[Max Power]

Thought we might have a series of what is its over the festive period, please feel free to contribute another once the existing one is solved :ho2

Anyway to start us off

What is it ?

:deer Mods feel free to move to a more appropriate catagory :deer

 

[Tom K]

Looks like a Peavey for pulling large timbers into position.

 

[toolsntat]

Could be a ratcheting wire stretcher for doing fencing etc....

Andy

 

[Max Power]

Andy your nowhere close , Tommo your in the right direction but it has a specific woodwork use :wink:

 

[toolsntat]

If I'm allowed a second shot :wink: then how about a spoke dog for wheel making?

Andy

 

[Tom K]

Yeah a spoke dog and I reckon it was made by the Butler Company (hammer)

 

[Max Power]

Andy if it was'nt the season of goodwill to all men I would be cursing you for getting it so quickly
well done =D>
and a point to you as well Tom =D>

(I use a spoke dog to pull the spokes into position to allow the tenons on the ends of them to enter the mortices in the wheel rim)

Now please put something else up chaps :mrgreen:

 

[toolsntat]

Sorry Alan :lol:
We should have guessed from this thread :wink: good-for-another-114yrs-t56908.html
Anyway here's one.........
Gotta go offline so don,t wait for confirmation before posting other puzzlers folks 8) 8)

(The one under the triple cut shears )

 

[Max Power]

Ooh I reckon this one might run a while, Im guessing the cauldron bit on the end is to hold a molten liquid (glue or pitch :? ) and the section behind with the clamp is to place hot coals in to keep said liquid molten and the long section is a handle to enable pouring :?

 

[studders]

A Cocoa warmer?

 

[toolsntat]

The cauldron bit on the end is to hold a molten liquid and the section behind is for said liquid and the long section is a handle :wink:
So you are in the zone Alan 8)

 

[knappers]

I am more intrigued by the four bladed shears above to be honest.

Si.

 

[Racers]

Lead ladle for bullets/balls?

Si.

Yeah quite a talking point when I do the shows :lol:
When fully open they cut 3 times on closing :shock:
Mind you I tried em on me hedge and can't say I was impressed :roll:

Lead ladle for bullets/balls?

Pete

Right material , wrong product (unless you have a cannon :shock: :lol: )

Andy

 

[Hitch]

Is it for leading in railings, rails etc.....

 

[toolsntat]

Is it for leading in railings, rails etc.....

Alas not :wink:

Bit of a clue for y'all....

It melts the end product and makes the end product in this one apparatus 8)

Andy

 

[RogerS]

making sash weights? or weights of some description?

What I thought was the remains of a hand guard is in fact a hinged semi-circle with a thumbscrew. Releasing this allows the top half of the 'receptacle' to hinge upwards (with, I'm guessing a gap to swing up and over the spout from the molten-lead-holder). Looks to be some raised lettering in the top hinged half which suggests important to stamp something into the cooled lead object.

 

[toolsntat]

Your right about the top section being hinged Roger but not for weights.

Last clue, the handle ends up as part of the product :wink:

(hammer) (hammer) (hammer) (hammer)

Andy

 

[RogerS]

It's a mallet with a lead head. Used for bashing copper sheeting

 

[toolsntat]

Yes , you melt the lead (or used head) in the bowl and then tilt it back so the new head forms around the tube shaft.
The shaft has been crimped at the end to stop the head moving and seal the tube :idea:

Cheers
Andy
