Hi folks, I have always known this saw sharpening jig so it is a bit sentimental to me. It was the first thing I looked for when Dad could no longer use his workshops. My question is do people use things like this anymore?

A few more tools or types of thing for help with please! Definitely getting there with the sorting now, and I am all set up and enjoying e..y. It took me a while to understand it and get started but am mostly enjoying it and chatting to folks country wide. All credit to UK workshop members...

A very belated happy new year! Illness, family in hospital and minor surgery have delayed sorting at dad's workshop but I am back to it and have a few things for help with! As I don't know what they are I am never sure if I have posted in the right section so apologies if not!

Hello folks, I have been sorting through all the different types of saws and am getting there with them. But whether these handles are useful or not is something I wondered if any one might know. The smaller ones have some writing on and what appears to be the date in 1958? I would...

Hello everyone, We have this band saw conversion kit at dad's workshop and 10 bands blades. My question is is the kit of any use? If so what would be it's value. And are the blades of any use and again an idea of value. Finally question is do you think ukworkshop members might find them...

I thought to write this post because I wanted everyone to know how grateful I am for the help to date and perhaps it might bring more understanding when people like me contact ukworkshop in the future. I was very upset when I contacted ukworkshop and there was the suggestion that I might be...

Hello folks, At Dad's workshop there are many saw sharpening files, not used, some in original wrapping. (I can post photos tomorrow when I am next over). For now my question is do people still use these?

Hello everyone, Another unidentified object at dad's workshop. Trying to determine whether scrap or of use. I wonder if anyone has any idea what this lever might be? The measures are of pressure, maybe steam pressure? It is made of brass and heavy and shiny. It has a hole in the rounder...

Hello everyone, I have been sorting through lots of small brass cabinet locks at Dad's. Many do not have keys. Do you think these are really scrap or can keys be made? I can photograph them on Tuesday if a photo would help. Many thanks Linda

Hello everyone, Would you be kind enough to look over these engineering items. I have taken out the Moore and wright things and these are the others which for the most part seem older. Some have brand names some don't. The picador thing I wonder if it is more for a table saw? As well as...

Hi everyone, At dad's I have found a Myford planer thicknesser attachment with bracket and spring clip. And 3 new Myford planer blades. Some Myford planer information sheets too in an envelope dated 1974. I would like to put them up for sale on this site but I am not at all sure of their...

Are these things all part of a metal scrolling set? The handled one seems to be a punch. Not sure if the bracket goes with it. Would it be worth trying to find a new home for it?

Hi everyone, yesterday at dads workshop a whole load of items were identified as parts from lathes, and not the 2 lathes we have. Do you think it is worth me photographing with a view to deciding if to scrap or if they might be of use as spares?

Possible sharpening tools?

I think the two flat ones are metal scrolling jigs? Does the thing with the handle belong to this kit? It ppears to be a punch, maybe for making holes in metal. Is the red bracket part of the set. Are they worth trying to find new owners for? Final question, there are other metal cutting...

Does anyone know things about axes. Dad has 9, one is a Sorby, one name appears to be John Rile? Some seem specialist and some very old. Any help greatly appreciated. Thank you, Linda

A few more questions about pricing and identification

I have been doing more sorting today at dad's workshops and wonder if anyone can help with identification of these things. Please do say if this is tiresome or inappropriate

Hi everyone, Here is a photo of the Drummond metal lathe which is at my dad's and was my grandads. There are many cutters, wheels, chucks plus plus and 3 Mitsubishi motor drives with motors of varying hp. I can't find a serial number on it. Would anyone have any idea of its age and of its...

Hi there, I joined ukworkshop this morning and asked members a few questions about my dads workshop clearance my sister and I are currently undertaking. Some suggested my questions were better directed to a moderator. My reason for joining is to find a place where I can make contact with...
