Can anyone spot the difference?First picture:Second picture:Maybe little help for comparison:Well here is the story...Few months ago I got those red sheet metal shears for my birthday from my father. And then a memory came back in my head from 20 years ago... When I was about 8 years old I was spending a lot of my time watching my now late grandfather in his workshop and he had some large metal shears in his shop. I have found out that he had sold this shears and some other stuff after he had stroke and he couldn't work anymore. I said to myself I had to have them! I started to asking around to who did he sell them to and after few months of asking and searching I HAVE FOUND THEM!!!! And they are exactly the same as in my memory from 20 years ago! Now it is time to clean them and sharpen or replace shear blades. Those shears and all other tools, lathe and drilling machine ( http://weldingweb.com/vbb/showthread.php?t=33728 ) have great sentimental value for me and i ain't selling those stuff to nobody! I have yet to find some sheet metal roller that he had also in his workshop... no luck yet...One more picture:Damn... I have accidentally post this thread in Welding projects and pictures instead Machines, Tools & Cutting Methods so... my apologies!Last edited by T_Eclipse; 05-14-2011 at 01:39 PM.

Reply:That looks like a baby ironworker. Those old tools will last a couple life times. You don't see that kind of quality in tools today. They keep making thinner and lighter weight until they are considered throwaways. Congrats on finding your grandfathers shear.
Reply:One is red and one is rusty....zap!I am not completely insane..Some parts are missing Professional Driver on a closed course....Do not attempt.Just because I'm a dumbass don't mean that you can be too.So DON'T try any of this **** l do at home.
Reply:Good find. I hope you find the other tools that your grandfather had. And I hope that your kids will treasure them as much as you do.

Reply:T-Eclipse:Good for you. It's great to keep this sort of tools in the family.I now have serious tool envy over your mini iron worker.Do you have any idea who made it or where it was made?I wonder if anyone in North America ever made something like it years ago?Thanks for posting it and good luck on the roller.Glenn.Sign on East Texas payphone: Calls to God 40 cents......it's a local call...

Reply:I have just found similar shears from Canadian compay http://www.westwaymachinery.com/samp...universal.htmlAnd I think I got it! You probably mean those large shears are "baby" or "mini" ironworker because of this hydraulic ironworker.
Reply:No,the iron worker comment is for your grandfathers tool. you have an angle iron cutter and a nibbler it looks like. Look at the side and the top. |
