This is for beating bushog blade bolts out. Set the sleeve over the bolt (it stands on it's own), insert caphead screw, hit with maul. That screw is about an inch in diameter and it's stretched.  |

The village we live in has an annul fall festival and saw a blacksmith forging axe heads the way they would have been done a couple hundred years ago.
Came home with one of his hatchets.

 Robert Sorby HS86 rouging gouge on the left, the tool on the right is basically the same thing only with a replaceable carbide blade. I use them for turning pens and bottle stoppers. |

 I don’t know if this qualifies. My wife’s grandfather ran an auto repair shop I’m guessing starting in the 1930s. I recycled some of the wrenches into crosses for Christmas presents today. My wife reallly likes them and they are neat because of where they came from. |

That's cool! Are they tacked together or just held with the copper(?) wire?

Think I may have posted this once.  This was the smaller of the two we had, I don't know where the bigger one went, must have been loaned out and never returned. We used to use it for changing valves on the pump trucks. |

I literally found this 3.5" Fulton vise on the side of the street, and learned a neighbor was cleaning out an old shed at his newly purchased house and was trying to give the vise away. I dragged it home and did some research. The company was in business from about 1905 until 1929. This made sense, as there was about a hundred years of rust, old grease, and grime on it. I spent more than a few hours cleaning, filing, filling, cold bluing, and painting. The Single Seven is there for moral support, newly back from David Clements. I'll post some separate pictures of that a little later...  |

Well seeing as how I’m a mechanic you’d think I could find one picture out of a thousand of a tool to share in this thread. No such luck. How about a pic of some tool storage? I was a ford master tech for 8 years and got out a few years ago. Work for my local municipality now  |
