Not exactly a G-sale find but a CL find. Here in this Oregon machinery wasteland these old machinist DP's almost never show up. I've always wanted to restore one. She cost $250.

The good news:
- It looks like the old girl has had a very easy life
- only .001 runout at the spindle
- Bearings seem smooth as silk
- Table has a couple dimples of shame but no arch of shame
- No cracks, weld, rust or signs of abuse
- It has the compact tilting table
- The nameplate is covered up with masking tape from a previous paint job and looks perfect under the tape.

The bad news:
- The rack and table elevation gears are missing as is the rest of the foot feed. I just ordered the table elevation parts on Ebay but don't care about the foot feed. (parts are very expensive but I wanted to get them while I could!!)
- It's 3 phase. However I have the perfect 1HP 1 phase motor as a substitute.

I've got the swivel version of that Yost vise (Model 203 1/2) that I found earlier this summer at a garage sale for $25. There are pics of it on the "Vises of Garage Journal". How much did you have to pay for yours?

here was my recent barn sale haul. 30.00 total. 10 for jack and 20. for the garage or mechanics desk{ not the green one}. I have the legs for the desk and in process od stripping and repainting. I have the drawer with lock ,has rust and multiple paint colors. Jack works , but needs repair to handle. But worth it for the parts

SilverDeck:

With bid/tax/buyers premium, I'm into it for just under $42.

BTW, one of my WW vises (Richards Wilcox) has a quick release, but it's done using a continuous lead screw (i.e. no gaps in the screw). I'm now wondering if something like that might work on the Toles WW vise.

Mike. That box looks identical to a box I bought full of carpenter's tools. Mine was built (by carpenter I assume) from repurposed wood. Inside you can see the original markings.

I like the roll of reamers. They are not seen much outside a machine shop these days.

3. blue-point adjustable wrench
4. snap-on breaker bar
5. snap-on pliers

thecody59 · Jul 21, 2016

Btw it hurt real bad to let go of that sk flex head because i know i probably won't see another one. He is a huge sk fan tho so i let him have it. He is one of the lucky ones that got me to get rid of one of my ratchets.

That style of wooden toolboxes seems to pop up a lot.

Wonder if it was a plan or school project kids needed to do.

The one I got yesterday, is smaller is size than other one's I've seen.

You ever feel good taking things back home, then later realize you got to clean them all up?

Once I get through them all, I'll feel better, but am finding a lot of L. S. Starrett, Billings and Eastern Machine Screw Corp of New Haven Conn.

One thing, I don't find is money!!!

Usually I do track the mfg of tools, but with so much items, I thought I'd just work and try and get my truck bed cleared.

However, if you see do see something you would like to know who the mfg is, let me know the posting, pic and location of tool and I'll see if I can't re-pull them out and let you know.

That carpenter's box has the same basic lines and I think identical hardware to the one my great-grandfather made in north-central PA. My mother used jt as a coffee table while I was growing up, and now my sister has it.
Ggf to was a carpenter and his brother was a painter. Both tradesmen. I do think plans for those things were widely circulated. If you Google "carpenter's tool chest" and maybe "plans" dozens and dozens of plans come up, some of them amazingly complex. Google books has multiple vintage trade publications and of course books on the subject. But I also think the shape and dimensions are somewhat dictated by the shape and dimensions of the basic tools carpenters carried to job sites. Most handsaws had 26" blades, so that plus the handle dictates the minimum inside long dimension. A framing square is often 18x24", but a slot in the lid can allow it to sit upright and protrude, so the vertical height is more dependent on the number of tools and compartments inside.

Makattak81 · Jul 21, 2016

Picked up a few things at a sale in Lonsdale on my way to Owatonna. Been looking for an old creeper, and I got my first stubby ratchet.

jreb10 · Jul 21, 2016

I must have just missed you at Lonsdale! I hit this sale and another one.

Here is sale #1:

Pic 1: Clockwise order
Portable stool
Craftsman -V- flare nut wrench set
Torx socket set, says made in USA, no maker name, a couple may be missing
Piston ring expander
Husky 1/4 ratchet and a mixed set of 1/4 sockets

Pic 2:

Mixed set of DBE, S-K, Vlchek, Hinsdale, and one Snap-On that is pretty large.

Got all of Pic 1 and 2 for $32.

I also got this Famco #3 arbor press for $20. Handle is bent but that is an easy fix. Don't know if it came with an arbor plate or not:

At sale #2 I picked up the following for $7:

Ryobi 18 V tools - sander, circular saw, reciprocating saw, and radio. I tested them with my Ryobi 1+ batteries and they all work.
A Husky dead blow hammer
A small wood billy club.

LesserSon:

One of the things that I saw was a Mfg made toolbox with the slot on top for framing square.

At time, wasn't sure what it was used for so asked and was told her father empted his pockets of change each day and put his coins in the locked tool box.
