New shop

[gibsontool]

We moved a year or so ago and it's taken me this long to put some stuff up on the walls. This pic is some of my Walden stuff along with a few others items to fill up the board.

[gibsontool]

Having trouble getting the picture to show up,doing something wrong but I'm not sure what. I'll keep trying before I call for help.

[turnnut]

 I like, very nicely done.

Really like your display boards, shows some artistic talent. I have three file draws full of Walden fixed socket wrenches, guess I should do something with them.  I am a Walden collector, but mainly interested in socket sets.

[gibsontool]

I have some Walden sockets but I don't think any of them are complete. I have some up on a board so I'll try to get some pictures.

[Yadda]

Very nice! I always appreciate someone that has the ability to do artistic things like this.  I do not have that skill set.

[gibsontool]

Here is a board showing several ratchets and a Walden socket set which I don't think is complete.
 First pic is the full board
 Second pic is the Walden set and 2 ratchets, the ratchet on the left is a Quick-craft US pat 3682008 but made in Japan, the other is a Sherman klove 1/2 hex
 Third pic is a closer view of the ratchets,from left to right they are,Chicago mfg,Mossberg No 350,W&M. Milwaukee,Gray, Beall speedee- ratch, AC pat No2594669,Snap on No 71N,and a Mossberg 624. the second row shows a Dresser No 5 pat No 1798194,Chicago mfg,Walden,an unknown with no markings,Indestro super3201 pat No 1902878, Craftsman,Auto-cle pat 751055, 2 - 9/32" plumb breaker bars and a Snap on bar also in 9/32"

Sorry about the 1st pic,It showed up vertical on my screen but posted horizontal, I'll have to work on that.
 A bit more info on a few of the ratchets, the Beall ( 6th one over on the top row ) when you pull on the coiled ball at the bottom of the handle it is connected to a chain which in turn rotates the head. The one on it's right is the AC brand. The knurled portion of the handles rotates both ways which then rotates the head. Seems to me there was a post of one of these a while back but I think it had a different name on it? The ratchet on the extreme bottom left of the board is the Quick-kraft, when you squeeze the handle closed it rotates the head.

   your Mossberg 624 is a 5/8"  rachet connecting rod wrench for the Ford model-T

   around 1923

The AC ratchet can also be found with the name Reechet on it.

I love the displays, thanks for posting them. Someday I'll get around to doing something similar. Someday.........

[gibsontool]

Thanks for the info turnnut I didn't know that.
Bill300d  thats the name I was trying to remember.

[p_toad]

Really great looking displays.   Thanks for that!

Can i ask about the levels?   (I have a thing for those; well, and almost anything else i find). 

[gibsontool]

Those levels are ones I use and  probably not that old, I bought the wooden new several years back, I'm guessing 15 to 20 years and the top one at a garage sale this summer for $5. Don't know who made it, never bothered to look. I do have some other interesting levels I'll see about getting some pics.

[coolford]

For some reason levels are not high on the collecting list, as prices are generally low even on the old wood Stanley levels.  I did recently pay $10.00 for a Rev-o-noc with brass fittings and three good adjustable vials.  Rev-o-noc is my name spelled backwards.
