I'm still over that Wiss collection Outlaw, you got me beat by a few. I'm only at 4 confirmed Wiss, had another pair or two but can't put my fingers on them atm and I have a pair or two that look like Wiss but no clear markings so can't count them. The 1225s are my go-to scissors and the 30s are my carpet/cardboard template scissors.

"Lemon Scent" Pine-Sol....



What's next; Lemon scent Xmas trees?

If you don't know....now you know, you know!!


Lemon scent is better smelling than the standard imo, seriously if you haven't tried it yet, give it a shot.

This weekends find was a Kennedy 7 drawer machinist box model 520 I only paid $19.50. It came with 5 or 6 machinist books, a slide ruler and some drill bits.

The sale in Stoneham that BlueBomber and I pick over a few weeks ago was open again today (until sunday). This time they've opened the house up. Unfortunately, there weren't any tools hiding in the house. The garage was just the leftover tools from the previous sales.
The SnapOn toolbox is still there for $3500, as is the drill press and horizontal band saw (still $150).

After digging through things again (for the fourth time) all I could come up with were 2 items. I think this gold mine is finally tapped out for good.

a dollar each -
SnapOn SSDP31 #1 phillips screwdriver (hidden at the bottom of a pile of look-alike HF/Pittsburg screwdrivers)
New Britain #M105 brake tool

traded my old greenberg hydrant for this vise parker 384 1/2 4.5" wide jaws
what is the pin in the rear jaw for? Swivel jaw? it is stuck in there pretty good

 

[Smokeshow69]

^^^Yes that is for a swivel pin for the static jaw to swivel. Head on over to the vise repair thread and you can see how to remove it. Post some pics in the vise thread as well when you have time.

Thank you, just went out and drove the pins out from the sides with a long pumch. wedged the big main swivel pin and gave it a couple light taps with the hammer and it popped free. It looks like someone added another pin to the side so that the static jaw would not spin even if the main pin on top was removed. that was my problem.

 

[Outlawmws]

That side pin does not lock the jaw. ii is a retainer pin so the jaw doesn't come out when in swivel mode.

 

[Outlawmws]

ps: Nice find! I have the 6" version of that vise.

 

[bagged89s10]

I spent $55

Wilton 930. Just missing a swivel bolt and nut or handle $20


Craftsman grinder stand.$35

Nine on the unmarked; are they inlaid blades? That's a sure tell tail

Wasnt to bad of a find! I have 2 pins that insert from the side.
In addition to the factory side pin that keeps the jaw from falling out someone added a secondary pin that goes through the swivel and totally disables the swivel feature even when the top pin is removed. not sure why they did it

 

[martin666]

Helped a friend clean out relatives garage today, was told I could keep anything that caught my eye. Ended up with a 5 gallon bucket of decent tools but tucked away in a corner I found this gem...boy I'm gonna do some welding now! Hahahahaha

 

[Squashfest81]

Been away from the game for a while. $15 on Craigs today. Cute Dunlap and this guy? Any idea on maker? 6in and heavy. Has a tag on the top that is stamped 2480?

 

[jakemac]

It must have been someone who wanted a really expensive planter.

 

[timdp]

Picked up a cement mixer for $25 for a couple of retaining wall projects. Now just have to figure out how to get it down the side of the house. (to the left of the mixer in the pic). Going to have to take the axle/wheels and hitch off, turn it sideways and mount it on a couple of moving dollies and make a plank road to roll it down.

[thundermug]

1940s Dunlap / Sears 7"-8" table saw with original Craftsman motor. Very good condition. Need give some of it an E bath. I'm keeping it in mostly original condition.
Picked it up for free. Needs the blade guard, but is otherwise intact. The base is unstable and will be replaced.

[nine4gmc]

Awesome long C motor on it!

 

[nine4gmc]

Steven, try posting it in the Vintage Tool Box thread and I bet someone will be able to help you. I'm pretty sure those are not SO pulls on those drawers.

 

[bagged89s10]

I picked this snowblower up for free on my way to work. It was on the side of the road at a house that is for sale right down the street from me. I grabbed it and dropped it off at home. Hopefully the motor isn't blown and I can get it to start. It's like free money. The stuff people throw away amazes me.

