check out what i picked up today!!

[trdtaco]

so i am pretty big into cashing in scrap metal on my time off from my regular job for extra cash.. so i show up today to get some scrap out of a basement and this stuff is what i find.. i could not believe it!!!!.. the saw looks OLD and is a craftsman, the 2 chainsaws are craftsman, i can not find any markings or anything on the drill press but looks old and is super heavy... my favorite piece is the old orange cabinet..

 

[odelay01]

That cabinet is badass!

I LOVE the drill press. Hope you'll do a restoration on it with old time colors and the markings in gold or some contrasting color. It kinda looks dangerous to use....but I'd use it anyway - WITH extra care. Excellent haul!

love the pedastal on the DP, great score on the scroll saw and cabinet too, niiiiice!!

 

[ihredo4]

Nice haul as others have said.

 

[therealwormey]

congratulations

 

[gatewaysysop]

That cabinet rocks!

Awesome score.

 

[trdtaco]

Thanks guys!!

But in reality I do not have the time or money to restore that bad boy! Im going to see if my dad wants it, if not it will be hitting the classifieds.. the thing that I was most interested in was the cabinet...I want to hang it in the kitchen lol

You do know you really **** don't you......there are a multitude of DP's that are that style. A good place to start is provided in the link below for identification an possibly parts.

LOL, you're going to hang that cabinet in the kitchen? must be single huh ?

The grey chain saw is like one I have. It is Craftsman brand, but is a Poulan manufacture..

The drill press is too cool. Nice score on all that stuff.

That cabinet might be from the 60's . When my dad had his Sinclair gas
service station I remember all the points and condensers were in something like that. Awesome ! Was it all free too ?

Am in the process of restoring one of these Craftsman scroll saws right now!

I have that same little Sears battery charger. I have had it for about 30 years and still use it all the time!
6 Volt for the old Ford 8N tractor and 12 for the cars trucks and even the M35A1 24 volt system.

[trdtaco]

Haha the dog always sneaks in the pictures!

Ive got a drill press almost exactly like that . my wifes cousin picked it upat a barn sale in nw ohio10yrs or so ago.He decided to scrap it so I grabbed it.

 

[lilredex]

Have the same cabinet, mine was on the grass at an apartment building where I did some work. Mine came with a lock, but no key, so I installed a thumb latch to keep the door shut.

awesome man!!! ya i do not have anything to keep the door shut.. ill have to find something.. it such a cool cabinet tho.. is there a shelf in yours?? it looked like mine used to have a shelf but is gone now

 

[lilredex]

Yes, a single shelf. The latch hooks on to the back side, that is folded under. The front of that shelf is even with the insets, for the doors.

Have a look at that link provided to see a variety of latches that will work to hold the door shut.

That is a cool drill press but you would probably get more money out of it scrapping it as opposed to selling it. That cabinet is bad ***.

 

[trdtaco]

ya i hear that.. its gotta weigh 250lbs.. i could never scrap it tho
