That is awesome. This thread just happened to pop up on my Tapatalk app. So glad it did. Sent from my SM-N975U using Tapatalk

My table saw must be roughly the same year/model. I've never looked at it closely enough to tell which model it is, or what motor it has. It was my grandfathers, and it has been a very faithful unit. I love the vintage craftsman tools from that era. If i ever have the chance to buy some more...

I know what you mean. I'm just a few hours south of Steubenville on the Ohio River. I watch craigslist and fb for things in that area as well. I have a few friends that live out of state, but none that would be interested in tool shopping for me :( Nick Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I537 using...

I ended up snatching it for $10.00, plus i picked up a Reed pipe vise for $8.00. I may mount it on my utility trailer too. I think it would be a handy thing to have. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I537 using Tapatalk

I may go ahead and pick it up. I know it is pretty ugly, but it looks like a good fit for the barn, or on the utility trailer. Oddly, i'm in SE Ohio, and I rarely see anything pop up for sale. I'd love a bullet to put in my shop one day.. and to be honest, i'd love to find some vintage tool...

I just ran to his house to look at it, however i don't see any manufacturer identification marks Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I537 using Tapatalk

I don't think it is a Wilton, the back of it looks longer. I don't know the age, but know the rig they are on is lead than 5 years old. I imagine most of the tools in the shop were new at that time. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I537 using Tapatalk

Do you know the brand? This came from an oil rig (large company). I have only seen him bring high quality stuff home. I know he has a pair of titan chain tongs and a reed pipe vise that are almost new they threw out. I have a nice collection of pipe wrenches because they toss them when they...

I have a chance to pick this vise up for around $20.00. The owner is a friend and claims it is a Wilton Vise, 748a. However, I have not seen it in person and am not sure. It was damaged and they replaced it where he works, so it was being thrown away. He hauls scrap off and said he'd take scrap...

I really appreciate everyone's response. I don't think it was used much, and i just realized their is a damper on the chimney (i believe it was closed... so that's probably why i couldn't get a fire going last time). Would it be okay to burn some of those compressed sawdust blocks that rural...

I thought i would try firing it up tomorrow after i clean up around it. I doubt it will be able to heat the rear section of the garage where it is located, but i suppose it might take the edge off of the chill. I just want to warm it up a little so i can continue to clean and organize. If i can...

Thanks, i will check it out

Correction* The fan does run if plugged in directly, however there is a cord with an outlet wired into it from what looks like a thermostat. It doesn't seem to show power. Suppose it only turns that outlet (guessing fan plugs into it)on at a certain temperature? anything i should look for with...

Forgot to add more pictures.

I bought my grandparents property a few years back, and am slowly organizing the garage. It has a monarch add a furnace wood burner in it, butiknow nothing about them. Does anyone have any experience with them? I don't remember my grandfather ever using it, but it does show signs of use. I also...

I've thought about these as well. However i snagged one of the led fixtures from a gas station canopy and two large led corn lights for free when i helped a friend with some work. It was my payment for helping with everything. I have to say, they are super bright. No idea on the specs, but I'd...

I will see what i can find. I've never thought to look them up. I know a few have aluminum and wooden handles. I've used all of them too.

Appreciate it. I'd love to locate a matching lower cabinet, perhaps someone on here has one they'd like to sell :) I actuallt have a bunch of old disston saws too

I can't say that I have ever seen one of these. However I am going to follow this thread as this seems very interesting. Nick

I was curious. Who made Disston tool boxes, or if they made their own? What vintage wood their boxes be? As I have no idea how old mine is. I inherited my grandfathers Disston tool box, and i would love to find a matching lower cabinet for it. The pictures below are the only two i could find of...
