>It looks like a Jr. Jack but is made by Sheldon (sp) and has a #14 on it. Is this worth $12 and a few hrs clean-up?

>Sheldon's were mostly marked as far as I know. I havn't had much luck with them as far as workers. POS's IMHO. Does it have a cast yoke or split steel? Anymore info?

I am a carpenter by trade.Also a handyman/Jack -of-all-trades.I work around my neighborhood mostly helping people keep up their old houses.I have a fairly large woodworking shop in my house where I work with both hand and power tools. At the moment I'm focusing on Windsor chairs building.I will build most anything if needed. I'm always learning,adapting,changing trying to broaden my woodworking skills.I work mostly with hand tools in my shop but will use power if it is a better way to get the desired result. My wife,Donna,and I live in the woods of Maine with our dogs,cats,and birds. We have 5 grown kids and six grandchildren. Woodcentral has been central to my growth as a woodworker. I pass through this place every day.

>No pic. It was in a back corner of an antique store in Alamosa, CO. Just came across it passing through enroute to Taos for a weekend getaway.
