Pictures of Miscellaneous Stuff & Things

Thanks guys. When I get some time I will post some more old stuff I have salvaged. It's hard for me to pass up a good working tool at a sale or a flea market when I know I can make it work, even though I don't need it.

Need has nothing to do with with it Dale!!! Nice save!!!

Watch out guys this is a disease that is easily caught and difficult to find a cure. Below is an example... not a third of the true number cleaned up, rehabbed, etc

I could get addicted just looking at those pictures! Now my tool hobby is under control, 2 or 3 per year.
My knife hobby, not so much under control!

Wow Dale, and I thought Q's monkey was a problem. Obviously monkeys come in many forms. But a wonderful collection.

If my dad was still alive, he could have spent the whole of Easter browsing over that selection.

Wow! Some really wonderful tools.

But it really upsets me when I see a workshop that organized. Mine is usually a mess!

Not a mess, well loved.

A happy disaster!

I've always admired old hand tools especially the ones I grew up using. I found this in an estate sale and it would barely move, there was so much grime and hardened oil on it. Taking a page out of Jerry D's book, I used my sonic cleaner with a few drops of Dawn dish liquid in it. I couldn't get the frame in the tank, but I was able to get everything else in there disassembled. I cleaned it up and reassembled it with a little bit of Quick Release oil on it, (It's not just for switchblade you know). This hand drill now turns easily and it's an entirely different piece of machinery, It's really quite smooth now.

It even has some storage in the handle for drill bits.

That’s wonderful Dale! I have a couple of those, but not nearly that clean.

I could spend a whole weekend perusing through those tools. Wow! But I agree with the others, that shop is way too organized. How do you do that???

Thanks for the comments. I have spent many hours in my shop since retiring restoring furniture, building two tall case (some call them grandfather) and other clocks for my two daughters, rehabbing old tools, building knife cases and trying to finish the never ending 'honey do' list. As far as the manufacturers or trade names they range from Stanley, Sargent, Fulton, Wards, Eclipse, Keen Kutter,Craftsman, Disston, Atkins, Simmons, Lie Nielsen, Brown and Sharp, Starett, Veritas, Lufkin, and others. I have four wooden chests (not pictured) of the first ones I acquired before I knew it was a disease. It all started with the rehab of Bishop handsaw. Two years ago I had a yard sale and sold over $1800 in tools in one day...done just to make room. Like I said don't start down this road ...there is no turning back. I have managed to cure myself and stop collecting coins, antique telephones, and fans but not tools and knives. I look forward to seeing what you collect or save for future generations to enjoy.

I don't collect. I accumulate.

We now have “air conditioning” for the shop.

That looks like a heck of a fan, Wade.

Yes sir! They say necessity is the mother of invention. But poverty has to be a close cousin!

Dad found this at a flea market and got it for $15 or so because the guy said it didn’t work. Knowing that it would just sit in dad’s basement I finagled it off of him.

The neutral wire was off the post in the motor and the prong for the ground was broken off of the plug. I hooked the neutral wire back up, put a new plug on it and she’s running like a champ.
