How old do you think this drill press is?

I got given this a while ago, dusted it off and cleaned up a lot of the rust

I already have a drill press so this is really of no use to me, and I was wondering what we think its age was and how much it would go for.

I think the previous owner was a carpenter, his house got crushed by a tree and then sold to a kiwi bloke who fixed up the house and is almost done with it now, he was cleaning out the old mans stuff and gave me this with it.

I think it’s about 50 years old or like circa 1980s?

Thank you for the help!

Is my tire flat

I think it just needs a little air

/s

Edit: student pilot was doing some practice landings, and it seems he either landed with some brake pressure, or rode the brakes hard while landing. The other main tire and nose tire look pristine.

Check out this haul!!

Got all of these woodworking tools and some mechanics tools for just 10 BUCKS! AUD!!

I’m pretty stoked about all of this, especially the planes and files as I’ve been wanting some for a while.

There are a few tools here that I don’t know what they are or what they’re used for, if anybody knows, please share your wisdom, knowledge or experience with another! Specifically from pictures 3 onwards.

I’m not sure what those clamps are called or what they’re used for.

I think pic 6 is some kind of drawing tool?

And I think pic 7 is a plumb bob but correct me if I’m wrong

Two Stanley Hand planes as well! Bailey No. 3 and 4.

I’ve put the No3 plane infront of the drill and press to gauge the size of it.

My mums and my TV has lines on it

Hi there, as written in the title, my tv has some weird issue with it. We’ve had this tv for the past 15 years and it’s given us countless loyal hours of screen time and I’m loyal to this tv.

Does anybody know if there is some way to fix this? Or what the issue could be?

The model no. Serial no, and product no. Are as follows:

Product code: 42LW5-TA.AAUYLH model No. 42LW5700-TA Serial No. 112KCJZ0N060

Thank you, for taking the time to read and help out. Any advice is appreciated. I’d really like to try and fix this.

Found this life-hack. Is it safe to do this before my 1,000-mile road trip?

It says 'no injury to tyres' and that 'a boy can re-groove perfect non-skids at first attempt,' so I figure I'm good to go, right?"

Could I get Help with understanding rivet sizing please?

TLDR: I don’t understand rivet measuring, I have 12mm thickness in total..ish. That’s 10mm plywood+ x2 .55mm sheets of metal either side of the plywood. How do I select the correct rivets and why that specific type? Thank you!!

Hi everyone, I wasn’t confident on where I should make a post like this, but I feel like I’m at a loss in terms of research (I’ve also tried calling shops for help and they helped out a lot but I don’t understand why I need to choose from all the explicit prices., Everything I read and watch isn’t exactly helping me understand. I’ve been trying to wrap my head around how to choose the correct rivet size and why certain aspects of rivets are important depending on the situation.

I’ve used rivets before, I’ve just never had to consider the amount of uses they have and all the different applications they’re used in. (I’ve never had to purchase them for my own use)

I’m making a sandblasting cabinet out of 10mm plywood and I’d like to line the inside and out with .55mm thick sheetmetal. Lining the inside so the abrasive doesn’t chew the box away, and lining the outside for aesthetic purposes.

I’d really like to use rivets as I believe it will really make the project come together. However, I don’t know exactly what rivets to get.

From what I understand, they work within a particular range, you have to have an appropriate diameter, and you have to drill like exactly .1mm greater than the rivet? How do you choose your diameter? Why is it so important? For a project like this I would believe that diameter is unnecessary, no?

From the little I do know, rivets do not work in wood, but I would think that with two pieces of sheetmetal either side of the wood, the rivet would work no?

Can anybody lend a hand and help a kid out pleases and thank you’s to all that take the time to read and share their wisdom.

Knowledge is power and we shouldn’t let knowledge die with generations passing.

Thank you!
