Re: How to fill joint gaps in Ash wood framing

I’ve liked marine goop, a flexible, tenacious sealant. I’ve done a half dozen woodies and other wood fr...

1926 ,27 headlight, complete for sale

Nice solid 1926 1927 style headlamp. Has a very nice brass, nickel plated bezel. I can see two very fine age cracks in the brass. After 100 years, that’s as bad as it will get, and easily restored if desired. The lens looks great as does the silver plated reflector. I’m not going to take it apart to...

Front lowering brackets, additional

Searching back in my memory on the pair of these I had years ago. I believe the original user just used regular stock perches and filled up the space with some steel tube. It looked chunky and lowered the wishbone , too. Anyway, I’m going to machine down a pair of perches, and thought perhaps buyers...

Craig, I was up to my elbows in them a couple years ago here. ( thanks mike !). There are at least two different types, one appears to be pretty common bearings and the other was a real wild style, something prehistoric looking. They WERE NOT interchangeable, and I had enough of the good modern look...
