Identification of woodworking clamps/machinery

[Lewbo]

Hi all wondered if anyone knows what this equipment is i inherited a lot of woodworking equipment from a professional woodworker and am yet to understand it all!

Many thanks

middle bottom looks like part of a small elu router table.

Edit. This is a picture of my small elu router table- looks pretty similar. May also feature on other sizes and possibly in dewalt stuff too.

1st pic are patterning punches, for adding dimples to surfaces, used by carvers etc (I think - I've only ever seen them used on metal work and pyrography)

2nd is mostly parts for router guides and bases as far as I can tell

3rd pic is a variety of different sharpening stones as far as I can tell. The little ones on the right look like profiled slip stones that are used on the inside of shaped blades like carving chisels or turning gouges to remove any burr. I'm not sure what the slightly U shaped one is, it could be a strop?

Last pic, I'll defer to Marcros, it's a detail from the middle of the 2nd pic. If he says he recognises it as part of a router table, I beleive him, I couldn't tell, myself.

All the best.

Nic.

The two black and orange plastic items in the second picture are Black and Decker clamps for holding work down on a Workmate or anything similar with a thinnish surface and suitable size holes. Squeeze the threaded part to adjust quickly then twist to tighten.

Hi

I think the punches in the top photo are used in leather work to apply decoration.

The second picture also shows a 'boa' strap wrench - the long black strap with a green plastic handle. These are useful for gripping and twisting smooth things like plated taps or stubborn jar lids. See here for current Axi description- the colour seems to have been changed to pink.

Thats very helpful thankyou so much for your help. Seems like there's a lot of aspects to woodwork!

Second picture also has a foot (human) with what looks like a full complement of toes :lol: :lol: :lol:

Sorry, couldn't resist it

Yep, and needs some steel toecaps to keep them in the woodwork shop !

It was his foot but he didn't use it as a rule. Top pic 3rd from left is a nail. Several hold downs in pic 2, bang in the middle is a Trend router fence, the two black metal rods at the bottom of the pic go with it.

 

[Lewbo]

Lol i have a lot of work afoot.

-That thing in the tiny box at the far right of picture 2 looks hand tool related to me but I cannot tell what it is from such a small picture.

-The two wheels on the upper far left side are called casters and used under furniture that has to be easy to move.

As marcros said 2 and 4 have parts for 2 Elu mini router tables, an Elu MOF 96 guide, 2 Elu tramel guides. They are parts from the "MOF 96 Router accessory Set"

 

[Lewbo]

thanks all at least I know what parts they are and am now realising that they are incomplete Im guessing the family of the previous owner probably took the actual ELU router and these are just the accessories left.
ive just got a couple more there are a few interesting looking whet stones the one in the box is almost transparent and there is a few that say japan that were wet in a jar?

 

[Graham Orm]

They all look fairly tired and worn. Not worth anyone buying, but if you know anyone who uses edge tools (blades) they would make a nice gift

Grounding punches, for carving.
