Wout: most of the guys in this Vintage tools section don't realize the value and quality of Hazet tools cause we don't see hardly any of them. that said I bet that cabinet full of them wasn't cheap to fill and I bet the TOOLS OF THE OLD WORLD THREAD with a lot of the European members looking at it had some nice words to say. did you post it over there too and did they say anything worth repeating here on your thread?
I've only seen a few Hazet tools, but I can tell their quality is up there near the top. nice score and love the vintage looking ones even more.
keep up the great work

Wout: that Gosmeta tool looks like it might come in handy.
I love your Hazet collection. I saw that you posted your Hazet tools over on the Tools of the old World where they seem to do more new tools than vintage, but I bet the guys that see it over there will be drooling.
do you prefer paint for rust protection or what is your go to product to keep rust off your bare metal and tools in your shop?

Four photographs of the wood turning lathe used in the First World War and now in my shed!
Also, the 80 year old workbench of my neighbour who owned it, and a photograph of his Drummond round frame metal turning lathe, treadle driven but he`d added a washing machine motor!

Wout: i'm wondering if you should have named this thread OLD TOOLS FROM THE OLD WORLD since you seem to be getting others from your side of the pond on this thread. I thought it was your personal thread, but good to see another member read it for what it is.
not sure you can change the thread title now cause that might open up a can of worms, but maybe editing your first post asking members on your side of the world to post their vintage tools might help.
I bet you've got a little HAZET blue on the shelf at all times. speaking of that I just learned that storing old paint cans upside down will keep the gunge from filling up the suction straw and keep your spray paint usable for many many years.
also looks like the guys on the Tools of the old world thread are noticing your nice Hazet collection too. i'm not sure Monte who started that thread is still active, but he ran that thread forever and always had something good to say. i hope he's ok and he comes back cause he was (and is) a good guy.
Mom: looks like some great tools and your neighbor looks like he's got more than a little experience using them. i love simple functional tools!!

Wout: nice work!!! yep I agree if a little modification can save space especially when most of us could always use more.

Wout: most of the guys garages I see in your part of the world barely fit a car so i'd say you do have more space than most. that said we can always use more than what we have is fairly common so do the best you can to just buy and keep the stuff you like.
your garage also looks like it was built like a tank with heavy brick walls and big rafters and beams above. good thing too if you are going to use them to hang heavy stuff from.
nice work moving your tools around which I know is no easy matter at all.
i like those Hazet hanging cabinets and do the fronts roll up? I spied a few of your little Hazet assistant crew sitting around too that I bet are full.
I spy the front of an old VW bug in there too. what year is it? I learned to drive on my dad's 1963 VW bug and when i was 12 (1968) I actually would drive around our city neighborhoods learning how to use a manual. funny I look around my parent's home today and there are so many many parked cars and tons of traffic and I never had a fear of driving or hitting anything. in fact my dad taught me how to shift using the engine's speed instead of the clutch, but i'm not sure i could do that now cause it's been years since I drove a manual.
enjoy your new tool arrangement and looking forward to seeing a few projects from those in the future too.
cheers

Wout: I know i've put "SOME DAY isn't a day of the week" in my sig line before so maybe set yourself some small goals in getting that cool old 1957 VW up and running again!! since it's truly Vintage now even though it's a year newer than I am i'm sure posting pics of it and the tools you use to fix it would be a great addition to your thread.
I bet my dad had 3 engines put in his 1963 and even though he paid to have the work done it was almost like an oil change cause how quick the change was made. also the cost back then for a complete engine change was in the hundreds for the little VW engines and not the thousands of dollars.
here's an image i'll leave you with that a pretty smart guy mentioned a few thousand years ago.
of course i'd love to see how you fill up your Hazet assistants and your shelving when you have time to post a few.
carry on and your garage sounds like not only is it built like a tank you can say you did it yourself which is even better even if it's not quite big enough now.
cheers

Wout: getting organized and using your tools is surely a good thing and happy to see your old tools you bought for a purpose have a purpose. great way to store your tools right where you need them too.
keep up the great work.

Modem: that is one good looking old blacksmith vise. I have to say that that shop had a ton of grinding done in there cause look at the pile of grinding dust under the grinder. I bet that old grinder has had more than a few wheels on it.
ALL: my Reed 4c on my old Lyon (made for government) steel bench with a few bolt bins behind it.

Wout: I know you love your MADE IN GERMANY tools, but i'm not sure what this is. CUTTER?
label says up to 64,000 pounds (of what?)
also it looks like your walls need some big wrenches or signs hanging on them or do you just like the plain brick which is pretty cool in and by itself?
cheers
ALL: not sure if vintage cause I was maybe in high school when this left the factory, but some of you know Armstrong as great wrenches and first I've seen of their name on a quality vise. it looks like Columbian might have made it for them and I'm picking it up also cause i need the aluminum jaws for this old quick release Record vice that is going to sit on one of my benches.

Wout: while I like vintage belts or V belts that look more vintage, I think you can buy adjustable belts that might get you up an running while you check in with some machinists that might know where you can get your belt.
good luck and nice repair. where's the pics of your LATHE?

When I bought my very old lathe (rebuild in 1967) the pulley was worn out. Thought it would be an easy fix to solve that but cause it's such an old motor the driveshaft is 23mm instead of the usual sizes. So it took a very long time until I found someone who could make a bushing with a 'keyway?' for the worn out pulley. They made it for me at a technical school so very greatfull to them! Had some work to make it fit and secured but it's working fine now. Now I only have to replace the belt but that's a lot more difficult then I imagined. Cant't find a manual or technical data anywhere on the web but as I found out, I have to take the upper part of the lathe appart to replace the belt
. Read a bit about 'nut-t-link' v-belts but they're only for using in 1 direction and not suitable for alu pulleys. So think I'll go for the long run and dismantel the needed parts, check the bearings and go for a normal v-belt as intended. Strange that it needs so muchs work to replace a wear part.
Wout
How about some link belt from Fenner? It would save having to dismantle the drive system.

As far as I know these are OK for alu pulleys, I've been using their products for years on farm machines they've been a very helpful company.

Wout: thanks for the shop pic and wouldn't we all like to have a HAZET ASSISTANT full of tools and bits for each machine next to them. great looking place you have there sir.
FJ: yep those are the belts I was thinking of and I thought they worked on all pulleys, but maybe Wout has a point. time will tell I guess if others or Wout find out more infor.
ALL: even for you guys across the pond who might not celebrate I hope you all have a HAPPY THANKSGIVING!!
cheers (as I'm tipping my cold mug of ice tea your direction)

Thanks Drives, of course it's not an official holiday here but in our household we make a point of marking Thanksgiving. We never know if to follow the date of Canada or USA for it though! It's good to stop awhile and give thanks for God's gifts and to celebrate the harvest of them.
Have a good one, J.

Hi Wout, of it's any help I think the 'POWERTWIST' is the one suitable for Alu pulleys, on this page if you scroll down there's a nice video with a lovely French lady showing how to fit and tension them.
http://www.fennerdrives.com/french/
There is also other pages in various other languages, but I think the French one sounds best and she's very good at fitting a V belt!!
Good luck with your projects, J.
