that huge drill ! there is one on a property i shoot on. still works aswell.. well its a whole blacksmith shop, still working bellows aswell! i will get a video up soon
Man I hate you. lol I can't finde a good post vise any were that I can afford. What size is that anvil by the way? Looks a lot like my 102 lb arm & hammer. they are great anvils.
great fine,those tongs with the flat bar stock welded on them were used for sheet metal work ,metal roofing ,and those large tongs with the d handles are for standing seam roofing ,bending flangesup and closeing clips for that type of roofing and if those say pexto on them you have great fine there tools go back to the 1800's.

way to go on the mother load there Trent. It's amazing whats out there to just be found and cleaned up and a lot of times still usable. I love and often times prefer older tools for certain jobs anyway because of the history and because sometimes they just work better.
@ :7:24 is a boiler sheetmeatal crimper they used to use for covers over the boiler on steam loco's after it was heated up it would be drilled and riveted. very old tool =) great find!
Most that stuff you have is old railroad stuff...from the old shops...some for farming... what I see is from.. before 1950's..... Great Score!!!! ( all mostly railraod tools) Back then they had to "make" tools to fix steam loco's and other stuff.......
thats an amazing deal i just got into blacksmithing its something i really love and want to pursue your videos actually help me find more of a love for the art of blacksmithing thanks for you videos.
next to the hatchet, and the odd tongs you show at 7:02....what is that device? it looks like a tensioning tool of some kind. I have one I bought with a box of similr items to you haul only smaller. in it was one of those and I have yet to figure out what it is
I'd say the anvil , firepot, and matched hardees are the best of your finds. I'm surprised there wasn't a swage block in the bunch. Definitely a good haul. Could the weight at 5:07 also be from a steelyard balance. Looks like the the tools at 7:06 started life as nail pullers? The adze is a "poll" adze. the metal opposite the blade is the poll. an adze is a finishing tool used to take off marks left by the broad axe. A shipwrights adze and the gutter adze are the rare ones.
Going to have to argue the poll adze, as almost all adze had a striking surface opposite the blade. "Foot Adze" is the appropriate term for that tool, at least in the majority of texts that Ive read and the older wood workers. Im also dead certain of the weights origin as well, having a complete one in a friends collection. The nail pullers are hand forged and I stand beside the fact I have no clue. Mystery Tools Go!
This "alligator" wrench - the type is so-called because of its shape, like an "alligator's mouth" - was used to turn iron and steel pipes and rods which could not be turned with a regular wrench. A pipefitter often used such a tool in fitting or removing air- and water-piping from a locomotive.
All I can say is WOW!, what a treasure. Those odd looking tongs with the flat pieces welded on them and that one with the long flat head make me think of tools for handling and bending straight lines in sheet metal.
Hey Trent that Barrel score you found check out my Guinness Storehouse and Brewery video around the 1:28 mark. Guiness has video of some coopers making barrels
The wrench that says "Seaboard" is called an Alligator Wrench. They were used for turning pipes and square stock. I think the "Seaboard" refers to the maker, Seaboard Steel in France. Could be wrong, railroads had them.
Nice haul. Serious envy on this end. I believe the tool identified as a peavey is actually a cant hook. They're very similar. The last piece bent piece is sometimes called an inshave.

The tongs at 7.06 reminds me of a tool we used to fold roof copper. Lots of nailing on roofs as well. Just a thought. Love your videos.

I suspected that it was plunder from a railroad shop as cochran had a rail repair station at the time. Thanks for the tip!

nope your right, the peavy is the COMBINATION of the cant hook and the log spike. Good catch!
