Bluepoint is made by Snap On or same company makes both.  The Snap On being the premium line and Blue Point being a very good quality tool but more affordable.  Williams is another line by Snap On.  It is a bit better on some tools than Blue Point but not all.  Not sure on warranty for the other two tool makes but as you know Snap On has lifetime guarantee.
Imagine they do too.  Believe they both were acquistions along the way...

Finished Upstairs bath that is only 4 x 8.  By modern, upscale  standards not even a good size closet ??? The "vanity" is an old White sewing machine base that I bought for a dollar at auction, vessel sink is a copper planter purchased for a couple bucks.  The shelf over the toilet is the treadle part from another old sewing machine as is the towel rack.  Built -in cabinet was most likely an add on, possible from the 40's or 50's judging by the hardware.  Photos are mine.

Nice work.  I like the White sewing machine table serving as the washstand.  Did you fabricate the washbasin?  Interesting details and unique bit of wicker/cane work in cabinets.

Is the shelf made from the foot pedal/base of the sewing machine and the towel rack from the wheel that would be part of the foot pedal mechanism?

Yep, it was the treadle/foot pedal from a local sewing machine manufacturer(Stoltzfus, the most common Amish name there is). Wash basin was an old copper planter, only problem with it is due to being flat it does not fully drain.   If I ever run across something more suitable I may replace it.



The back splash was a marble shelf at one time.  I requisitioned it from an abandoned house in Eastern Shore, MD.   Mirror was also requisitioned (borrowed? stolen?) from an abandoned house in PA.    Pics of downstairs bath to come...Larry
