    wow, google image search pulled up these exact images on an ebay sale and they don't know what they are either...

    i would call that a chipping hammer, but that handle is superb.

    sorry i'm late to the party. back in the olden days i worked part time at a Frisch's and that was before the pre-packs that are available now. we would have to make up hundreds upon hundreds of small paper cups full of tartar sauce and i got to the point where for years afterward i couldn't eat the stuff. ditto for picking strawberries for their pies. you probably don't want to hear the rest of my stories about the massive amount of excitement that was available for .80 per hour.

    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."

    Any further word on this...just curious and thank you.

    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.

    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"

    that's why they make wiggle nails.

    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.

    for this type of auger i would recommend clamping style locking collars... this will give you enough to lock reasonably around the auger.

    Help ID old brace

    interesting article about these corner braces here... https://www.georgesbasement.com/geobasmt/grbraces/grbraces.htm

    If you live anywhere near a MARC's, you can get awesome there...spray bottle and gallons, too.

    plain steel bench blocks taken from the throw-away bin...apparently people don't know what they are.
  16. p_toad
    and yes, they both had bits in the handle....apparently not much appreciated these days.

    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.

    That just kinda scratches the surface of lamp parts that i have on hand...
  19. p_toad
    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...
  20. p_toad
    from an online 1911 sargent catalog

    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.
  22. p_toad
    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
  23. p_toad
    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.

    any normal 3/8" drive socket. the little button pushes right in.

    looks like a hand scutching tool for hemp or flax. with no dimensions it's hard to know more.
