MYSTERY OBJECTS

[Stanley]

Nonsense Maz, your opinion is always valued.
David is getting close but I want a clearer definition. Here's a clue....

[Tizer]

Isn't that the adjustable bit that David mentioned?

[Stanley]

Yes, a different view. Come on, what is it?

[chinatyke]

Have we had this before? Was it something to do with an office partition?

[Tizer]

Or is it a bench stop of some kind, to stop a piece moving when you're planing it or similar? Fitted from under the bench top?

[Stanley]

Yes, it's an oldie and Tiz has got it. Fitted into a recess in the woodworking bench top it was flush with the surface but when the screw was turned the flap rose and it became a bench stop for planing. It replaced the simple board in a slot held by a wedge. This one is a new one.... What are they?

[LizG]

Little chocks?

[PanBiker]

Wedges for roof trusses?

[Gloria]

Carbide tips??

[Tizer]

Chaff?

[Stanley]

Nobody has it. Clue, look at the size.

[chinatyke]

Replacement cutter blades for some sort of knife?

[Tizer]

Hen's teeth?

[Gloria]

Haven't we had this one before, age is getting the better of me??

[Stanley]

I can't remember doing it before Gloria but my memory may be at fault. Anyway, it's gone on long enough. They are picture framer's brads, used to retain the glass, pic and backing in a wooden frame. Try this one....

[Cathy]

Is it one of those torches that you can drive a car over, and it won't damage it?

[Gloria]

Adjustable reamer??

[Whyperion]

Clutch centering tool (for a small car, etc)

[Stanley]

Sorry, nobody is anywhere near......

[Tizer]

Silencer for a hand gun?

[Cathy]

A dog whistle?

[Stanley]

Tiz is almost there. Not a silencer but gun related. [Quite a large one as it happens....]

[chinatyke]

Wild guess based on the clues: Part of a Bren Machine gun stand?

[Stanley]

Sorry China but no. I suspect it was originally used on a 2pdr anti tank gun or similar.You're in the right ball park!

[Gloria]

A sight for a gun of some description??
