Super excited to find this Union Tool Chest Works tool box on Facebook. Unfortunately, it is missing the front cover and needs a lot of TLC. I hope to have a new front cover made, but finding a lock for it might be difficult to impossible. Once I clean it up, I’ll decide if it needs to be refinished completely or only some new wax. I did some research and am confident this was made between 1916 and 1918!

Did a little machining for a friend. He has an AXA tool post and the tool holders are about .100” too tall.

They must have sent @abom79’s shipping apes up to Ohio. Getting ready to install the condenser for the heat pump and noticed some damage to the unit. Appears superficial, but could be worse. I reached out to @mrcoolcomfort and they immediately started the ball rolling to get a new unit out to me. Should be here on Friday. Excellent customer service! Hoping to have the install wrapped up this weekend.

I made a mess!
I feel cheated. This is not a sandwich.

A little before and after of a Famco 13R 4 ton arbor press I recently bought at auction for a song. Power washed it, stripped the paint, new rattle can paint job and a little paint pen for the lettering. If I subtract for how much I sold my Chinese import 2 ton press, I’m into this for about $40.

My first try at machining a splined shaft. This is a test piece in Delrin before committing to some of the limited amount of 1045. Going to be a fun project to complete. Hopefully a YouTube video on making this will drop Sunday. 🤞🏻
