Hi Adam just a quick note to say I recently discovered your channel and to say I enjoy your videos very much. I'm a retired machinist myself and I always have an understanding of what you're doing, it's clear you know your stuff and I find your vid's very entertaining and informative. I wish you every success for the future. Dave, Norfolk UK

Adam: That tool box was made by a sister company of Gershner Tool box Co. They stop making about 1940. You can buy the felt from Gershner and the correct hide glue. I refinished one like that and that how I found out the information. The one I fixed was not in as good as yours, it look showroom quality now. Good luck

Thanks for posting Adam! My Dad had a Colombian vise. I ran a lot of projects through that vise as a kid. Brought a tear to my eye remembering that old vise, but my Dad's wife gave a lot of his stuff away after died and before we could get a court order to stop her. Someday I'll have a vise like Dad's again !

I was so glad to have you down here so you could share in the flywheelers experience. I'm glad the Hartman vise got the SECOND best home it could ever have. You wouldn't have got it if I had gotten there first, but I guess that's what I get for helping Keith Rucker buy up all the Eagle 66 Oilers. Be sure to say hi to Stephen Cox for me......

I have one of those Lufkin Boxes from my great grandad. Its still filled with his daily tools from when he was a tool maker in Detroit and Saginaw back in the 1940's. I never really knew that lufkin was in the Machine tool business until I took a look inside there. I just thought they made rulers and tapes.

I'm sure you do. I live 60 miles away from this one and I have never heard about it. I'll be willing to bet there's something like this near you. Maybe not as big, but something. It's mainly a flea market, but he only really showed us the pertinent part, the tools. So in sure you've got a flea market at least.

Abom or anyone! I have a beautiful Starrett Athol model 323 1/2 bench vise I have restored. Unfortunately, I somehow lost the swivel clamp lock for it during a move (it baffles me, but somehow it is just gone.)... I'm on the lookout for this part which so far has been impossible to locate... If by chance anyone has this part, runs across this part at the swap meet/garage sale, or happens to run across one of these vises in poor shape where this item can be salvaged from it for parts.... Please respond to this comment! I'm seriously on the hunt!!! Thank you! Love your aura and work Abom,. Thank you for sharing this timeless Americana!

The ice cream makers are my favorite. That's the first time I have seen a pastel pink tractor. lol If those old tool chests are in daily use for a few decades, they pick up a unique odor of the shop. That's occasionally a pleasant, nostalgic scent, and occasionally it's mildew and mold. (edited to correct drunken typing.)

You are right it is a great hobby and it’s very fun to find something that you are excited about and then to get a fair price on it. That’s what’s keeps me up at night. That’s my Disney world dream. Ha. And make sure you tell Your fiancé we really appreciate her being in the videos and helping record.

Your Lufkin tool chest is a EXACT match to my great grandfathers H.Gerstner & Son's tool chest out of Dayton, Ohio. He was a gold smith and used it as his traveling show case to show his rings, pendant's, chain's and gold script's (hand bent gold wire in a name or logo). I still have the box and today it houses the family coin collection with a few of His gold rings, my favorite being a LARGE yellow diamond with a rare cut in a gold band with silver inlay with 2 side diamonds. Someone must have been kicking these boxes out for different companies, the only differences I can see between yours and mine are the names on the locks and the builders plates! EDIT: so typed H.Gerstner & Sons into search engine and they build fine wooden chest and are still in business! So sublet to Lufkin perhaps? PS: Your gunna wanna check out theyre web site and KZfaq CHANNEL! hehe 8)

On Abby's box, you might sneak in some HDPE slider strips on the side of the drawers to work against the metal non moving part to prevent any further abrasion and to make for silky smooth sliding. Those are some really nice looking hinges, lots of character... Good eye, Abby! I have several boxes full of hinges from auctions, not many are that nice.. Great video as usual. Envious of the vises, they are one of my vices.. LOL.. Michael in Colorado. Currently16°F @ 4mph SSE.

Oh, for the drawer slides just rub some wax in there and they will smooth out
