You can also buy silica gel kitty litter for pretty cheap and put it in an old nylon sock or jar. I've found wiping my tools down with jojoba oil after each use to be sufficient though.

I mentioned above that I use electrolysis, but I also use evapo rust. Evapo rust works pretty well, I really like it for lots of small parts. Its also is much more convenient and less hazard prone...

Another alternative anode is graphite rod. The build up it leaves behind seems to come off much easier than when I used rebar and and the rods don't need to be cleaned. You can buy graphite rod...

George was your reply meant for my thread http://www.sawmillcreek.org/showthread.php?170073-Leg-Vise-Roller-Guides ? It seems a little out of place here.

I recently completed my roubo(seen at http://www.sawmillcreek.org/showthread.php?124750-Show-us-your-Bench&p=1745971#post1745971 ). Overall I am really happy with the bench, but the leg vise was not...

Since this thread has been resurrected I'll add my roubo. The top is made from four 4x6x8' glued together. The legs are 6x6s and the stretchers are 4x4s. Everything is douglass fir except the leg...

I could do that instead. As I don't have much experience with a roubo style bench I was just going to follow the advice of Chris Schwarz and put my dog holes pretty close to the front. I believe he...

I’m just about to finish up my roubo style bench and would like to put some round dog holes along the front edge. My plan was to use a metal quick release vise as a tail vise, mount it flush with...

If you're looking for manuals or more information on your mitre box ToolTrip has some good information. The site works strangely so I can't link directly to the page but go to the "Stanley Tools"...

I forgot to mention that's a really good looking langdon. I've only ever seen stanley and some of the flimsier model langdons around here.

It could be it came without paint, but I've found a few examples now that look like they have a silver paint on them. Here's another stanley that looks like it has the paint:

I don't think its nickel plating because there isn't nickel plating anywhere else on the main body. From what little I've read about nickel plating the whole piece would have to be submersed and...

I'm in the process of restoring an old Stanley 358 miter box and was wondering if anyone knew what they used back then(or something that would match now) for the "silvery" paint on the back wall. ...
