It followed me home thread

I've thought of that Guy.  I made sure to ask them if I could get a refund if it broke.  I wear glasses now so my eyes will be protected

I got these at a auction today $1 for the rasp and $20 for the draw knife.

Nice finds.  What are the names on the rasp and draw knife.

On the draw knife the only thing I can see on it looks like waton and the file it says America made in the USA.

Gutshot, I like the pistol grip on that silver roller.  That looks like it could be a screen tool.


Joe, Could you bring the draw knife and rasp to moontree?  I'd like to get a closer look at them.

Sure would like to know what this tool is? It is by JW Speaker Corp. and was my grandad's. I guess it could be something to do with old head lights but it is bench mounted and does something. It might work for a bow vice. The other old tools are his also but the hatchet is one I got as a kid. I put the honey locust handle on the brass hammer. Some stuff has some markings. Ask if you want the names or symbols.

That's an old inner tube hot patch tool.  That hatchet looks like a Norlund.  Those are very cool.  Pearly gave me a small Norlund hatchet.  I need to replace the handle on it.  The ax is a Jersey style head.  The cross peen hammer needs brought back to life.  Thanks for posting.

Thanks Double O. The inner tube patch tool makes a lot of since. After WWI He worked in the Anderson Car plant in our town. Coarse it went to making other things during WWII. He started working on cars after that. Lots of cool old tools back in the day of old Fords. The man always owned a Buick. Go figure. I don't remember when I got the Norlund hatchet but I have had it since I remember. It has a cool sheath with Norlund embossed on it. The cross pen does not have a maker mark or anything still on it. I will make a handle for it next project. You don't know anything about the Custonite Hammer do ya? It is bronze or copper and has a Pat. Pend. and RG 300 on it.

I did some quick research on the brass hammer.  Looks like they still make them but under a different name.



Flex-Flo brass hammers last longer with greater economy and safety. They are made with a saw tooth hollow head, eliminating mushrooming. This unique head design allows it to keep it's dimensional stability, shape and balance. Cast heads are made with 85-5-5-5 brass and are pinned to genuine hickory handles. These are the old CUSTANITE brand hammers.

Thanks for the info.

[osage outlaw]

No problem.  I enjoy looking up old tools.

Here is the steer hide that I saw for sale.  I really wanted to buy it but didn't have the extra money and couldn't think of what I would do with it.  It sure looked cool though.




This burl followed me home from the creek today.  I think its red oak but I'm not sure.  It will follow stringman home from the Classic.

I like that cow hide too. really like that old coffee bean grinders below the hide.
