Found at a garage sale, this all-steel hammer is 1lb. 3oz. and cost me $1.00
No manufacture's name on it.
I've never seen one like this before. For its size, this thing can pack a wallop.
Is this...

A few weeks back I sent Doug a couple of hand tools that I restored for him.
On the 18th I received this email from him:

Hi Jim
Package did arrive safely. Didn’t get to open yet. Hopefully...

FYI, Bertha answered an email I sent to Doug yesterday and that is how I learned the sad news.

I just learned today from Doug Weiner's wife Bertha that Doug passed away on the 29th.
I never had a chance to meet Doug personally, but I had a great many enjoyable conversations with him on the...

The "W" series of Winchester plane models were made by Stanley in the 1920's using the Bedrock Type 4 design. For a view of one of these see this link.
You may also note that the Keen Kutter "K"...

I always enjoy your posts as I'm a sucker for restoring old rusty/crusty hand tools.

Email sent with one possibility.

I was at that sale Tom.
If I had known you were there, I would have looked for you. :)

Just FYI, my understanding is that Stanley acquired Union in the 1920's.
So not sure if the cap screw threads might have changed then - maybe we'd need to know which Union version you have.

I...

Some time ago I was contacted by a fellow creeker who asked if I could refurbish a plane he acquired at a yard sale (as some of you may know, my retirement hobby is restoring old tools). Here are two...

Thanks to Greg and others on this thread for the kind comments. :)

As I've mentioned in previous Classified listings, this hand tool restoration thing is a retirement hobby.
It's one thing I can...

I see this thread is old, but I am having this same problem now.
I have a listing in the Classifieds section that I would like to edit (changing it to "free shipping") but I do not see any way to...

Good suggestion Jim. Thanks!

Yes, the lessons I learned from breaking the top off a frog a few months back are:

- Set up the rig so that only the rivet touches the anvil - difficult to do on most Bailey frogs because there...

I have a Sargent model 408 VBM plane with a lateral adjustment lever that is a bit loose; the rivet holding it to the frog is not holding it snugly. The lateral lever still moves the iron one way or...
