May 31, 201411 yr At it again?   One garage sale had a Samson 8012 "drill"A cordless one at that ( $1.50 as marked)  Supposed to ratchet?   Bit is the only one I have, at the moment.  Another Barn sale had STACKS of hardwood lumber in it, and not a single stick for sale......DRAT!    Another Rumage sale had a "Handsander"Suppose this will compete with my Red B&D Dragster?  These used a roll that sat in a hollow area about where that round part is on the silver area.  Spring wire in back, and that lever looking thing in front to hold the paper.  This one may need a new rubber pad on the bottom.. They also had a drill, with a cord on itPowrkraft Drill. No reverse on this one, though... Cord might need a wee bit of work??  One more look at the Cordless DrillKind of slim pickings today.... Planer? I'm the 'planer', and these are what I use...

June 1, 201411 yr Author Well, after a bit of wire wheel work at the drill press, a bit of 3in1 oil in the moving parts areas, this might actually start to look just a bit betterNice sunny day out, might as well make use of it.  Almost finish with the clean-up.  I do NOT want to take this apart to clean the rest up.  Way too many small, loose parts to loose.  It will even make a holeonce a bit is installed.   Not to bad a drillBig knob on the end is supposed to be Lignum V.   (can't spell today..)  Very dense hardwood.  Spinner handle looks like a rosewood.... Not counting the bit, this drill costs a whopping $1.50 Planer? I'm the 'planer', and these are what I use...
