This was a new sight for me: https://sfbay.craigslist.org/nby/tls/6140737833.html

Can anyone ID the ratchet or crescent wrench in this photo?

I see the occasional vintage BIRO or other branded butcher bandsaw for sale locally and was just wondering if there is anything inherently different about these saws that prevent them from being used for wood or metal (depending on speeds).

Ran across this tonight. Amazing style! https://sfbay.craigslist.org/pen/tls/6002312580.html

I have a craftsman "100" and was recently gifted a 113.27700. any advantages one over the other?

Just picked up this guy:

Someone on another forum is asking and I thought I would see if you all had any ideas. I really dig the design.

Anyone know if this is a stock step down or was this setup an aftermarket product? https://sfbay.craigslist.org/scz/tls/5721728252.html

Never seen this setup. Is that drill press mount factory? https://sfbay.craigslist.org/eby/tls/5692256619.html

Price is worth it for just that awesome box it comes in: https://sfbay.craigslist.org/sby/tls/5676395796.html

I dont know what else to call it. I have been in a few old timers garages over the years that have cut the cord (to about 1ft) and rewired the plug on almost all power tools new and old. This leads them to just have to pull down the retractable extension cord and plug in whatever they are using...

Title says it all. Any good options for mobility & lockdown on these old stands?

I have this motor on my vintage "100" table saw that was working fine but had never seen a cleaning so I took it apart to blow it out and give the outside a quick scrub and paint. This is my first time pulling apart an electric motor. I needed a gear puller to get the bells off on each side. I...

It's been a bit of a hobby of mine to scan and preserve old woodworking magazines, pamphlets and plans. I will post here if there is any interest. First batch is: Workbench Magazines from the 50s-60s. Some great advertisements, articles and plans...

Hit up my local flea market for the first time today (not sure what took me so long). LOTS of tools but tons of junk. Most sellers had the craftsman separated which was nice. tons of 5 gallon buckets of a mixture of sockets, wrenches and ratchets new and old. I did a lot of digging. There was...

Found this booklet online in pieces and thought I would throw it together into a searchable PDF for you all. https://archive.org/details/JointerShaperThicknessPlaner

I just got back from picking up this vintage jointer for $75. It is in wonderful condition as-is but I will be doing a tear down to familiarize myself with it (my first jointer). LOVE that logo.

I think I have read the 3M EXL is a good all purpose knock the rust off and leave a consistent finish on the part wheel. Can anyone make a recommendation for someone new to finishing wheels? I am a 0000 steel wool and lubricant guy but would love to speed things along with a gentle wheel that...
