My son just bought a Walker Turner 17 drill press for his shop. It looks to be all original and in great shape but has a later model Craftsman motor adapted to it for. Trying to find info about it but haven’t found the correct search words yet. It also has a Rockwell tag with the model number...

I went to slid my saw over a bit and the handle just came off in my hand. I’m coming up NLA in all my searches for a replacement. Currently using zip ties in order to use it. The threaded bosses for all the attaching screws just broke apart. Anyone have any ideas ? Epoxy or something else?

Some time back, Ryan posted about a deal from Wilton that if you sent a vise photo to them you would be entered into some kind of contest. I forgot all about sending a pic of my Shop King until I opened a package delivered this morning. Inside was a letter commenting about my vise and that I...

Picked up this from the local bargain $1 screwdriver bin this afternoon. It will go well with my others. #R5324 6 1/2" long X 1/8" blade.

This has been rolling around in my tool box for a couple of years waiting for that Ah Ha moment to hit me about what it is. My mind keeps coming up blank. I don't even remember any more where it even came from but probably in a box of garage sale stuff I picked up. Anyway here are some pics...

My son called me last night concerned about his 97 Expedition w/ 5.4 engine & 180K miles. He had all the fluids changed a couple of days ago and yesterday one of the lifters started clattering after it warmed up good, (he also lives in Las Vegas). He did some checking and found out they used...

Finally dug this out from storage to see about restoring it. I remember my Dad using it when I was real little so it has to be 55+ years old. Anyway does anyone have any idea who made it and approximately when? Only two marks on it and they are on the base, a cast in number "2" on one side...

Been gone for the past week and I searched back 10 pages and didn't see anything on this so will add the link. Not scientific but somewhat entertaining...

As the title says, I'd like to hear the values of covering vs not covering from anyone on here. I don't cover mine because I think it removes trapped moisture from the attic but many people where I live cover them during the winter. What are your views and reasons why? Charles

I was cleaning up my vise today and noticed something I had never seen before. The base of the main vise that attaches to the swivel mount has a pronounced rise along the mold parting line. The flash was ground at the factory but with a straight edge across the base there is a 3/16" gap on the...

Picked these two up this morning for $4 Right out of the tool box at the thrift After a little cleaning Charles

I got this passed down from my FIL several years back and have not thought about it much since but just use it when it is handy. The set ranges from 7/16" to 1-1/16" and everything is in the picture. Did a search and found very little besides a single tool or ratchet here and there. The...

I just picked up another Proto 5449 1/2" drive ratchet and while cleaning and relubing it I noticed that it is marked "5449 Proto USA Professional" while my other one is marked "5449 Proto Med. USA". I guess I didn't realize there were different grades of the same part number. The "Med." one...

Just a question about the pictures in posts. Some posts I see pictures and others all I get is an empty box titled "Attached Thumbnails" Do I have something set wrong somewhere? Thanks Charles
