the hammer is a post maul

That's kinda what I was thinking.....for driving wood posts.
In real nice condition, It's still got the casting lines on the faces.

According to the interwebs this is a drill press. There should be a chuck in the part with the handle.

Guess maybe we can have a "looking at old stuff" gtg.


Couple more.....View attachment 469862View attachment 469863View attachment 469864View attachment 469865

Bases for hand/windmill pumps. They would fit around the pipe if you had both sides.

Well......I'll be a monkey's uncle.
I thought it looked like a drill press, but the v thing at the bottom threw me off.
Best part is I now see it's actually worth a few bucks on ebay.

First thing I was wondering about is if it was a pipe vice. Vee makes it for drilling round stock.

That's what I was guessing..... Tom was skeptical.....
What's it called?

Sounds right.

Hurry up......Thomas is hungry.

Thomas is always hungry

Hard to get done on 10 hour days like they throw on us for the start of the week. Dark before I get home sometimes.

Most places I find it just call it a railroad spike puller.

Some type of cutter/grinder. Think it falls under the category of tobacco grinder.

This is the type of stuff I like to have around just because. Hang it on the wall for a conversation piece.

What's this one?View attachment 469839View attachment 469840View attachment 469841View attachment 469842

Best I can figure out is some type of swing clamp. Not sure what for though.

I'll have to post up some of the oddities and deformities we find going through my grandparents garage as we sort and throw stuff away. Several pieces of transmissions on the shelves. Dad said grandfather had a truck that they had to go through several transmissions before getting one that was good. Probably late 40's or 50's Ford, he couldn't remember exactly.

Good morning folks. Sounding like it will be near a sweatbox for this time of year with 90f or a bit more, and with 87% muggyness, you get the idea.

Got a call 10 minutes into my commute to work asking if I wanted the day off. Quick u-turn and back home I am. This has been the project put on hold for a while so I will work on it today. Going to use this on shop and knew when I started I had to get everything done in one day. Once I pull the loop and mast I have to patch the roof, soffit and siding. Maybe it will cause it to rain today when I start working on the roof.

Glad it's a warm toasty day. Makes pulling apart old shingles that much easier. Quick coffee/water break and then on to making a patch and putting the shingles back on.
