The thing is, i was at a loose end yesterday what with the weather being a bit off so i decided on a in-shed job and strip the 4 'orrible coats of brown enamel paint from my vintage carpenter's toolbox. I think it turned out ok for about 6 hours work.
I cant get every sceric out of the grain but the residue adds a little...............
The other reason for my rant is to see if anyone can rummage their shed and help with some nice new proper unplated slotted steel woodscrews to refix the hinges & clasps. The originals are a bit sprained now.
The sizes are i think 5G x 3/4" 8G x 3/4" and 10Gx 7/8". I need about 6 of the 5G, 12 of 8G & 4 of the 10G ...................................or a good supplier if anyone knows.
cheers for any help
Michael.

Lovely chest (said the bishop to the actress) I'll have a look later on in the week for you, I've been saving slotted screws for the past 5 or so years from all the wrecks I pick up during hard rubbish week. will pm you if I can find some.
Ps. The Orange handled PVC pipe/lending saw and its mate looks a little out of place, you'd better spend $5/10 at the local flea market this weekend and get a couple of wooden handled fixers

for aesthetic reasons

cheers
Ian

Actually the box is stuffed with my odd users but i get your gist.............
I have 2 more disstons (in need of TLC) but they dont fit, lovely as they are.

Hi Michael.

If Ian comes up short on the sizes you need I have a some new old steel stuff in jars in the shed.. I think in those sizes.. best pm me though, my brain is a little rattled this week for some reason and I'll likely forget to check back.

Nice box btw

and Bluey.. not too shabby for getting in late! Ward & Sorby Can't complain about those.

Same as Luban. My dad has a shelf of boxes of screws both brass and steel. from before we started using phillips and pozi's (Damn you, posidrive, you piece of s*%t screws). Just let me know if you need some

I have had the 'flu for the last couple of weeks so the markets were something of a non-event for me.
Went today and picked up something I should have bought 40 years ago.
I have got by with all sorts of things on the end of the string from hammer to odd bolt.
Not any more.
Now I have a u-beaut plumb bob in its own leather belt case that should serve the purpose admirably.
I have a chookhouse mark III to build, and a deck to construct in the next twelve months - so this little number will get a workout.
$20 from my favourite tool vendor at the markets.

I don't know where I was but I must have missed it the first time.

As my grandfather would say... "Pass me the Bumplop"

Nice score for a 20 Tom.. with the pouch too

Hi all,
Does anyone have any ideas on a chisel maker for this chisel. It has no markings.
Cheers

**Waldo** · 17th August 2009, 11:28 AM

G'day Deesinister,

I'm assuming the handle is black plastic? If so, it looks very much like the set of rough Stanleys I bought at Bunnies as my knock-abouts.

I think Waldo is right.
The bevel pattern is classic Stanley.
There were a range of these made in England from memory which weren't half bad chisels.
Cheers

Here's my show 'n' tell for the week.

Finally got out of the house after a few full weekends. Went to take my daughter to the local markets which are quite small and not much chop and decided to drive across the city to a larger markets to test my luck. 8 am had just ticked over when we left so I didn't have much confidence in finding anything but any Daddy/Daughter time is good.

Anway, got to the Chandler markets, walked through the gate and I could immediatly smell it. Looked to my right and there it was. First find of the day on the first stall. A nice little Record #4. $25 sticker on the tote, took it away for $20. Was very happy as my current user isn't the best and this will do quite nicely. The rest of the markets didn't hold much for me but I didn't mind. Just enjoyed the rest of the time showing my daughter all the sights.

Gave it a quick polish up tonight and it's come up quite well.

**Christos** · 17th August 2009, 10:17 PM

You say a quick polish. WOW

**Scribbly Gum** · 17th August 2009, 10:24 PM

Beautiful job Denim.
Even the chess board looks better in the second pic.
Those Record planes gave very good service.
Many people prefer them to Stanley.
Nice pick-up.

haha... very good.

Thanks guys. The plane doesn't seem to have had much use at all so I'll have to still pull it apart tune it.

Christos,
A quick polish = about an hours clean and didn't get a chance to put it on the buffing wheel.
