Swapped out my old bench and moved this one in. Now I'm happy.

My 1950's Homecraft. Has never let me down. Inherited from my father who bought it new. It is the only drill press that I have ever owned and have been using it since I was 7 years old.

Yea, it deserves to be used, not dined on.

I picked this old workbench last weekend, complete with vices and 100 years worth of grease& grime. After spending a bit of time on it, I think it turned out pretty good. It's now ready to be put to use. The wagon tongue vise will come in quite handy.

Yes, it is a nice old bench and had seen a lot in its 100 or so years. I'm stripping the top of its grease, grime, oil and god knows what else. Once I get down to the lumber I'll seal it and call it done.

Sorry again. Being old, needing new glasses, and trying to do this on a iPhone, the combination is maddening.

Sorry again, I'm getting closer, let's see if I can orient them correctly.

Sorry, I did not know I could attach pictures directly. I will try that.

I picked up this old bench for free today, it came with 2 vises. Vise on left is Ohio Tool Co. But the vise on the right is a mystery to me. Anyone help me out with an ID? https://i.imgur.com/9s4WGih.jpg https://i.imgur.com/54T4J8k.jpg https://i.imgur.com/nnakMwj.jpg

I went through my oddball wrench drawer and though I did not have what you need, I found wrenches by Bonney, Barcalo, fairmont Cleveland, Armstrong, smith's, herbrand, pierce arrow, ford & other stuff that I have yet to identify. Had not been in that bucket for 20 years. That was fun.

Neat cabinet also.

Here's the label of that helps date it.

I've had this in the garage for years. Bought it for 5 bucks at an estate sale. Best five bucks I ever spent. Anyone have any info or model number for it? It's old as the hills and is stamped A-1.

After looking at some instruction manuals on old atlas press 8 inch table saws, I'm pretty sure I need to align the table as I'm pretty sure there is no adjusting the trunnions. There is zero play there. Old manual says to adjust the table first. I'm going to give that a shot next.
