Here are photos of the Pat. Pend. TT. It isn't the early one and is almost identical to the one I'm using for the challenge. I was able to fluff it up into a collection tool. :)
After 2.5hrs of cleaning and tuning. :ahhh

Interesting, they switched the serrated blade for a saw early on, I was hoping you would have been able to experience the blade

Today's only real use was using the scribe/awl widening a hole in the wall to fit a wall hook\mount for the vacuum trying to fit the included anchors. Which didn't work; so I moved up about an inch and using the "egg-beater" Miller's Falls drilled the first hole with a smaller bit, just smaller than the screw itself. Then switched to the electric 5/8 Hitachi to put in the screws.  Surprisingly, it holds on strong without the anchors.




I've really got to get a cordless drill and/or driver of my own. The Millers Falls is "cordless" but sometimes, muscle power alone isn't enough for some materials; or driving screws.  Luckily, Lowe's selling off the display models for near nothing is just one month around the corner.  That's how I got the Hitachi last year; which was $70 for under $30. Just make sure to ask the associate in tools to look for the packaging, which contains all accessories (in my case, the chuck key and an additional pistol grip/depth gauge (two total; when it normally only comes with one), which I don't often use), manuals, and the case. While sold as-is-and tool only, they almost always have the packaging for the tool in the storage above the tool displays and will get it for you if you ask.

Spent the day doing nothing of any importance. My ruptured Achilles tendon is swollen a bit, which means mandatory rest.  :ahhh

The ToughTool has been keeping me company.

Day 10
The spring clip on my 3blade Barlow money clip worked its way loose and popped off. I use the screwdriver to hold it open and get back into position.
My money clip is back in action.

( sorry I didn't think to take a picture while it was still in two pieces)

Poncho,  Great to see you pop in.  It is awesome to have all you guys folling us here.  Still not up to snuff and another long day on the road. 
Day 10
Mostly just along for the ride.  To bad it's 30 minutes through the mountain pass and 6 hours flat dry desert the rest of the way.

Didn't use a thing on it;  These sweatpants don't have pockets, and thus the only pocket I had was the chest pocket on my T-Shirt; and thus I had to carry something light, a Vic Bantam. I only used each tool once there; the blade to cut a zip tie; and the can opener on a rather large can of green beans because it was what was handy.  Would have used the Tough Tool if I'd not forgotten that it was in the same place where I took the photo yesterday.

Today, I started a restoration project on my great-grandfather's old coon hunting light, a 1930s Just-Rite carbide miner's cap light.   Some of the missing pieces are ridiculously expensive for what they are (we're talking $20-30 for tiny pieces); so it will likely be a cosmetic only restoration. I've already replaced one seal with an o-ring and the felts that go in a part of it I can make.   I'll probably just clean out the calcium buildup from the inside and polish the brass.  The body looks banged up and to the point it probably won't hold gas.

Great pics today guys :like:

Really like that old Miners lamp as well, Cody :o I know that coon hunters still used these up into the late 80's before starting to use battery lights around here :cheers:

My Granny use to tell me how they made fire works for the 4th of July out of carbide when she was young :ahhh I am sure they got quite a boom out of them :o :D Coal mining use to be big business around here but that has all died out and all the mines shut down :-\ last ones I remember shut down in the 80's as well :-[ Great to see that the light is in such great looking shape even if it isn't gonna be made to work again because of the expense :salute: :like:
