Ok, shop in the midst of a tool cabinet build....decided to pare the pile of tools down a bit, so the cabinet won't take up the entire shop... yankee items? Between the screwdrivers, and the push drills....needed to reduce the herd a bit on both...(Brass one is now retired..)so... Went through these...any defects caused one to disappear from the crowd....broken/missing springs, selectors, prawls...bent shaft....and I was left with these...and the singleton.. For then BIG jobs..The push drills? I retired the Millers Falls ones...since I have 16 tips for the 3 North Brothers #41s... Just need to learn to sharpen them tips... squares...combo squares needed cleaned up... Will keep both of the 6" squares...trying to decide on one or two of the 12" ones...the speed square.. I use that to figure out what angles to set the mitersaw to. There are a few all-metal try squares...all went into a drawer. Will sort through the wood handled ones tomorrow. Egg Beater drills have their own til...limited space...helps control the size of the crowd. Brace drills...were getting out of hand...14 of them! Soo..today...sorted through the mess at bit... Green circles are from Germany. left one is worn out, right one was retired, anyway, Red circle? Made in Japan...IF you see a brace head with those two lines...walk away. There be potmetal inside of it. The other 2 were locked up, and or bent...There was also a clone of a Stanley No. 945-8...no markings, wrist handle frozen in place...Into the drawer with them. Which left 8 more to sort through.. This be the P.S. & W. Samson #8012.....12" sweep. Not the largest one I have... but close. Fancy chuck will hold tightly to about any type of bit you might use... And this be a Stanley No. 730-14.....14" sweep, bearings everywhere...for those really BIG bits. This is one of two 10" sweep braces....a Millers Falls No. 22..the other? The rings on that handle are made of Pewter. Drill was sold as a Keen Kutter N 104.....methinks it was made by Millers Falls as a #1053....10" 8" sweep drills? One of 3 "good" ones...from about 1905...Goodell Pratt Co. No. 408...uses a stick shift to go from forward to locked to reverse..shaped like a loop. the other 8" braces are twins And.. Two. Stanley 945-8....trying to decide which to keep....there are two 6" sweep drills..( keeping both..) Keen Kutter KB6.....made by Millers falls as a #1054...I think..the other is a Stanley.. marked as a "X3 6in" and is for the USA O. D. ( United States Army Ord Dept. ) Need to go to Menard's buy a stack of either 1 x 10 x 4', or the 1 x 12 x 4' boards, on sale I hope...and then build a cabinet to house most of the "good" hand toys...er...TOOLS. Stay tuned...this might take a while... The "Before"? Might make use of some of the wooden parts....And, find a shelf for the power tools. Maybe some pegs to hold the braces on....maybe stack them up on that peg?

Yard sale had a bucket for sale @ $10, well they had three of them. One though, stood out from the others. Seems that sticking up out of that bucket was a 36" long, two-handed screwdriver. And a Disston saw. The rest of the "goodies down below? WS Backsaw, a Germany H.S.#102 brace ( 10" sweep) five more screwdrivers, three wire brushes, the frame for a Stanley 295 sureform file, three gear pullers, a 10" Ridgid pipe wrench (ah, ain't he cute) and that 5 gallon bucket! A look inside the bucket Plus that Disston saw that was sticking up? 26" straight back, 8ppi crosscut, with a full etch. Handle looked a little weird and the medallion does says Warranted Superior. The etch says it is a "National Hardware Special" with Disston in big block letters over a keystone. Below that is a double scrolled line with 1840 Philadelphia 1940 between the lines Saw was made for a trade show in 1954. The next year HK Porter bought out Disston. Worth the ten spot?
