August 28, 20187 yr Popular Post Some of the Treasures, from last Saturday.... Was already cleaned up, before I got it. You add this to about any other brace-style drill, other than a Fay. Then you can use small twist ( round shank) drill bit, like for pilot holes. Next.. This one will need the handle worked on a bit... When I cleaned the crank handle up a bit...found the Goodell-Pratt logo.....this be a No. 329....might be worth saving? Logo is barely readable on the drive gear...says it is a Goodell-Pratt....stamped into the crank handle, says it is a No. 0477... 2 speeds! Shift the drive shaft from one hole to the other. You do need a drill this size..to power one of these.. Called a chain drill. One end chucks up into a large brace drill, or a breast drill. Chain loops over/around the beam/post/metal I beam. You chuck the required drill bit in it. Adjust the feed rate, and it will maintain pressure against the bit, taking up slack in the chain. Need a project that calls for scroll work, then I can try this one out. Seems there was an "Imported" tool......gears are enclosed on this drill.. "JORDAN" ( or JORDIN??) France...OEM colour seems to have been a dark blue? Cleaned up, and sitting in front of the Millers Falls 120 I already had. Jordan USED to have a ball bearing thrust washer( that ring was in front of it) but the balls were falling out...bearing was shot. May go through those 6 (!!!) block planes, and see IF I can get a few "good" ones made up, and working... May clean up that Defiance handplane.....and see how it does... Unless someone else sees a tool in this mess they want....the extras may go to that Junk-n-the-Box store..as Trade Bait....IF he has something worth trading for... Stay tuned ( already been yelled at, for getting a shirt dirty) May get some of these Treasures back to New In Box Status...
August 28, 20187 yr Cool beans...looking forward to the many projects & stories these items will soon be performing. Know you'll put it all to good use.
August 29, 20187 yr Author Popular Post More Treasures...... The "other" eggbeater" the one with a bit of plumbing for a handle? Well had a cheap Atkins coping saw and a fancy one....Cheapo donated the wood handle.. Even is able to hold onto a brill bit... A few drops of 3in1 oil...purrs right along... Not sure IF I'll do anything with that Defiance plane...may just be trade bait? As for the "Usual Suspects" What a mess....got to puttering around, a change here, or there.. Wound up with 5 "good" ones, maybe? That might do....The others will be for parts. That is enough, for one day...

Ah, letting it acclimate to it's new surroundings slowly before introducing it to it's till mates. Be prepared with the "speech" to the old stalwarts "hey looked what followed me home Saturday....couldn't leave it out in the cold now could I?" or it something like that.
August 29, 20187 yr Author Ok, big event, today! A box arrived on the bench... This came out of the box, just to look around.. A Reception was held... As this Millers falls #14 was the workhorse of the shop... . A piece of Pine scrap..and a challenge made.. A challenge met? Or... Just separate, but equals? Hmmmmm, to be continued? ( Friend is back home...asked IF I needed any Ash......?)
August 29, 20187 yr WR 62 looks right smart and quite at home there... I think WR 62 is up to the coming challenges and gonna' play well with all the other toys.
