    2 finds at scrap yard today

    #1 is an old woodworking vise. Early 1900s Sheldon rapid acting vise. Measure the opening to determine which one you have. The #3 and #4 physical jaw dimensions are the same, 3" x 7.5". The 3 opens to 8.5" the 4 opens to 9". A #5 has jaws that are 3.5" x 8" and opens to 12".

    What kind of tools have you found in the road??

    Picked these up out of a turn lane a few days ago. Ran them across the wire wheel and hit them with fluid film. Don't appear to have been used that much.

    BroncoAz, I don't understand the algorithms for Amazon. I put the vise in my cart but didn't pay for it. $73ish total after coupon, now if I open the link above again I see the same prices you do.

    At what point would you buy a battery operated nailer compared to using a hammer?

    It is stronger than the HF. I wasn't expecting that type of difference but it hit harder when set to full depth. HF lists the 3 in 1 nailer which is what I have at about 12lbs. The M18 is listed at 10.1lbs, a 5AH XC adds 1.5lbs so closer in weight than I thought.

    At what point would you buy a battery operated nailer compared to using a hammer?

    I bought the M18 21 degree framing and 16ga nailers a few weeks ago. I was sitting on enough gift cards to cover both and I all ready have batteries and chargers. Without the gift cards I wouldn't have bought them due to the cost. I'm rebuilding the front porch and what pushed me to buy them...

    Blade Selection For 1930's Craftsman (Walker Turner) 24" Jig Saw Help Needed

    Not sure which brand you are using but look at the Flying Dutchman. Look at the Polar and Heavy Duty lines in a lower tooth count like you mentioned. Maybe a #7 or #9 for your thicker cuts.

    Delta Homecraft Scroll Saw

    I haven't seen a list break down of dates for the single alpha character serial numbers. Consensus is those types of serial numbers were from the late 40s to early 50s. I would guess yours is pre-50s.

    1920-60s DELTA / ROCKWELL picture thread - Post your Delta!

    Farmer, that serial number is a 1951. It also has the riser block (LBS28)which is of value to some people. Check the blade lengths on those spares to see if they are all to be used with the riser block due to the extra length. As for the jointer, if you feel you need or may need one down the...

    Delta Rockwell 14” Band Saw

    Serial number puts it as a '58 made at the Tupelo factory. As mentioned check out the OWWM classifieds once you are accepted on the forums. As of this post there is a set on there a few pages back. They are the curved spokes and they are not mine. GL.

    Can anyone help me identify this machine I think it’s a plainer and then a hand saw and extension ladder

    That is a Delta jointer I'd say pre 1943 as those table adjustment handles last showed up in the 1942 manuals. The saw looks like a Stanley miter box if you wanted to look one up on the auction site.
