This generator has been sitting unused in my folks garage for about 25 years. It has 1.8 hours on it - probably from its initial test run. What would you guys do in order to assure a safe start up? Is there an overhead valve train on this type of motor that might want to be oiled before...

Have a appointment in the morning to go see this saw. It's $100 but needs work. Clamps are obviously pneumatic not hydraulic as stated. Wondering if it is a quality saw that would be worth the effort to repair. Anyone recognize the brand or better yet, model? Thanks. From Seller: This...

I have made it 11 years without ever having to ask an oil question but here we are today and I have one for you. Technically this for a friend so perhaps this doesn't count against my flawless "no oil" question history;). Buddy of mine picked up this cute little tool post grinder and I am...

My mom just finished up a project she started 32 years ago. I think next time she comments on how long some of my projects take, I should remind her of this;). Have a wonderful Mother's Day everyone...

I picked up a vintage wooden machinist chest today. It looks like it had labels or name tags at some point but they are missing now. A quick look on the site below was not immediately helpful. https://sites.google.com/site/theguideforwoodmachinistchests/system/app/pages/sitemap/hierarchy...

This brake is part of an estate. The seller doesn't know much about it and the label is worn away. The other tools in the estate seem to be good old USA brands. I have been looking for a 12 or 16 ga. Box & pan brake for a while now. Thanks!

Been watching the shelters, rescues and Craigslist for a few months waiting for something to catch my eye. There is certainly no shortage of pit bulls or Chihuahuas out there! Last week I found this ******* CL. She is a lab/shepherd mix according to her paperwork. She's 55 pound, 9 months...

Hey guys, I am corresponding with the owner of these boxes. He just sent me a single pic. The top box looks like it might be a K5 but I haven't figured out the bottom box yet. I have requested more photos. He is in the next state over but I don't know how far away yet. He says it is army...

I bought this beautiful set from a 95 year old Danish gentleman last week. He brought it over from the "old country" in 1964 and believes he bought it 10 - 15 years before that. He was very proud of this set and took great care of it although he did manage to lose the long extension at some...

I picked up this cabinet last month. Seller thought it was a Lista but I can't find any labels. All the rollers are good so a quick clean and lube was all it needed to be put into service!

I like these wrenches. $25 on Portland Craigslist http://portland.craigslist.org/clk/tls/4501296901.html

Why are you guys wasting time straightening and polishing vise handles?;) http://portland.craigslist.org/wsc/tls/4462696236.html

On local Craigslist today. I like the lower box with its shallow drawer arrangement. Anybody recognize it? P.S. I won't be buying this set and was only curious about the lower box. If it fits anyone's needs, the link is below (Portland, OR)...

One of my favorite hardware stores is doing some remodeling. I noticed that they had new hardware bins so I asked if they were getting rid of any of the old ones. "Take all you want" I was told. Now if I can just find some space in the shop…..

This set came up for sale/trade locally this morning. I have no need for another box but I kind of like the looks of this set. Can anybody identify and date them? Thanks. Seller's description: "Vintage Snap On box. Olde but a good one. Had it for many years. It's been a good box it was...
