  1. Bottoming Gouge This gouge is deigned to clean up the bottom of wooden bowls, that hard to reach center where the grain comes together. Sometimes it is referred to as a "dog-leg" or "swan-neck" gouge. These gouges are forged from 5160 spring steel and the large gouge has an overall length of 15"-16". The blades are 1-3/4" - 2” wide and are approximately a #4 - #5 sweep. The small gouge is about 12” long and the blades vary between 1-1/2” to 1-3/4” wide. The sweep is similar to the large gouge. Handles are turned hardwood with a coper ferrule. The tight sweep gouge is similar in size to the small, but with a much tighter sweep for small bowls and mid sized kuksas.

  3. Here's a 1932 Buick body. The seller says "no rot. good wood".
  4. Not that it helps identify this item or the manufacturer's logo in any way, ...but...that symbol we erroneously are calling a diamond is actually a "rhombus". ...glad to straighten things out for y'all.
  5. From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia The Traffic Motor Truck Corporation (TMTC) was a St. Louis truck manufacturer from 1917 to 1929. It used Continental engines chiefly, and sometimes Gray Victory engines. The company was based at 5200 North Second Street. Guy C. Wilson was TMTC's president and Theodore C. Brandle was its vice president. Stephen W. Avery was the company's advertising manager. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Traffic_Motor_Truck_Corporation Text Appearing Before Image: 104 THE SATURDAY EVENING POST November 13,1920 Text Appearing After Image: Ci!! lorse Setis< Nearly one-third of all motor-driven vehicles are used in agriculture. Extensive plans are being made throughout the country to keep highways clear of snow and ice this winter. Motor vehicles have done more for the development of good roads than all other agencies combined in the history of traffic on highways. Profits from hauling are measured by economy of operation—first cost and last cost. You will haul with a Traffic Truck if you are deter-mined to make a new profit out of your hauling, just as thousands have already done with Traffics. The Traffic saves hundreds of dollars in first cost,hundreds of dollars in maintenance cost, and cuts in half the cost of hauling with teams. It hauls a 4,000-lb. load 14 miles in one hour for 30c worth of gasoline. The Traffic Truck has never carried a war price. Our present low price is hundreds of dollars under that of any other truck i
  6. I don't understand why you would want to deviate from a tried and true, proven method of sealing and preserving a tank by possibly ruining it during the plating process or later finding out that whatever fuel you put inside it reacted with the plating and may have even damaged more of the fuel delivery system or even the engine. I can also envision future disagreements between you and your plating shop as to what might have gone wrong and who's fault it might be. For my money, and peace of mind, I'd go with a proven tank sealer and not experiment. I have used DIY products and also farmed out the job locally and have always been satisfied over the years. Good luck, whatever your choice is.
  7. Yes, there were other models of the A40 other than the 4-door (the Devon) including a 2-door sedan, (the Dorset), a panel truck (Devon Van), a pickup, a convertible (the Tourer) and even a station wagon (the Countryman). P.S. They all came with hubcaps...

  9. Here's some info from an earlier post:
  10. https://www.msn.com/en-us/travel/adventuretravel/mobile-department-of-licensing-office-hits-the-road-in-washington/ar-AA1o3RKG?ocid=hpmsn&cvid=b3a3ead910e4439daf9dd2ab582e5b64&ei=37 A two-year pilot program is sending a van to every corner of Washington state, bringing DOL services to places like the San Juan Islands, which have no DOL office.
  11. https://portland.craigslist.org/mlt/cto/d/gresham-chevrolet/7743155746.html (If this were a 2-door, the price would probably be double. Nice sedan, well presented on CL ad with lots of pictures. Even the inch-walls look good, IMO.) 1955 Chevrolet 210 Automatic 6 Cylinder Manual 3 speed. Clean Title No rust Runs perfect odometer: 81455 title status: clean (Sorry - went back to the ad to get seller's contact info, but ad was deleted. I guess somebody snagged a bargain.)
  12. This is Sebastien's 1978 Dodge. I believe it is a faux police car. His parents have an early '40's Buick sedan. ...and he owns this Subaru BRG, I believe.
  13. Well, it's a truck now, but it probably was a touring car originally.
  14. Jim: You asked the initial question and received nearly 25 responses up to this point. If you feel that you have been mistreated or misunderstood, you have the capability to delete the OP and all the comments attached. It all goes away for ever and you can get back to your life.
  15. The ebay auction has closed. Sold for $5,400. but I thought it was an interesting, unique and authentic car that might dredge up some memories and comments. The seller's description is a yard long and he included a lot more pictures. https://www.ebay.com/itm/145618787873?itmmeta=01HWPPQHHC1DQ71CSPMCZHH122&hash=item21e78e5e21:g:tpsAAOSwr2Zl0TMI&itmprp=enc%3AAQAJAAAA8KF43P2POhnyqYSnd%2B%2FdQ%2Fa4kdyicMlcnagxRaBPqkPeudeGyBSsEiJ97Nh%2FB8HgTpu5jODiuo%2BdW8sEFKgkrSg7Sih6LgKS3j6r616a6wWYFLAKL%2FD95H5EkMPKu5lwLqxq9zlO2hK5OP9eSH9J0%2B7InBeVcw9w0i5kLaaf15bhgoZw1ai6VmsFa%2B7J%2Fj9qeuZFgTRBfSF1Xo0WUOfel6rb8kOGWkUY841y88e6hLWdpdM%2BsgpQY0hG2AebLWccaNYoHCWwjRH2cNMbPZH2tvqwrtwGX6sJHAln%2Bq5uNF3cz8hoZniIKgENMoZSvnXE0g%3D%3D|tkp%3ABk9SR-CY3tblYw Some of the fleet were used as military police cars.
  16. An interesting and creative choice...Americans call that fabric (material) "burlap". Same thing. Having been in the 'antiques' business for a number of years, I found and have used a faux distressed leather material (such as below) on furniture and in a few old cars. It has the appearance of old, worn leather and holds up well to normal use. Its available on Amazon as well as from other sources from about US$10.00/yard x 54 inches wide and on up, in a variety of colors and patterns. It might be a suggestion for your next project or for others looking to maintain an original, weathered appearance.

  17. You guys are "all-right". Having loads of fun and saving $$ while you're at it. What happens when you purchase a new part? Do you "antique" it before installing? P.S. re: Thermette Nothing like a hot toddy* along the way on a brisk day of touring! *Classic Hot Toddy Recipe — Warm up with this classic hot toddy cocktail recipe! Hot toddies are easy to make. You'll just need hot water, whiskey, honey, and lemon.
  18. John, thanks for your reply and the attached link. I particularly liked the old Dodge among the other pictures in he assortment. That's my kind of car.
  19. Can anyone identify the license plate revealing the location of this '26 - '27 Model T right hand drive? It looks like it has operational right side doors but, with the stuff packed on the running board, the occupants would either have to climb over the side or use the left side doors.
  20. Looking forward to your next project. Here are some ideas and incentives... Custom Low rider V-8
  21. If it were a '57, I think the price would be somewhat higher. I had a friend who replaced the front clip with one from a '57 and it improved the appearance as well as the sales value.
  22. It's got "possibilities" and it's thousands cheaper than a 3-window Ford.
