Friends, I have this vintage MAC drawer box, but it didn't come with a key. I tried unlocking it using a staple, didn't work. I tried using a flathead screwdriver, and that helps, but the drawers keep getting relocked. I want to just disable the locking mechanism so I can freely open all...

I am going to Europe in a week to see the fam, and my father has hinted that he would like a low angle plane as a gift. He is a hobbyist building wooden boats. Now, truthfully, he would be happy with a $15 Home Depot plane, but since I have the bug, I want to get him something that I would...

I searched, and it doesn't appear that this has even been posted on here. I came across a vintage pair of Ford branded pliers made by McKaig Hatch. One side has a Ford script logo, the other a MH circle logo. One side is a screwdriver, and someone shaped the tip of the other into a punch...
