Tool study #5: Millers Falls No.104 drill
A brief Millers Falls study of the No.104 “Buck Rogers” hand drill. This is a very aesthetically pleasing tool, but functionally it doesn’t work as well as some of their earlier models. http://workingbyhand.wordpress.com/2013/12/18/the-millers-falls-no-104-hand-drill/
Millers Falls "Buck Rogers" planes trade circular
This trade circular came from the Millers Falls catalog #49, printed in 1949. The insert was added at a late stage to advertise the MF planes 709 and 714, which weren’t added to the catalog until the next iteration of catalog 49 circa 1952. Incidentally, the planes had a list price of $8.50 and $9.00 respectively in the price sheet that accompanied the catalog.The real price of $8.50 is $81.00 in 2013 terms. If anyone would like a super high resolution image of this poster, pleas...
