    1947 Delta UniSaw Refurb.

    I have posted some of these photos in my garage thread, but I thought I would separate them out into a thread of it's own. This 1947 UniSaw was given to me by a good friend when he moved. The saw needed work on the motor because it would not spin up to speed. However, you have to be an idiot...

    A true New Englander's workshop.

    There are still a few of us cheap yankee's here in New England... I am one of them. :thumbup: The thought of blowing huge piles of cash on stuff blows my mind when you can find much better stuff if you look. That's not to say that good cash can not be spent on good stuff, but in moderation...

    Bravo Snap-On!

    so today I called the phone number on Snap-On's web site to inquire abut replacement drawer slides and top box lid pistons. I bought the box new 20 years ago and a few slides have broken and the main lower drawer has none at all. (Nasty incident with a snow plow and a sloped shop floor) :mad...

    What's out there... Small top boxes

    Well guys, I need to pick up a first tool box for my oldest son. I do not want to spend a small fortune on one as it will be up-graded at some point. He is taking an automotive course at the local Voc school and we just found out that he needs his own basic hand tool set. Now I turned...

    Game time... Date that grinder!

    No, like seriously.. I just picked up this old school Black & Decker 3/4hp bench grinder for $20. I am going to clean it up and give it a fresh coat of Hammerite to match my other shop tools. I have a serial # on it of 4270430. I am curious of the age of this thing. Take a close look at the old...
