    let's see your craftsman block grinders

    https://www.garagejournal.com/forum/showthread.php?t=325057&highlight=craftsman+pedestal There is already pretty good thread regarding adding casters to an existing stand. It was an option with the original, but ball casters of that size do not seem to be available any more.

    Show your oiler cans

    I found another SwingSpout oiler at an estate sale today. It looks to be in pretty good condition, though somewhat dirty. I think a little cleanup with Dawn dish soap should get it looking pretty good. I've never seen a 5 qt oiler before, but it makes sense to use one large oiler to fill up for...

    Multiple Restoration Projects

    Any time I take something apart, I put the various pieces in ziplock bags. Small pieces go in small bags, labeled (with a description in case I forget what it is), and the small bags are placed into a large ziplock, labeled, etc.
