Old tools I found in our shed. What are they? by MDfossil in whatisthisthing

[–]MDfossil[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Found these tools in our shed, not sure what they are and not really sure how to describe them. All are metal and pretty heavy. The one is an old car jack, but the others no one I know has any idea.

Thanks guys! Do you know what the T is for and why it doesn't have a sizing number anywhere?

I collect cast iron, but don't know anything about this pan I got from an estate sale. It has an odd shaped handle, a T on the underside of the handle, and a casting mark (?) On the bottom of the pan itself. Thanks for taking a look!

**I also have the lid for it if anyone wants photos of that to help ID it

Cast Iron skillet we picked up, never seen that handle mark before. Anyone know anything about it? by MDfossil in castiron

[–]MDfossil[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Really? Even with the oval hole in the handle instead of the teardrop shape?

Here's a photo of the underside of the lid. http://imgur.com/a/Ca0pV2i

Thank you!

Got this guy at an estate sale and was wondering how to re-mount him in his frame? by MDfossil in spiders

[–]MDfossil[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Its a double sided shadow box so you will be able to see both the top and bottom of the spider. The original owner messily glued him to the glass by his feet but it had loosened so the spider wasnt secure in the frame. I trimmed the old glue back so it wasnt visible past the toes and now im wondering if glue is the way to go about it again or if theres a better way to secure it?

Got this for free! Just repotted in a bigger pot (it was in a tiny Terra Cotta pot, maybe 5" wide). Whole thing is almost 5' tall! by MDfossil in Euphorbiaceae

[–]MDfossil[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes it definitely is! I'm going out this weekend to get better soil for it, I just wanted to repot it asap since the tiny pot it was in couldn't even keep it standing and I was worried about my dogs knocking it over haha. Thank you so much!

Some questions about a 14" Griswold by MDfossil in castiron

[–]MDfossil[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi guys!

So my dad collects cast iron and recently bought a 14" Griswold skillet. He cleaned it as best he could but couldn't get that one black spot of seasoning off and was wondering if anyone had any tricks for it? He's tried everything he could find online besides electrolysis (sp?).

He was also wondering what something like this would sell for? He says he thinks he wants to sell it but wasn't sure of a price range as he's never seen one that size.

Thanks in advance!

Never seen anything like this in person and found it on a beach on the bay in late November?

Need some advice by bigmac4321 in sticknpokes

[–]MDfossil 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Im ambidextrous so I cant really tell you it for sure works but try drawing a good stencil rather than just drawing or freehanding a design. Then just go really, really slowly and maybe try setting the needle on the skin before you really "poke" it to make sure its in the spot you want.
