I'm not a plumber, therefore I have no pipe threading tools. Needed to clean up some buggered threads on two nipples on the boiler. Went to our local ReStore and bought this Armstrong for $3.00! Wire brush and some WD and it was back in service. Did the threads perfect. I love old tools!

That faucet is there only to check the threads. Finished the welding on the smokestack also.

Wow, a Bridgeport thread cutter. That's high quality stuff right there. The best of the best

Started the live edge counter top for the kitchen . I must have mislabeled these I thought I pulled hickory but it’s curvy maple . Didn’t notice the waves till I planed down the one board . Oh well it’ll be real nice I was going to use this wood for a table but I have plenty more
