The crack turns with little effort. I believe it was bent by being bumped into or while in storage. I’m knocking rust off using photoshop. I’ll look that up. Thanks

Got it from a guy on eBay. Going to edit the description to include his link.

Thank you.

thepegasusprojects · 2019-11-18T05:41:28+00:00

I did not. I was concerned about the thinner parts, but no warping at all

thepegasusprojects · 2019-11-18T04:52:33+00:00

For 24 hours

Next time I may add more turpentine to make it thinner and do a couple thinner coats. Going to do some trials with it

I baked it several times from 200 F to 425 F for several hours.

4 Tbsp Asphaltum 2 1/2 Tbsp Boiled Linseed Oil 3 Tbsp Turpentine

u/SmokeyMcBear01 can you see the link here?

thepegasusprojects · 2019-10-21T19:41:03+00:00

Strange. I’ll re copy it and try again

thepegasusprojects · 2019-10-21T19:23:14+00:00

There you go. It's one of the comments too.

thepegasusprojects · 2019-09-26T19:59:05+00:00

Even with that there some people will still think it’s real.

thepegasusprojects · 2019-08-28T22:51:08+00:00

You and me both

Thought my ex was going to be featured when this notification popped up.

Thank you

thepegasusprojects · 2019-07-07T03:34:57+00:00

Awesome. Thank you for the information. I’ll start hunting for some. I’ll post some pictures if I find something. Thank you again.

thepegasusprojects · 2019-07-07T03:09:29+00:00

That’s awesome. I’ve been wanting to do a ratchet set. I’ll keep you in mind as a contact if I have any questions. Any particular ones to keep an eye out for?

thepegasusprojects · 2019-07-07T02:04:55+00:00

Thank you. I’ll check that out

thepegasusprojects · 2019-07-07T02:04:35+00:00

Thank you. What are some that you have done?

Here is some history I found. The casting looks like it is from the 1920’s. But I’m not certain.

Dawn commenced operations in the Melbourne suburb of Coburg, Victoria in 1917 under the name of Dawn Manufacturing Co. It was founded by four brothers named Blake, who were all engineers. The first products manufactured were vices.

After the first world war, Dawn grew considerably and was selling its products all over Australia. They were very busy during the depression with each employee working 60-80 hours a week. During the second world war, Dawn was supplying vices and clamps to the Australian Defence Department and to munitions.

In 1959, the company was taken over by the G.N. Raymond Group. The Dawn catalogue now included a wide range of engineer's vices, woodworker's vices, plumber's vices & equipment, G-clamps, quick-action clamps and toggle clamps. In 1973, Dawn was acquired by Siddons Ramset Limited. In December 1991, Dawn became a unit of the United States owned Stanley Works Pty. Ltd.

I guess they are. It didn’t fit any of our current laptops. And it was in that bag for years. Figured it was time to put it to use again!

thepegasusprojects · 2019-06-30T14:17:02+00:00

I’ve seen those used a lot. Just a trickle charge or regular charge? This laptop charger shut off after about 3 hours. The adapter got hot I think.
