|
|
These are some of the old tools I have collected.the recent one a Dunlop standard footpump.
A cart hammer and spanner..always in the belt of someone driving a horse and cart.
A very old adjustable spanner well over a hundred years old. Hand made by a talented blacksmith ..the adjustable piece works so simply.Found on the Isle of Arran by my father years ago.

A vise or vice (see American and British English spelling differences) is a mechanical screw apparatus used for holding or clamping a work piece ...
Straight off google...you were right. Pat |

i was at an auction locally and there was a lot that contained various junk, but one item was an old socket set
i won the lot for £2
after a clean up i found they were made by starrett and were from the 1919-1925 range of tools
the ratchet is reversible by pushing the socket into it from the opposite side as well as pulling a knurled knob at the base of the handle

What a find! It just goes to show that there are still bargains out there.
Thank you for showing me the photos. Excellent!

Hi
We have a catalogue here, with countless old tools like that in there, anything from a screwe driver to a car lift. Makes great reading!
I like the look of the socket set! great find! I have a simmilar ratchet, and something on a simmilar note, but different, I think mine will be used with square tang drill bits, and a strong arm! hehe
Cheers

Here is a nice Vintage period tool
It would work quite well to get carbon of valve faces, but I doubt its ability to actually re-face a well worn valve.
Every workshop should have a selection of screwdrivers.
Methinks, it is time to get to work with polish and oil!
This is my favourite and most-used old implement.

Hi
I have a simmilar bench drill, bench mounted, not pillar mounted like yours, which looks really good! I see like mine it has the auto feed! hehe
I did have a big bench mounted version, that had a morse taper fitting, instead of the old chuck, not sure about drilling an inch hole with one though! hehe
I like the screwe drivers, especially the two that look very smooth from shaft to handle! A nice bit of wire wool, and some poil, and they will come up really nice!
Cheers

Those with the steel going right through the handle were most likely made by R T Shelley in Birmingham. I have a few of those and are good for tapping them on the end with a hammer whilst applying a turning action to the handle. It can really help in loosening a stuck screw. Now you know why a hammer is called a Birmingham screwdiver! _________________ Keep Torqueing,
