I know I have seen the head of this speeder before, but I cannot place it:

I am going through a major remodel of my tiny shop, and figured I would start a thread on it. I did make one at one time, over in the vintage tools thread as I am a vintage tool collector, but I haven't updated it in several years, and there has been a lot of changes since then. I could tell...

Morning all. I need to wire a Dayton instant reverse motor to the drum switch on the lathe I am restoring, and the wiring diagram, along with the previous owners wiring, is throwing me off. I know the basics of how a drum swich is wired, and I know in theory what needs to change for the instant...

I am looking to get rid of this stuff that I have picked up at various sales The cutter set is as new, the sanding are good, with two of them starting to unglue. The drum itself as some corrosion, easily removable. If you need more pictures, let me know $45 shipped

I came into this, and I think you will see why I jumped at the opportunity to purchase it: And you open it up to find Tools! And it looks like a kit to service... what, and for who? We have a North Bros. Yankee #35, notice how the handle is pared down to fit the kit, quite expertly, I might...

I am looking for a long, six inches or so and both 1/4 and 3/8 drive, hex drive socket driver for use in my Milwaukee M12 impact. I love this thing, use it all the time, but I would rather not use a standard length socket driver, one or two inches, on it with an extension if I don't have too. I...

I picked up an older Snap-on 3/4" socket set the other day, and this was included in it. 18 inches long approximately, it has the 45* offset anvil like Snap-on has, along with a similar detent pin with a detent ball on the other side. Most interesting, it has a oversize knob at the end...

Selling off my surplus tools and various things I have picked up over the years. Everything is used, so there is tool box rash, dirt, etc., and some have previous owners marks. I try to note the more extreme cases, but might have missed something. In any case, everything is very usable. Please...

It came up in discussion that, while I have a few of these, not everyone does. I find them to be quite handy, as a lot of what I work on mechanically is more than adequetly served by what is essentially a nut driver. Now, I love nut drivers and tend to use them much more than any 1/4" socket...

The other night I was lazily perusing Craigslist, checking to see if there was anything of any interest. And while searching, I came across an ad for a toolbox and tools. And at first glance, I wasn't too interested, but I did notice what looked like an old ignition wrench set. So, I started...

It is now time to select our Picker of the Year for 2021. Now, I know this seems difficult, but really, take the time to go back over the thread, revel in all the found treasure, missed dreams, headless Barbies, non-working junk, and other miscellaneous ***** that these fine gentlemen have drug...

IGNORE ME!!!

One of my favorite things in tool collecting is finding vintage wrench pouches/rolls/whatever you call them. I have seen both terms, as well as Vinyl, leather, or cloth being used to describe them. In any case, here is what I have, and please, bring out and show what you have! Snap-on As yet...

A couple of years ago, I picked up this rather ancient wrench pouch: As you can see, the lettering is yellow, the last letter of the second word is S, it looks like it's from the '30s, and that is all I got. I have been pulling my hair out over this for the last two years. Normally I...

One of the things I always look for when out and about, are older books on technical subjects; woodworking, HVAC, Welding, etc. And I have found quite a few to add to my book collection. And it is a nice way to tie together two of my passions, working with my hands and working with my mind...

Beneath this quiet exterior... Down these basement stairs... There lies the hole of the elusive Beemer, a room he can truly call his own. So, all kidding aside, this is a view of my basement shop, an 11' by 13' cubby in the basement of my home, a house built in either 1908 or 1913...
