It’s customary every post begins with “it’s been a year since my last post<\/strong><\/em>” so with that out of the way…<\/p>\n

Well, it’s Christmas day and the office is closed so around here that means old tool restoration project. But today’s a little different even though everything is vintage it’s all NOS! So, all I have to do is pretty stuff up to make liking and assemble, what a treat! Today I’m working on some > 1\/2-Inch square files, 10 of each cut, 30 to assemble. Rumor has it they were locked up in a maintenance room at a prison, the seller said the boxes were dated 84. Who knows, it’s a good story so let’s go with it…<\/p>\n

The handles are late 80s\\90s vintage from a business that was making a widget, and using the handles on said widget, but since gone under and got dumped back onto the open market. In their many years of sitting, they picked up a rough texture but nothing that can’t be fixed.<\/p>\n\n\t\t
