Framing Hammer

New hammers from Estwing Mfg. Co. feature a24oz. weight and 16 in. handle for rafter and framing work. The fully polished head and handle are forged in one-piece steel while the nylon vinyl deep cushion handle is baked and bonded to "I" beam shank. The hammers are available with smooth or milled faces.
A New View For Faucets
AquaStream washerless faucets are now available in Thermoformed packaging. Designed to either stand, stack or hang, the see-through package reveals the complete faucet and all component parts while reportedly being tamper-proof and attractive.
All of the metal free faucets are said to feature no-tool installation. The underbodies are manufactured with Celcon, a self-lubricating plastic material that is corrosion free.
Pint Size Fun
The Kid-E-Kabin wooden playhouse for children comes in a kit from Handy Home Products.
Especially for children ages 3-l l, it is 60 in. wide, 48 in. deep and 54 in. high, can be used indoors or outdoors and reportedly weighs only 150 lbs. The structure is said to screw together quickly so it can be dismantled for moving from place to place. It comes in a natural finish, but should be painted or stained for outdoor use.
The cabin is said to have no sharp corners or edges. The half door and three windows with plastic grilles permit the children to be always in view.
British Bandsaw
The Forester Vertical Bandsaw from Britain, with a 36 in. diameter bandwheel and a 4 in. wide blade, reportedly can break up logs 18 in. in diameter. It also is said to be able to salvage small diameter logs into valuable sawed timber for posts and slats.
Power reportedly can be supplied by tractor power takeoff, flat-belt tractor pulley, V-belt from any independent power source or from the saw's own ll-kw electric motor. With the bolton rolling table, which reportedly needs no foundations, the unit becomes a complete sawmill. After use, the rolling table can be removed and the machine reverts to a table bandsaw.
A second bolton option, a power-roller feed, which also can be added or removed at any time, is said to be suitable when the equipment is used as a table bandsaw. The feed roller is spring-loaded to hold the lumber firmly against the roller-bed fence, while allowing for any unevenness in thickness.
The bandsaw measures 8.7' x 6.2' (electric) or 5.1 ' x 3.9' (power take off).
