What is it for?

Is it for cleaning an Electric Shaver?

Well done Cathy you got it straight away, the brush is for cleaning the circular object is for sharpening the blades.....
Now we need another object!

What can you tell me about this?

It's big Gloria and it looks as though it might be of volcanic origin.....

You’re on the right track Stanley.

An erratic, a boulder carried by a glacier during the ice ages and now far from its former home. In the UK they usually get carried from the north to south and wet to east. Often seen on beaches on our east coast but can be found anywhere. There's one sitting on a rock shelf at Porthleven on the south coast of Cornwall, even though the glaciers didn't travel that far south. However when the glaciers started receding, each summer the meltwaters formed raging torrents that could carry even boulder like that further south than the glacier had reached.

However if Stanley is on the right track it could be a massive lump of lava from a volcanic eruption!

You've just been away haven't you Gloria.....

Yes we have Stanley . Clue……we have been across the Atlantic, no more clues for now.

On the beach in Barbados, I believe it's called Mushroom Rock.

Damn! I was just going to guess Caribbean but I reckon Kev has nailed it! Well done....

Spot on Kev, well done.

What is it?

A transfer punch?

Exactly Gloria, you went straight to it.
I shall have to find another one......

What are they?

Adjustable reamers?

Sorry Gloria! Wrong tool.

Given up?

Are they adjustable mandrels for your lathe?

Exactly right Kev. You lot know enough about tools now to start thinking about starting engine building!
We need another object. I shall have a think.....



Emma, Robert Aram's dog in the engine house at Bancroft in 1977. Question is, does anyone know what the waste paper bin up against the wall started out as originally?

Guessing……an old coal shuttle.

Sorry Gloria but no.
