115 pound Prentiss vise, was free from a buddy, now I know why, but not a big deal. Vise nut is cracked, on the fence between using Ni-Rod(easy pre heat) or brazing it. Anyone got any input on the + or - of either?

This fell into my lap. A friend of mine who also goes to a ton of garage and estate sales stopped by and asked me if I wanted it. He did not want to ship it. I offered him some money, but he said he was clearing stuff out and I could have it. This is going to be my new bench vise. Prentiss 182...

I have one of these too, not as fast as some of the newer fancy sharpeners, but it works great.

I have one of these that is missing the magnetic gauge(noticed it is needed for setup in the instructions) Does anyone have one of these that can send a pic and give me the dimensions of this part/piece? Figure it can't be that hard to make.

It's a leather cup seal for the pump. Looks like one of those seals they use in the pump on a Coleman lantern, but the bore diameter is 7/16. Front pump design. I can cut a piston and bore style mold on the lathe to form a leather cup seal if I have to. The tutorials I have watched soak the...

Nice! I've bought around 5 lathes in the last two years. I keep finding a better more complete unit, and selling the previous ones. They are heavy and a pain to move, but they sure are handy when you need one.

Model 107, they don't make any parts for it.

I took it apart to see what was wrong with it. It has a leather cup seal that is 7/16" I can't find a replacement, Coleman lantern ones are too big, but I did find a tutorial on YouTube on how to make one. I'll put it on my shelf of things I think I might actually get around to fixing someday.

There was still a piece of it hanging on when I got it, and yes, it was Sears. I think this model is discontinued, as when I looked it up it has changed significantly.

For me it's mostly a hobby, but I've made some scores that netted me a nice pile of cash here and there. I repair and restore things for a living, so junking just fits right in there. When work is heavy, I don't do it at all, but when it slows down and I have free weekends, I'm out at 5AM. You...

First weekend out of the year. I slacked off pretty hard in the latter part of 2017, but my first weekend finds have got me all charged up. Hobart Handler 140, $100 No gas regulator, just the welder with a roll of flux core in it. I have a regulator that will work on it, so no biggie there...

FREE! My favorite price. Nice find.

I scored this torch setup this morning at someone doing their own estate sale for $10. I had to ask twice just to make sure I heard right. Works fine. Hoses are a little dry though. Old NCG gauges and welding & cutting torch, 4 tips for each. I don't need one, but a friend asked me a few weeks...

Nice score, while some of those eBay prices are on crack, I bet you could get an easy 350 to 400.

That would sell on eBay for a hell of a lot more than scrap value. I could re-purpose that into a few tools easy. There are also junk artists who look for stuff like that. At current scrap prices, it can't be more than a few dollars.

Jealous of that steel table. Those are real nice to have, and $75 is a nice price.

Quality chainsaws are one of my weaknesses. I can't not buy them at a good price. That's about $58 US, so I would have picked it up if it was local for that price without batting an eye.

Went to around 18 yard and estate sales today. Got these throughout the day. SK 3/8" deep SAE set, $5 Craftsman flying V 3/8" ratchet, $4 Brown & Sharpe magnetic base, $6 Small Kabar knife, $1 Funky Turny adjustable wrench, Starrett 818 auto punch, Craftsman V 1/4" Dr. T bar, $5 for the 3. New...

Nothing post worthy until today. Estate sale being run by family. Craftsman 101 lathe(I think it's an Atlas 618) with a bunch of extras thrown it. I wanted a little larger lathe, not sure if this is the right one for me or not, was hemming and hawing over it for a few minutes. Asked how much...

That Coleman water bag is way cool. Nice find.
