 What ever you'd like others to see.  Post away!     I'll  keep posting a photo or two each week.   Others can comment on them, if they want.    Hand tools in use, projects being worked on, don't matter.   When things get dull....ning-sdc13390-24426-61.jpg?width=721I could make more "Pasta"....:-))

For in side measurements. Like for cabinet door panels. I made several lengths of the 1/8" X 1" aluminum bars.

We live waaaay out in the boonies. So, blowing dust outside is no problem. 


There's a trash can separator ahead of the DC and hardly any dust goes outside, anyhow.

More random shots for the Back porch Bench:



Went out on a three day rust hunt, found a few items, but didn't spend a whole lot:ning-sdc13398-24421-31.jpg?width=721Did have a new (well, to me, anyway) base for the Stanley #110 show up.    This one is a bit shorter though.  Hmm




As for the "rusties"?   Not much rust to these two...ning-sdc13399-24421-58.jpg?width=721both do work, just need some supplies.   Cost?ning-sdc13400-24421-73.jpg?width=721That is for the pair, about a dollar apiece, whew, expensive stuff....

 A couple more lost souls showed up at the Back Porch Bench today.      One I hadn't seen since High School...ning-sdc13427-24417-18.jpg?width=721And, to think I TURNED, threaded, and tapped this?    Back about '68-69 era.    Since the Rockwell factory that made those old lathes was only 12 miles or so down the road, maybe I turned these parts on one?    In Industrial Arts Class?     Where is a class like that nowadays?     Also showing up was a square kind of guy...ning-sdc13429-24417-38.jpg?width=721Both of these guys were just collecting rust in a drawer of my late-Dad's tool box.     Looking a might sad, so I brought them home to restore.     Just to use, not resell.      Also coming along for the ride...ning-sdc13420-24417-61.jpg?width=7213/8" drive craftsman  ratchet.    I think it is a "flex-handle'.     Just a "V" for a model number.    Got all three cleaned up...ning-sdc13421-24417-35.jpg?width=721Got these two nice and shiny.   That square?ning-sdc13425-24417-67.jpg?width=721 Made in USA!   defiance by Stanley.     Model #1221.    Never had the level installed on it, either.   Cleaned up real nice.  



Hey, sometimes, I do other things besides planes....
