Good morning Patriots. This small Drill Press was my first machine restoration. It’s a Globe brand, for the information I have sorted, I believe it was made in Geelong Australia, out of the Dawn factory. (I know I will be corrected) Dawn made (vice) etc. I’m not calling them vices, purposely Looking forward to your comments and questions. It’s 99% original. The person I purchaed it from had the handle made. I had to purchase a bag of vintage brass split pins, for one pin to hold the flywheel on. ThankYou

From the Smithsonian on caring and preventing damage (attached file). Especially see the note on vinegar & linseed oil concoctions (p. 15) And an article by Jeff Jewitt on saving the finish (without stripping when possible) And Flexner why "don't refinish and 'destroy the value'" is not always correct and a response mcifurniturecare.pdf

The last mill didn't work so I had to set it aside for a while. In the mean time the antique pepper mill kits came in from Penn State Industries. They are actually much much simpler than the other kits I've ordered to put together. Not a bad price for a copper set. the only thing I needed to do was make and shape the body for it. I decided to make it out of some ambrosia maple. Which sanded all the way up to 600 grit looks extremely nice with the first coat of stain on it. I'm thinking these are going to wind up being Christmas gifts for next year. Either way I'm liking this. https://www.pennstateind.com/store/PKGRIND-4.html

A Navy buddy picked up some old tools and is looking for some help identifying them. Any ideas on these??? Thanks!

I was contacted by a Navy buddy about his wooden hand plane. He was interested in what it might be worth. I know it is difficult to say without a detailed description and hands on. Here is what I know- About 28" long Blade is stamped with Thomas Firth and sons The body has a stamp of W. Hoger- he said this is very hard to read He sent me these 2 pix- Any information and help will be greatly appreciated. Lew

A friend brought over to me a small table........in parts. She said it has been in her family for more than 150 years. I could see where had been repaired before (maybe 3 times) with hide glue and even it was falling apart. She wanted to keep it as original as possible. The top was awful and it looked like it may have been replaced. There were nail holes on the underside that went in two rows. She said she believed it to be Walnut. When cleaning/sanding some areas, the dust was more reddish than Walnut and the wood was very light. However when I applied a finish to the top, it came out looking like walnut. Having never worked with really old wood like this, I don't know how it ages. Does Walnut act this way as it gets really old? Another thing I found that was unique was that the end of the post, where it goes up in the table, had a tapered slit. You put a tapered shim in and when you tapped the post in, it self tightened. Never even heard of that, but a great idea. The bottom mount board was split in 3 pieces with a forth piece missing, which I replaced. You can also see the red look on the underside of the top.

I'm finally getting around to rebuilding my computer. This will not be a new build, as most of my parts are at least six years old. I'm simply going the "Steampunk" route with this rebuild. The computer will be built into this Art Deco desk made by the W. D. Allison Co. which made furniture for Doctors/Dentists offices. The W.D. Allison Co was located in Indianapolis Indiana. I'll be using a total of three Dell monitors. Two Model 1907FP's and a Model SP2008WFP. All 3 monitors were freebies that I got from my neighbor. The 1907FP's will be mounted portrait style, and slide behind the desk when not in use. The SP2008WFP will be housed behind the sideways rolling roll top. I'll have to build out the back of the lower section of the desk (behind the lower doors) to fit my motherboard/tray, and RAID drive enclosure that I'll be using. My motherboard is an Asus M3N72-D with an AMD Phenom II X4 940 (3.0 Ghz Quad Core) Black Edition Processor. I'll be using Thermaltake Orb coolers for the memory, and video cards, along with an Asus Black Knight CPU cooler. All of the coolers are copper finned, to go with the copper finned coolers on the Asus motherboard. The tray is from an old tower case, I'll be painting it black.

Sometimes you never know what kind of call you are going to get about woodworking. When folks find out you do woodworking they always have a project that "won't take much" and want you to do it for them. I really enjoy building new projects and I really don't like re-doing old furniture. I love old furniture but I am not a restorer. Anyway I got a call from a very good friend that said he had gotten this old dresser years ago from passed down from his great grandfather and it just needs a little glue here and there and wanted to know if I could fix it for him. Well I told him to drop it by and I would see when I could work it in. Oh my, this is going to need a lot more than just a little glue here and there. Several of the drawers are missing the bottoms and all of them are going to have to be put back together. And I will say the old hand cut dovetails are pretty neat, but I don't want to have to start making new pieces to match up. Looks to me like these never had any glue on them. But wait it gets better. This is the good side of the chest and it appears to be made of oak. Nice panels that are solid wood. But then when I saw the other side. Yea, no wonder the drawers weren't sitting in there straight. The guides are missing for both of the large drawers. Well I told him I could make the panels and put the side back but he could finish it. He told me he wanted me to finish it but he didn't want to change the old look of the chest. I am not sure how you finish it old distressed, but I am sure I will come up with something. The front of the drawers looks to be made of something other than Oak.. I couldn't really tell if they were Maple or Cherry or something else completely. Anyway I guess it will be something neat to restore. I would rather see it back in use than to go to the burn pile. Oh and it is also going to need all new hardware, something period correct. I am thinking this may be late 1800's or possible early 1900's. Any ideas? Just a little glue here and there and she should be ready to go! LOL
