. Washed it then scrubbed it with a scotch brite pad. Did one coat of Boiled Linseed oil on it. Now that it cured for 2 days I will probably do one more coat today. Added some tool box liner to the drawers and top. Saved this tool box...
