Craftsman Heritage Roller

[thehorse13]

If anyone is near Richmond, VA and has been searching for one of these, the price is not bad. 65 bucks.

Not affiliated with the seller, just trying to help out other GJ folks looking for a heritage roller.

I called the guy after I saw your post. He had someone coming by about an hour later who did buy it. One day I'll be quick enough to get another one.

It was mentioned in the Craftsman collector group on FB before it made it to garage journal, so had a big audience from the get-go.

I should have posted it quicker. I had a 24 hour delay before I had time to get the post created here.

Next time...

Did it have drawers in the lower compartment, or just open? I have a similar one, with all drawers if anyone around here is looking for one.

what color paint did you use? Looks great.

 

[JoCoSawdust]

Beautiful job ZRX. Looks great!

 

[ZRX61]

It was some Rustoleum/Hammertone color. Can't recall the name, but if you stand in front of the paint prison at Lowes you'll recognize it.



Light coats so it didn't look too *hammery*

Just found the can: Rustoleum Hammered Verde Green

I have another that's really beat to ****...

Top was caved in like one of those Carribean drums made from a 55gal barrel. Drawers are split/cracked & need some TIGgery pokery. I think it will end up getting a piece of 1/8in steel on the top

That is rough

Just found the can: Rustoleum Hammered Verde Green

I used the same paint on my roller.

 

[Oldtuleguy]

Came out nice. Was it pretty straight to start with?

Mine? Yup, there's no filler used, but there was a bit of minor work with a stud welder pulling some dents out
