    Wasn't there a Picture Framer's Miter Box that used this to set how long a piece was set in the cutting area ? Thinking either a Goodell Pratt Co. or...a Stanley? Basically... a length stop in a mitre box....tab that sticks up for the wood to rest against. Ruler part would be sitting down in the groove milled for it, in the metal bed. Was later replaced with a wood ruler.... You could "dial" up the length of cut....leave it sit there for the matching cuts....Gear drive allows to fine tune the cut.

    Winchester needed a way to keep its workers employed after WW1....as sales for weapons went downhill......so, they started to sell a full "kit" of handtools...I also have a square with the Winchester logo on the blade....

The "Before" looks ( Hide yer eyes, Mabel!) Uuummmm.. Coyote What? Had newspaper stuck to the sole... At the start of the Six Million Dollar Man TV show...they talked about how they could "rebuild him" We also have the Tech to do this...and send this back to 1955....no Delorian needed... A selection of wire wheels...some big.. Some not so big.. Some d

    This was Monday's "Project".... This "thing" came home from Fred's place.....I think I have finally got all 7 block planes rehabbed..this had newspaper stuck to the sole.. The goal here was to take this thing back to about ....1955 or so.. Hmm, this may take a bit.... The sole and the iron look better....as for the rest of this "Project" Millers Falls V-Line gray body colour ( 3 coats of spray on primer...) Knob was stripped to bare wood, and a dark stain applied. Red is called Red Pepper Red... I could post the entire story down in

Might post a few photos..IF anyone wants to see them....

    Load 'em up.. Might change, according to what is on the grill, this summer... I am guessing this is the "back" of the box.... And this be the "Front"? Have a fancy end, and... Not so fancy end....

    Loaded up... tried out the branding iron, again.. On the back of the box....kind of hard to tell, otherwise....Cedar just doesn't seem to do brands very well....

    In my shop, there are just 2 spokeshaves. The one in front is by Seymour Smith & Sons....the other...haven't a clue ( hanger hole was done by me) No-Name was having issues, was chattering more than it was cutting....took it apart.. The cutter needed it's back flattened, and the bevel honed. The cap was ROUGH...needed the bevel polished up, the underside flattened to match the iron/cutter....but....the "bed" for the iron to sit on....60 grit sandpaper would be almost smooth....we have ways .. Still a bit more to smooth out. Needle file, run all the way to th

    Sanded the box to 320 grit, today....by hand. Decided to just varnish the insides...more about how the box looks, than about the Cedar Smell... Ash dividers, glued to Luann Plywood...top bar is also Ash... Then close the box up, and added a second coat to the outside.. More about how the grain looks, than smells for this box...a view of the top? Those were the smallest locking rings Lowes had in stock.... So, until I do find some smaller ones, these will just have to do..... Letting things dry out for a day or 2.....then a rub down with so
