The die stock looks great! I like the color you chose and it is always so satisfying to take something that you can't see markings on and then to find them when you clean it up! I do have a footprint adjustable in my collection, but not a snail brand anything. Yet...
Hey Ant, nothing better than coming home and getting into the cool air and finding one of your vids. I didn't get the notification even though I turned them on. Just a heads up. That tap handle came out fantastic . Can't wait to see the brace bits finished out ..that was a great score. Those nippers are sweet and that Snail hammer I can't even find a spanner here and now you're gonna tell me they got hammers too! send me an e mail. I didn't see yours listed on your about section.
Aaaah, the hammers are out there, but that’s the first I’ve found , tbf, I don’t know how to do emails on here, I must find out , have a great weekend ☺️🇬🇧🇺🇸
Ant, nice clean up. Those bits will clean up pretty awesome too. They do make new tool rolls in various sizes and configs. The estate sale I went to last Friday had a bunch of Ridgid pipe cutting and threading tools that I was able to rescue for cheap. A lot of other stuff came home with me from that one including a Milwaukee Sawzall like new for about $10. The hammer is for masonry. Like my friend @Uwannawatch, I have yet to see any Snail tools. I have found a few Footprint punches though. The search continues. George
@@tony1721 Sears was one of THE main department stores in the USA for like 100 years. Craftsman was their brand for tools (Dunlop was their cheaper brand) and lawn & garden stuff. They had auto service centers at some of their locations. They had hardware/appliance stores. They had a huge catalog that you could order from. Back in the day, rural America did their shopping in the Sears & Roebuck catalog because it was more convenient than traveling to a larger town. As they fell on hard times, they sold off everything of value (like the Craftsman brand) and bought another dying discount department store "K-mart", but they both just withered and died.
