October 31, 20178 yr Popular Post I seem to have a thing for "cordless" drills.... All but one of the eggbeaters... While cleaning the shop a bit, getting ready for the next projects, found a few other items.. Things seem to come in pairs around here...happens when I can't find the first one... Also set out most of the clear Poplar I have left.... Kicked a few braces out of the "overhead til" and stashed all but one of the eggbeaters.. As this No. 104 Millers falls wouldn't fit in the slots....handle was rattling for a reason. What is left of the push drills. Stashed these back into a drawer... Poplar was cut to size.. 2 ends, 2 sides....had to dig around to find something to use as a bottom panel.. May need to trim it down a bit.... note the brace til? Near as I can tell, this is all there is....from a 14" sweep down to a couple 6" sweeps... I found not only a gouge, but a handle for it...cleaned both up.. Someday, I'll learn how to sharpen one of these out chanel thingys...marking gauge was used to help lay out a few pins... Laid out the pins....as i do pins first.. Note how I mark the waste? Two other items emerged in the clean up.. Pen is for scale....chisel is by Butcher. Screwdriver has Rosewood for the handle. Migraine hit...hard to see well enough to do much...it can wait until Tuesday....

October 31, 20178 yr Cordless, reversible, auto-braking, adjustable speed, adjustable torque, keyless chuck, never needs a battery charge. What's not to like? Hmm, you do half-tails?
October 31, 20178 yr Sweet collection acquirements...assuming the "red handled" brace is a M-F?, appears you've garnered three "Buck Rogers"...the 104, the 100, and the brace...technically would have tennanite instead of wood handles, but from what I can figure out some with "red" wood are considered part of the Buck Rogers era... Stumbled on to this site a couple weeks back The Valley Woodworker---Buck Rogers

November 3, 20178 yr Popular Post Reminds me: I was given a Stanley "Defiance" model cordless drill a few years ago. Curious as to what the "defiance" model was, I looked it up; seems that the king of England told Stanley that he would never be able to make tools with the quality of those made in England, so he put together a line especially dedicated to the king! It is still operating, but the king is no longer around!
November 4, 20178 yr I just bought a Stanley Defiance small block/model maker/pattern plane at a flea market. Identical to the Stanley 102 except the iron (blade)...I'll try to get a thread and some pictures posted soon. Haven't had much time to be here lately.
