Well said!!! Congratulations.

and this is why i stay far away from boards... easier to ignore gaps in a set when there isn't an empty spot on a board

Ain't that the truth! Speaking of which........cleared up some drawer space already!

 

[jeffmoss26]

Very nice!

 

[rockinacummins]

Dang twertsy, I just sold a few 3/8 drive sockets and an open end wrench that you could have used.

But, as always, I'll keep an eye open when I hit the pawn shops!

 

[s2kattracks]

Those are nice!

 

[twertsy]

Wow, thanks Duck!

 

[twertsy]

Next problem.......where the hell are they going to go? The walls are 16' high but I don't want them out of reach.......I'm planning on using their contents. But my walls have no more empty spaces.......I have 3 more boards to hang.........somewhere Any thoughts? I'd hate to have to remove anchors/bolts, etc. and rearrange!

In my high school we had a full set of Proto tools on boards mounted on a freestanding circular frame. At the end of auto shop class the teacher would walk around the boards and instantly determine what tools were missing. I cant recall if it was three or four sided but I believe it was three high. Maybe you could make a freestanding display out of Kindorf bolted to the floor.

 

[rickhigginshtbr]

wow those are awesome! looks like if you move the air dryer somewhere, you might be able to squeeze a 3rd in there...

 

[twertsy]

Ok, got them hung. Notice all the vacancies, I certainly DO!

So here they are, next post will be all the stuff I have for trade to fill the boards.

 

[twertsy]

For Trade:
Photo one: Plomb/Proto Wrenches
two: Proto on left, S-K middle and right (a LOT of S-K Wayne)
three: S-K wrenches and whitworths top right
four: All USA sockets and stuff - K-D, Indestro, Wright, Williams, Firestone, etc.
five: Williams, all left are Thorsen (USA) and Indestro

Tell me what you need/Have for trade!

 

[Caman]

Very nice, but who needs that many Crescent Wrenches?

 

[leg17]

Just last night (Feb 20) I saw the "American Pickers" in a general store in Elaine (Arkansas, I think), and the first shot inside the General Store showed a wrench-shaped old Williams tool board.

I hollered at the TV as loud as I could, but they went right past it looking for the same tired oil cans and rusty bicycles.
SHEESH!

What's "need" got to do with it?[emoji7]

Are those plvmb sockets I just sent you in the trade drawer already ?? I will keep an eye out for you today when I go to a nice used tool store here in portland that I refer to as the tool honey hole! I will check for proto stuff that I can trade you for some more plvmb!

 

[twertsy]

No way smoke

Not sure what you mean? It's my shop.
Edit: never mind...lol

 

[Richard Cranium]

Tell us more about this tool store in Portland, I will be traveling through tomorrow.
Name and address would be great... Rich

I have a fair amount of misc proto stuff. What are you looking for. I can't see the pictures worth a damn on my phone

I need a lot more than I thought. I have no 1/4" drive sockets, extensions or ratchets. Off the top of my head, I need 3/8 drive 12 points, 1/2 inch drive 6 points, 3/8 extensions and wobbles, stubby wrenches, nut drivers and DOE wrenches. I honestly thought I could almost fill them out of my box......NOT

 

[LXCam]

I took a picture of the easey stuff to find. As for sockets I know I have a few, but all this stuff is tossed in the misc drawer and we're talking at least a couple hundred sockets to go through. But you need them worse then me so maybe one evening this week I'll dig through it. I'll post the pic later

 

[LXCam]

Well after getting a better look at the boards, WHICH ARE VERY COOL! I don't know if what I'm showing you now is gonna help. I also have a 7/16" and 7/32" old style wrench I found after taking this wrench. I also have a proto 12" adjustable, but am afraid you'll need to either come to the table with something very special or pry it from my cold dead hands, she's a quality piece. As for the socket heads, I didn't realize your boards didn't have a placement for those but since you're going proto, we can figure something out if you're interesed. What your looking at is two complete sets of 3/8 drive.

 

[Syntax_Error]

Wow. Those are gorgeous! Peg board tool organization looks good, but if your going to keep tools outside of a box what you have is the best method. That is gonna look incredible if you can fill them.

 

[twertsy]

Not to hijack the thread but it is in Portland. It is called Ted's Tool Shed and is right off of 205 at the powell exit. If you look it up it will come up online! The guys who work there are nice and will barter on prices. I made a decent haul while there so if you guys want to see it come over to the 2015 garage sale thread. Twertsy-while I was there I looked but was kinda rushed so I didn't find anything for your board but I will keep an eye out!

I might have this. I'll go out and check in a little bit.

 

[DynoDale]

I'll look through this drawer and compare to your list.

I think I have a few SAE 12pt 3/8 proto, think some fleet too if they will work for you since proto made them. I'll check my spare sockets when I get home.

 

[JMLangford]

edit: I just noticed your list of needs (pg.2 )

 

[twertsy]

Y'all are killin me. If you're interested in selling or trading for items, just let me know.
