IMG_1239_box_c_1.jpgThis chest was purchased on Craigs list for a princley sum of 15.00 US.206 viewsI found this chest labled "trunk" Even though the previous owner had been using it as a tool box. Mainly storing junk. I believe this to be a rare Iowa Shipswright chest. But please follow along with my logic.KellysW
009.JPGW Butcher chisel50 viewsI believe this to be the ugliest chisel I have yet to find. Keeping in mind this is still prety good British steel. The handle is the true caracter in this story. Whom ever put this together was either desperate for a handle or wasn't very clever in the ways of tool beauty. Either way it took a lickin and well judge for your self if it was a success.KellysW

005~1.JPGThe Whole kit and caboodle86 viewsSome may ask about the drop spindle. GC has been watching and knows of my 4 Llamas,6 Icelandic sheep, 4 Angora goats and one ewe cross Suffolk/Dorset/Rambouillet. So my future has a spinning class in it in Jan 08. The files are part of my desire to sharpen my many saws that follow me home. The rest are made out of Galloot saved items. I believe the dove tail gauges are from a drywall square. That GC is very good at making amazing items from materials on hand. Did I mention the box? Hand cut dove tails .KellysWDec 30, 2008

IMG_1243_(2)_surp_4.jpg195 viewsIt wasn't untill I opened the box that I was absolutely sure this is a real shipwrights tool chest with every thing needed to assemble a ship. In this rare case all the parts fit right in the box. Our fore fathers realy had it figured out. Gotcha.....KellysWNov 23, 2008
001.JPGGEO Bishop & Co.73 viewsI found this saw at an antique shop. The pat date says Jan 9 -06 Laweranceburg Indiana. 14 inches long with a reversible blad. The end has teeth as well that help hold the front of the blade in place. I havn't been able to find any thing else on this item. I am looking for some guidance as to its rarity. Or mayby I should try sharpening it and use it???KellysWJul 27, 2008
