I found this nice little brass screwdriver at a second shop, while I was cleaning it up I realized there was a second driver hidden inside the handle. As I was setting it up to take the first 2 pics I found a 3rd inside the second drivers handle, too cool.

If anyone can identify this tool it would be you guys. I see it every year at a swapmeet I go to, no one has figured it out yet.

Under a magnifying glass I can make out RE-132 CAN88 stamped in, weighs 2-3lbs, found digging in the bark yard.

Restoring a Colchester Bantam at the moment and name, speeds and threading plates look a little worn out. I've seen some beautifully restored plates here on this forum and just wondering how this is done? I have a feeling these brass plates take some very specialize techniques but I would like...

I picked up this power hacksaw the other day but have not been able to find out much info on it. I bought it to cut all the metal for a 2"x72" belt grinding machine I'm building but now that is done I have time to tear it down a do a full rebuild. Made in Taiwan in 1983 but obviously a much...

Picked it up in a garage sale.

Here is a whatsit you don't see everyday, I just found out what it is myself but thought you guys might enjoy this.

So how is this for barn fresh? Sitting in an out shed for the past 20yrs, I've already cleaned off most of the Peacock poop. The lathe is a Logan 10.5"x24" model 200 and the Buffalo drill press is I believe one of their production or manufacturers models. The entire head is on a rack and it...

In the past I have painted cast in raised letters by hand with so so results, wondering if anyone has come up with a clever way to do this job? Thanks

Canadian Buffalo No 18 drill press It is time to tear down the DP head, I'm pretty sure there is a razor sharp spring in the cup on the end of the pinion shaft waiting to fly all over the shop so I thought I would ask for advise on the best practice to disassemble. I loosened the Allen screw on...

I have wanted one of the old Canadian Buffalo 18" drill presses for many yrs now and I finally just bought one today. This thing is a monster, gotta be 400lbs at least, maybe more. I think this unit must have spent a couple of decades in a High School metal shop, check out the "Arc of Shame"...

I p/u these pliers at the Georgian Bay Steam Show on the weekend and after cleaning the rust off of them thought I would post a few pics. I have never seen this design before, kind of unique I think.
