    Quick welder cart build

    To go along with my welding table build I wanted a better welder cart for my Miller mig. I didn't want to spend a lot of time building it so when my scrap guy had this little cart for $10 I picked it up. Cut off most of the top shelf so I could set this 1960's Craftsman bottom chest on there...

    Welding and fab table build

    Here is the start of my small welding and fab table build. Top is 5/8" thick, 28" x 66". I got the top from an estate sale years ago for $10, it was leaning against a tree which had grown over it and I had to use an axe to cut it out. The framework I will be using is 4" x 6" angle I got for for...

    Yost no longer makes vises in the USA

    Yost apparently no longer makes vises in the USA, the bench and combo vises that were made in the USA are now made in China. Wilton is also on the way out of making vises in the USA, they are going to be made in Taiwan too. That leaves Morgan as the las USA made bench vise I am aware of. I...

    Vintage Sears and others Christmas catalogs

    Found this while looking for the earliest catalog appearance of Craftsman 519x series vises. Although these Christmas catalogs don't have many tools in them they do have a few and paging through them is fun any case! And no, the 519x Craftsman vises are not in the 1946 or 1947 Sears catalogs...

    So added a few more items to my shelf unit from my garage sale finds yesterday. Came back an hour later and realized the shelf had taken a nasty lean towards the garage door. I have been working on cleaning off shelves this morning and finding new homes for stuff but I haven't uncovered the...

    NOS Husky New Britain socket and combo wrench set

    Picked up this New Old Stock Husky New Britain set at an estate sale Friday. It was still sealed in the cellophane with a $37.99 price sticker on it. Part of me didn't want to remove the cellophane LOL.

    1934 Craftsman combination disc belt sander

    I picked this up last Friday on the Main to Main giant garage sale in Louisiana. The cool part of the story is I found this last year. Seller wanted $20 AND it was missing the table for the disc. I passed on it. So I stop by his place again this year and the sander has the table now! Talked to...

    I started having my garage sale yesterday and was showing a nice 6" vintage Black and Decker bench grinder with glass eye shields to a guy who was interested in it. Plugged it in and turned it on and it started smoking! Well of course I didn't sell it LOL. Pulled the base paalte off and there...
