General Discussion / Estate Sale Buy -3/9/25
« Last post by Yadda on March 09, 2025, 07:19:13 PM »The estate sale was half price today, so I brought home some woodworking goodies. Craftsman 7-inch parallel clamps, a Pony and two made in China pipe clamps, an Ace Hardware, Master Mechanic axe⁶, and a Texan York nut sheller. The 3/4 inch galvanized pipe, purchased new, would have cost me more than I paid for the lot.

I hope all is well with you and you’re enjoying some shop time. I very recently completed this wall cabinet. Of course the entire project included using several different planes. The star of the show however was the Stanley #100 1/2 block plane. With a sole that is curved side to side (7/8”) and end to end (12”), I was able to rough out the contours on the top and face of the cabinet without too much trouble. I cleaned them up with various rasps, files and sandpaper.

General Discussion / Re: kraeuter doe wrench list
« Last post by coolford on March 07, 2025, 05:34:54 PM »Although these lists are great, I have a couple that are not on these lists, so they may not be complete. However, there are three wrenches that are not in my collection, so here are those I need. In the straight regular DOE I need A-2426. In the "S" type I need B-2830 and in the check nut/thin type I need C-1618. As to the sizes, I have no idea what they would be as they jump around too much. Any help getting these would be appreciated.