There's a plastic wear strip across the bottom that needs occasional replacement, and the flippers and vanes sometimes need renewal. I had one of these for many years, couldn't kill it. In the spring, turn it over and dump the fuel and run it until it quits.

Yea I had a similar Ariens I had that I sold the day of a snowstorm last winter. Same plans with this one if I can.

[bagged89s10]

Today's finds

Parker 383-1/2 which the seller has been holding for me for over a week and a craftsman bit brace for $150




Free snowblower which I threw some fresh gas in and it fired up. Side of the road find.
https://vimeo.com/134991754

5 square head 5/8" bolts and nuts. I wish they had more because they are perfect for vises like a Parker 974. Also got these 2 little square head wrenches. The bigger one fits my lathe tool holder which I've been looking for. Paid $3.75 at a local store somewhat similar to habitat restore.

 

[Impala64]

Today's pick up Wright 3/4 ratchet and extension, P&C 3/4 breaker bar, two Proto 3061 wrenches, some plomb and proto Los Angeles stuff and some snap on misc $40

 

[mike_paxton]

Went to yard sales on Thurs and Friday, with nothing on Friday to show for it.

On Thurs (7/30), did pick up a few things and all at same yard sale.

First item was a Ivalite Dash Control Deluxe Spotlight. These were made mostly for boats and from 1936 and being made today. If you go to this website, http://www.ivalite.com/models/

you will see a nice picture of one on a vintage boat and if you slide down a bit, you can also see a short 34 second video on how they can be moved with an attached dash cable. Here is 3 pics of mine as it is right now.

Pics 4, 5 and 6 are of a Stanley #82 cabinet scrapper. For some reason, I had hard time finding one over many years of looking.

Pic 7 is a pair of Jacob #11N Chucks with 1 Jacob key (small one) and a big key that picked up for when I may need it for something.

Mike

 

[mike_paxton]

Continued on from previous post.

Pic 1 is an unmarked pipe vise.

Pic 2 is a Howe & Foundry Company of Littleton, PA Woodworking Vise #197

Pic 3 is a Mark #10 large clamp from Chicago and 3 very small Cincinnati Tool Company Clamps

Pic 4 is a box of various sharpening stones

Pic 5 and 6 is a double handled auger/boring tool that has no mfg marking found on it.

Nice batch. I really like that 3/4 stuff

 

[nine4gmc]

You guys are rocking it, I ventured out to get supplies and was going to pass by the one stop that looked interesting but I was 15 minutes late so I grabbed a beer instead... Been hammering that hot rod since noon yesterday and put 20 hrs in the day before so I needed a brewski to take the edge off...

May stop by the sale tomorrow but , got a lot on my plate right now I need to clear out. Good luck to all, hope you knock it out the park!!

 

[Blue Frog]

Mostly of interest to those who do woodworking, but maybe some will find this collection from one estate sale interesting.

First, from a person who had four saw vises and two saw sets, there were 8 nice handsaws, from which I chose the best 5 - New 16, D 115, D 8 Thumbhole rip, and 2 D23's (pre 1928). All sharp, all straight, no broken horns, only one medallion in poor shape, all just need a minor cleaning.





Vintage books on the use of the steel square and carpentry, and an aluminum framing square by Stanley.





Three saw vises - D3 by Disston, one by E. C. Stearns, and one by Atkins; and two saw sets - yes it's a 42X.





Stanley #5C, Type 11, Stanley 78 w/fence, 3 13-oz claw hammers and two hatchets - one is Plumb.





Goodell-Pratt combo square, eggbeaters, brass plumb bobs, push drill (all bits present), spiral screwdriver, ratcheting screwdriver, and other smalls.





Nice selection of files - check out the handles - walnut with what appears to be copper ferrules. They'll clean up nicely. The metal one is nice also.





Selection of chisels by Buck Bros, Ohio Tool, Berg, and others.





Screw driver bits for spiral screwdriver and bit brace.





Finally, an item that I didn't recognize, but it had a solid bass wheel, so I got it anyway. It is a wheelwrights traveler.






Blue

Blue Frog:

You did good on your buys and I especially like the traveler, as it is used to make sure the fellies that make up the wheel are staying relatively consistent with each wheel you make.
