I've watched this a couple times ... all I can think of is Acting Director of S.H.I.E.L.D. Mac's Shotgun-Axe. (nice restoration as always!)

Only $4.10 new! (According to Pinterist) That's without the drill bits.

I was sitting here and thought I'd watch some of the videos that I've already watch...no, no life...and realized "FINE! We get the hint...where can we buy you pin-stripping stuff?" Make an Amazon wish list or something, already. ;-)

Yes, this is the upgraded sexier version for sure. Some were attached to forges as well.

The bronze chain is what I had in stock. I should fine a smaller brass one though.

Good stuff!

+1 for the japanning on this one. Very nice.

THIS! This must be a thing.

And, in a very amusing synchronicity, one of the sellers I follow on eBay recently listed this beast: https://www.ebay.com/itm/Stewart-Handy-Worker-machinist-vise-drill-anvil-collectible-blacksmith-tool-/383712023203. It's like this one except bigger and with even more stuff, including three-speed gearing for the drill bit, and separate pipe jaws for the vise. What I find fascinating is that this implies there were at least two companies making these!

FREEBIRD! Loved that. My only question for today, is that since you developed your own technique of Japanning, should this new finish not be hereto referred to as “Saskatooning?”

That’s pretty nifty. Too bad you can’t put one of those electromagnets on the back of the drill plate to hold the steel on there firmly, kinda like some matching tables. Well done on the restoration, though I have to ask. Why use the over-sized chain? Why not something similar to what was on it?
