was looking at a vintage folding rule my partner has. it’s one of those beautifully crafted wooden, boxwood and brass tools. it’s by Hockley Abbey (John Rabone and Sons tools in Birmingham, UK). common thing as they were making 27,000 a week by 1945!
but it’s the #numerals that i’m taken by, look at the curls on the 2 and 3.

This was a Lot I got from an auction last month that was titled, Pile of Old Tools. And it was just stuff they'd thrown in a corner of a large outbuilding. 🤷🏼♂️ I love C-clamps so this was like BINGO! to me.

Der hier war die Woche auch ausgiebig im Einsatz. Über 20 Jahre alt und tut nach wie vor klaglos seinen Dienst. Ja, ich habe inzwischen auch was moderneres, das ich aber eigentlich nur wegen der Wechselköpfe anschaffte.
Der hier ist schwerer, der Akku hält nicht so lange, er baut länger, alles schön und gut. Aber diese Woche wieder gemerkt, das ist immer noch ein tolles, solides Werkzeug, mit dem man prima arbeiten kann 😊

I’ve been purchasing vintage and Antique tools lately.
Can anyone identify the one wrench? It looks like a machinist’s
Tool.
The yellow one is an International Harvester tool at least a 100yrs old.

I bought a set of machinists tools at a garage sale this morning. They are a bit rusty and dirty so I’m cleaning them up with some WD40. This is the “before” photo. I’m going slowly and being gentle so the after might take a while to mainfest.

I fixed one of my old Jigsaws.
It's not a tool I used very often and for some reason I have four of them!
Reaching for this one for a rare outing, I noticed the original blade clamp had split around the screw thread and was no longer serviceable.
The original clamp seemed to be a Mazak or Zamak casting so I made a replacement from a gash piece of mild steel.
I like to give steel pieces an oil blue finish.

What is this tool?
Clearing my Dad's garage, I came across a few things I don't recognise.
Does anybody recognise this tool?

At approximately 125mm long. The wing-nut would cause the plates to grip something. There's a compression spring between the plates.

The first one was rendered with ziptones but was a bit dull, then I added the color ziptone and blew my mind. Later I drew Loki, Javier Rodríguez design is perfect, the broken tooth is world class art.
Then I realized that those basic flat colors have a classic @Marvel feel so I went full Spider-Man with it.#MastoArt #SpiderMan #Loki #ArtMadebyHumans #Sketch #VintageTools @ZipTones

Do you see this niiiice colors??
They're done using some ziptones of the 80s (90s?), they work the same as regular ziptones, a thin sticky film that you paste to your art but instead of "points" you have sheets of flat colors.

Follow-on to my last post about my stand-up hobby workstation. You weren't imagining it. This is an "Expanse" themed drill press, right down to the MCRN property identification tag! Yes, there's a story.
Back at the end of the last century, when I bought the run-down little 1943 house on the Oregon coast where my wife and I live, my dad showed up from back-east to help with repairs, and brought suitcases full of tools, hardware and parts from his own shop. I had only a few tools of my own at the time, and so this was mostly really useful stuff. But I didn't know what to make of this toy-like drill press that he gave me.
It was from KMart of all places, a long defunct discount department store chain in the US, known more for prices than the quality of their goods. The housing was not only plastic, it was BEIGE, like some kind of 1970 kitchen appliance. Surely it was junk. Dad helped, dad left, and the drill press went into the back of my tiny, cluttered garage, where I never had a space or reason to set it up. Then a storm blew part of the roof off the garage and lot of things were water damaged, including the drill press. We tore down the garage, put anything we could salvage into storage, and set about building a new stand-alone shop building behind where the garage had stood. I ALMOST chucked the drill press at that point, but something made me hesitate, and I put it into storage.
It stayed in storage for years, even after the rest of my tools went into my new shop. I'd see it back there once in a while, and I had some vague idea I could tear it apart some day and maybe salvage some useful gears or something. Finally, during the pandemic, I pulled it out and decided to tear it apart for fun and salvage.
But when I split the case, I was shocked. The plastic held a sturdy and well-made frame, a gearbox with all metal gears rather than the plastic I'd expected, and a nice little motor. Most of the original grease was no longer in contact with the gears and had mostly solidified into gunk, but the guts of it looked good. I scraped out all the grease residue and repacked with fresh grease. I replaced the rotted original power cord and strain relief, and put the casing back together. It worked! I was quiet and strong, and I simply couldn't trash it.
I took it back apart again, cleaned the corrosion off the base and upright, disassembled, cleaned, and lubricated everything. I mounted the pedestal to a store display cork flooring sample that I'd gotten for free from a local flooring store, and on a lark, I decorated it with striped safety tape and some metal trunk handles that I had laying around the shop, going for an industrial look. The drill actually looked pretty good, but that plastic case! That BEIGE! I had to paint it! But what color?
Well, this was the covid shutdown, so shopping was hard. I did have plenty of flat-black spray paint though, so... It looked -- almost as ugly as beige. I decided to experiment with some weathering techniques I'd learned from Adam Savage YouTube videos, and make it look like painted metal that had become worn and chipped. I also added some prop-replica stickers from the TV series "The Expanse" that I'd picked up somewhere.
While I don't know that it was ever shown on TV, in the books Amos Burton can often be found at has "machine shop" in the space ship Rocinante. Now, probably this machine shop is some kind of 3D printing or multi-axis CNC device, but who's to say it doesn't have a little drill press somewhere? Yes, it's absurd, but I thought it was fun, and a bit of a conversation piece.
I'm really glad I didn't throw this away. It was a fun project to restore it and make it useful again. It's not a precision device, but fine for a lot of light drilling tasks, and it goes with my new work station well.

A bit of Scotland turned up here in Colorado - a wood-bodied "coffin smoother" made by A. Mathieson & Sons in Glasgow sometime between 1890-1900 (best guess), not far from where my mom grew up. In fantastic condition, can't wait to put it back to work after a quick sharpening of the iron.
Best guess on dating based on http://www.hansbrunnertools.com/Mathieson2ndedition.pdf
(not too worried about it if I'm wrong about the dating, don't see this as a collectible as much as it's a cool piece of history that I can actually use for it's original intended purpose) -

Vintage Black & Decker Workmate.
12 months ago I reassembled my vintage Workmate. I've got a thing about #BritishRacingGreen so that was the obvious colour for me.
I sand blasted and laquered the aluminium H-frames and bought new rubber boots for the legs.
The top was in good condition so it was given a light sanding and an application of boiled linseed oil.For more on the B&D Workmate see this excellent reference:
