I keep on trying to get better at the metal work and see all his cool tools.

Well ended picking a 1915 Metal shear made just a few miles from my house. Back when they were making equipment in the USA.

Here is what I saw on a craigslist ad.



I figured the first two digits in the serial number was the manufactured date.

Here is a add for a similar one in 1911



Here it is after stripping down and repainting, in the craigslist add you may think it is rust but it was painted mauve.



Now I have to start fabbing some stuff to restore my 63 Corvair Spyder....

Nice! Great to see vintage tools brought back and given another lease on life!
