Default something new to my garage

It'* a bit... old.... It runs though. I need to get some oil for the cutting stone and I'm in business!

And what good is it to do the valves if you can't do the heads?

WE NEED BETTER PICS!!

I'm jealous, man. I love old tools. Wish I could afford to buy more pieces like that.
