I've usually
restored threads with a thread chaser or a 3 cornered file. Some of my
subscribers have asked about thread restoring files. I finally worked down the
list to this subject.

Finishing Up The Glass Plate Sharpening Station ~ by Old Sneelock's Work...





Mom took up stained glass after retirement. When
I had my first heart attack she came over while I was recovering and we worked
on a few things. When she passed I inherited a few of the tools and kept them
on a shelf in the basement. I recently found a use for some of them.

Inherited Tools & Tendancies ~ By Old Sneelock's Workshop





I wanted to make a project for the Toolmake 16 challenge from Mitch Peacock on the WOmadeOD channel on YouTube.
One of the things I needed was a way to smooth the rough edges on a piece of scrap plate glass.
The Inland Wizling CD I inherited from my Mom did the job better than I expected.
Thanks Mom

Making The Drive Belt South Bend Mtr Mount Pt 10 by Old Sneelocks Wo...

There are jobs where the proper tool just makes the whole thing a lot simpler.
Lacing belts is one of them. I managed but it is a real pain. I had to predrill the belt and mount each individual clip. Not easy but the belt will last longer than I will and it's the only one like it I have.

Repairing Antique Tools - Swan Beam Drilling Machine Part 2 - by Old Sne...



Have you ever bitten into an apple and found half a worm? With antique tools it's not always easy to determine exactly what is going on inside that pile of tape or in this case brazing rod that covers some major portion of the device.

These things I know.
These things I believe to be true.
Science and religion are not mutually exclusive. If anything they are mirrors reflecting the truths evident in each other.
Having children makes understanding Gods existence easier.
The love for a son or daughter is transcending. A fundamental change in world view that opened my eyes to the wonder of the world and all the danger that exists in it.
Do I shelter him from exposure or guide him to see the danger on his own. Knowing that I cannot always shelter him I gave him guidance and I trust him to see the dangers.
God gave us the ability to see the dangers. That ability of free thought and free will leads us to use, what we call, science to understand the world around us. Gods guidance doesn't shelter us from the world. It lets us understand the existence of what we can see and propose to be real.
I awake each day to live life anew. I will never understand all that I see, but I can believe l will wake up tomorrow.

Building a new workbench Part 12 - Mounting the vise - by Old Sneelock's...


Here's, for me, one of the best parts of mounting the vise. Boring the mounting holes and seeing the whole thing come together.
