[TheForge] Ratchet & pulley rivet forge

[Rick Korinek]

Mike,
What I have found for chucks is a 3-jaw hand chuck with a 1/2" shank.  These
would be used for bits smaller diameters than 1/2".  This chuck is good for
the post drill and is also good for holding a bit/tool/file for hand work.
I think I found mine at a flea market or rummage sale.  Good luck,
-Rick

I swapped off an Acadia single-banger today for a Wisconsin VF4 and
got a nice post drill and a cute litle forge thrown in.  It has a lever
and ratchet to drive the little blower.  But I don't think all the
parts are there.  It doesn't quite make sense as it is.

If you've seen one of these complete I'd be happy to have a
description of how it was set up.

The post drill is pretty nice, has ball thrust bearings.  One part is
broken but it will just reduce the max travel of the drill bit by an
inch.   Anbody know if you can buy a Jacobs chuch with a straight 1/2"
shank?  Or a 1/2" rod with a Jacobs taper on one end?  This has just a
set screw attachment for an old pre-Jacobs post drill chuck.
