![]() 3357 forum posts 112 photos 10 articles | Hi There I need a decent photograph of a Wolf Cub drill. Just the drill on its own with no accessories. It must be a photo taken by you rather than copied from the Internet. The article supplied has a photo copied from the Internet which is not allowed. regards David

Two weeks ago David I could have given you one (pardon the expression). I won mine in a raffle at work in 1954 when I was an apprentice and it hadn't been used for over 50 years. It was set up on the authentic saw table and that was never used either. I eventually dismantled mine to gain access to the chuck and gears. None of the above helps you I know but it's just nice to resurrect old memories. Len. P. |

883 forum posts 11 photos | Hi David Pretty sure that we've got an old, battered and decreit specimen of one of these lurking at the back of the tool cupboard at the local (amateur) theatre. I'll be working there on Friday and can photograph it then for you if that's early enough? It probably won't look too pretty but at least it was functional the last time I tried it about 2 years ago. It almost certainly wouldn't pass any safety inspections either with the mains cord. Keith |

2032 forum posts 41 photos | .Sorry .. mis read the title... in the UK the Wolf Cubs have being called The Cubs ( droping the Wolf bit) since about 1976 ( along with the caps from uniform).. but the best place to look for archive or other activity photos would be through WWW.scoutbase.co.uk... they will also be able to advise on the use of images of young people.. regards Jason Edited By jason udall on 12/03/2013 13:17:46 |

883 forum posts 11 photos | OK David, I'll get the pictures done this week and be in touch. Fortunately it's a production week at the theatre so not much work for scene builders to do on Friday - unlike the last 7 weeks! Keith |

324 forum posts 63 photos | David, Is this the model you're looking for? Bought about 1950 to construct an angle iron and asbestos sheet garage for Dad's first post war car! Still a good runner (drill not the car) with an allen key locking 1/4" chuck, it usually has a flap wheel fitted and is at the ready. Bob D

Don't know if its a Wolf, but I think the museum has a larger drill than yours. Ian S C |

... with an allen key locking 1/4" chuck ... Bob D . Bob, Those are useful little chucks: I have a similar one [but the sleeve is Aluminium Alloy] mounted on a handle ... it's great for holding small components for filing, etc. MichaelG.

![]() 3988 forum posts 1799 photos | Hi, the advert shown below from a local iornmongers Autumn 1958 catalogue (sadly no longer trading) is of a Wolf Cub which should confirm Bob D photos Looks a bargain at the price, but to put it in prospective, this was almost as much as my farther earned in a basic week at that time. Regards Nick. |

324 forum posts 63 photos | Neil, What do they mean when they say "converted to electric"? I thought they started life as electric drills. I think I prefer the electric cornet, although I don't think it will play mp3s!

12 forum posts | This post has awakened a few memories! A Wolf Cub was my first "machine" tool, purchased for £4.19.6 with money earnt working as a temporary postman over Christmas of 1947. Parts were later added to turn it into a wood turning lathe and drill press. I was so proud! |

![]() 4318 forum posts 291 photos 1 articles | My Dad has some Black and Decker accessories allowing their pistol drills to be used as a lathe, very similar to the Wolf Cub set. He uses it for wood turning too large for his unimat, such as the gun barrels on his Warspite. Neil
