Trying to make hatchet usable!
This hatchet was in alright condition, but the handle was weak, so I tried to salvage it, so far, he says it has held up, Hatchets this size are getting expensive, so it is worth saving!

    I think saving the handle was a cool idea, maybe I would have tried using wooden dowels instead of nails as pins and letting them run through, might have made a cool design. Heck I don’t know 😂 Looks good either way, I like it.

    DJ I would have laid out a pattern and made sure the nails went through both sides So look the same on each side This is a good idea I have to admit it Reason why I think it's a great idea is because it reminds me of what the used to do with flintlocks and black powder Reason why I think it's a great idea is because it reminds me of what the used to do with flintlocks and black powder rifles Because those stock stocks took a beating like you wouldn't believe Whenever they broke they nailed them together Until they could make a new 1I do like this This This is not my favorite style of axe

    Great! I know nothing about painting and I'm about to learn from a guy who tells me he knows nothing about painting. You did a fine job though. In my area, I can buy a toolbox like this in near new condition for $100 or even $50 sometimes. I would only buy a toolbox in this condition so I can paint it the color I want. I can't imagine myself destroying a nice toolbox. If anything, it would at least be in better condition than I bought it for.

    Heat up the tip of the ice pick and bend a little hook on the end. Add an old handle and you have a handy little tool that can pull o-rings or seals and clean out small corners. I used mine yesterday to clean out the nozzle on a glue bottle.

    Did you know that you are supposed to "break" in files? Use them on brass when they are new, until they don't work as well, then use them on steel. A new file on hard steel may chip very easily, the brass dulls them just a bit, so they don't chip. If you find another chisel like that, I'll pay you for it gladly. Y'all take care.

    To you the tester was probably worth it since you like it...........The Goldblatt door jamb saw is used to fit tile under door jambs, basically just take a piece of tile lay it flat on there as you cut the jamb and you have clearance to fit it under there.

    Just picked up what looks like a complete USA made Craftsman socket set from a sale on Marketplace. All the 1/4 short and extended sockets in SAE and metric, all the 3/8 short and extended sockets in SAE and metric and the 1/2 short and extended up to 32MM and 1 1/8 SAE. Got extra sockets that are SK USA one Armstrong and a 8 point Williams. Couple no name or Taiwan. Got various extensions in sizes for all three drives. 2 1/2 ratchets, 2 3/8 ratchets and 1 1/4 drive ratchet. All will have to be taken apart and cleaned. Sockets are in good shape, just a couple with surface rust on the inside, some time in the evaporust and some polishing and they'll look new again. Unfortunately no Snap-On in the mix. Sometimes I'll get lucky in buying tool packages and get some of those. I turn around and sell those at a good price because I know the Snap-On fan boys will pay top dollar for them

It took me about 1/2 hour to break it down and clean the workings and another 1/2 hour to clean up the exterior. I used a very light coating of Penn fishing reel grease and sewing machine oil. The funny thing is I have no idea where it came from.
