  1. it appears to be a "drove"...used for finishing bricks with a smooth surface (instead of a scutch with teeth) "A drove is a type of cutting edge for either a scutch hammer or scutch chisel. It is similar to a scutch comb, however it has no teeth but rather two sharpened cutting edges."
  2. Any further word on this...just curious and thank you.
  3. i still have the lead/solder smelter and bars of each. Not to mention the graphite packing rope. still remember sitting around the lead smelter to pour soldiers into carbon smoked molds why my younger brothers and i were kids.
  4. found this out on woodnet "I called Ridgid support and spoke to Theresa. She provided the following information. For the old (gray case) model the thread size is 5/16" x 18 tpi - left hand threads For the newer (orange case) model the thread size 5/16" x 24 tpi - left hand threads"
  5. for a bushing? what size are you talking about. i'm forever collecting bushings out of old tools i take apart at our local restore and if i have one that will work for you it's all yours.
  6. for this type of auger i would recommend clamping style locking collars... this will give you enough to lock reasonably around the auger.
  7. interesting article about these corner braces here... https://www.georgesbasement.com/geobasmt/grbraces/grbraces.htm
  8. If you live anywhere near a MARC's, you can get awesome there...spray bottle and gallons, too.
  9. plain steel bench blocks taken from the throw-away bin...apparently people don't know what they are.
  10. and yes, they both had bits in the handle....apparently not much appreciated these days.
  11. it seemed to start off a bit slow and then gathered steam and kept going... glad to see it doing (fairly?) well and thanks to all.
  12. just because i was curious....i did a web search for the .65 the saw vise shows costed in the 1911 catalog and that's about $21.00 in today's money. not too shabby, although i frankly doubt we could produce one at that price anywhere in the world these days.
  13. That just kinda scratches the surface of lamp parts that i have on hand...
  14. so, to make this story complete - this is the Stanley 42W saw set which i found at the store...ok, this one cost me a couple of bucks...
  15. interesting....i cleaned up the vise a tiny bit and it shows the number '94' and i found this on another site "ANTIQUE EARLY SARGENT SAW VISE # 94 CLAMP CAST IRON OLD" with the attached pictures so, although i don't know age or production years yet, i do know more.
  16. i wish i could tell you more. i looked it over top to bottom (and yes, i posted it upside down...sorry) and couldn't find a single mark on it anywhere...no numbers, names, etc. everything seems to work (after a fashion) and i want to clean it up a bit and put it to work with the set i just got (it's safe in a box somewhere). i'm guessing the party who put it into the "throw this stuff away" bin had not a clue that it was for holding saws for sharpening and setting
  17. i'm sure some of you already know what this is...i couldn't believe it when i found it sitting there waiting to be junked.
  18. any normal 3/8" drive socket. the little button pushes right in.
  19. looks like a hand scutching tool for hemp or flax. with no dimensions it's hard to know more.
  20. and then you end up with things like this....yes, that's a 3/8" square tip on that and the whole thing appears to have been made like that. can't say i've ever seen one like it before.
  21. Ran across these two boxes recently at the restore. the wedges box (who knew they had a name?) and the price on the old hinge box (it's empty)
  22. you may very well be able to find a manual online...i found several referenced, so it depends on the number you have. 351.217130 351.233731 351.233831 per vintagemachinery web site 351 was made by Colovos Co.
