    First Official Restoration-Baby Bullet

    If someone were to 3D print that or cast themnin pot metal- I bet you could sell them for $50 each to a bunch of us on here listed as a buissiness card holder! In fact, put me down for the first one!

    HF/Pittsburgh Low Profile 3 Ton Floor Jack

    I have had two- the first ones seals were bad within a week- rerurned and exchanged on the spot. The second one has the irritating problem of the front C clip popping out and allowing a wheel to go rogue. This only happens when there is a letteral load. I wish I could afford a super low...

    WOTL: Displaying Vintage & Sentimental Work Apron

    Just a thought, but hanging it may cause it to fail at the point it passes over the nail. This is especially true if you use metal. If this is omething you want to keep for generations, but do not want to pay huge money for a conservator to deal with, thenbi would use a flate frame, acid free...

    Outside outlet

    I had to replace my outside cover at an old place I rented. F-tard nieghbors were using it with two extension cords split out to run heaters in thier house when they failed to pay the propane man. Caught it within a couple days. Unfortunately it was on the same breaker as my outside lights- so I...

    Looking for a ratchet with internal socket storage (ultra-portable set)

    It's called a adjustable wrench- or bosuns hammer. Take two sizes, the small one to use and the big one to hit people who try to take the small one.

    Flea market find.

    Saw a show once about old mills, they used something very similar to sew bags closed. I don-t think its for leather- the foot for withdrawl of the needle means it most likely isn't for lighter weights of hide, the bend innthe handle would severly limit the leverage applied to push through- nor...

    Stumped again. What are these?

    Not for leather. Possibly burnishing metal. If this is outbof the same hoard as the last set, I am starting to be curious if your previos owner was some sort of mold maker.

    What are these?? and some nice finds today

    Not to argue with any experts, but I am betting the stamps are more for Repoussé and metal decoration. They look to be hardened steel. Three of hammers are chasing hammers (engraving). Most of the old binders and tooling stamps came out of Philadelphia (Wm. ROSE) or Sheffield England. Tandy...

    best dremel type took out there?

    My friend is a jewler (a real one who still casts metal and mounts stones). He uses a foredom made tool. It was his fathers teel before him. I remember seeing his dad polish and trim metal with it 30 years ago. Daily use. 30 years. If I was doing more head and valve work it is absolutely what...

    Getting into HVAC, need tool suggestions!

    Good set of gloves. They do not have to be insulated. I had my boss turn a valave of my storage tank, he wasnt qualified, but had a pay grade on me. Took almost a month for the blisters from the frost bite to finally disappear. I'm not an OSHA nazi, in fact I stand by the quote that you can't...

    Tool for cutting Romex (NM sheathed)

    This may sound rediculous, but when I run wire like that (not super often, but becoming more than once a year) my absolute favorite tool is a pair of dog toe nail clippers. They were on my bench one day, and happened to fall into my hand when I needed to cut up an extension cord that had been...

    Help me design a DIY Oil Extractor

    Not an expert- but when the CG went to a stupid FLOCS system for several of our small boats with a mandated $1500 pneumatic pump that . eghed too much and had to be 4' from the port to work- I built a 5 gallon bucket, bolted a large 12V transfer pump on top and it worked like a champ. A sister...

    Monarch vises

    They seem to be more attractive to most because of the aesthetic trade mark. They also seem to be less common. Aesthetics + rareity of any collectable item makes it more valuable to the open market as a general rule.
