MYSTERY OBJECTS

[Big Kev]

Are they decorative or functional?

[plaques]

Functional. Look back at the introduction to the object. Hidden clue.

[PanBiker]

I reckon it's an LED light cluster.

[plaques]

I reckon it's an LED light cluster. Ian has it. Out of a Poundland type torch. The batteries cost nearly as much as the torch. The down side is that they tend to fall apart too easily. Solder wires onto the terminals and fasten it to a stick and you've got yourself a handy long distance lamp. I use them when welding to give a bit more back light.

[Stanley]

Of course it is..... Next one?

[Stanley]

Is it a kitchen tool for cutting a lid on a boiled egg?

[Tizer]

We've all at some time said `Get a grip!'. Well that's it, the proverbial `grip'.

[Big Kev]

Stanley is straight in with the right answer

[Stanley]

Oh dear.... Sorry about that, it was a guess, I've never seen one. so now I get to set another?

[Stanley]

What is it?

[PanBiker]

Spooky, I have recently seen one of those advertised on Ebay, I will let it run...

[Stanley]

Good lad Ian....

[Steeplejerk]

Is it for the bits from a cylinder head ??

[Big Kev]

I'm with Steeplejerk

[plaques]

Following Steeplejerks suggestion , something I would never had thought of. When I stripped my old Jaguars cam shafts off the valve clearances were set by shims inside the valve caps. this looks like a nice storage system to keep all the parts in their respective places. So I go along with Steeplejerk.

[Stanley]

That's exactly right and yes, if they had been about when I was reconditioning engines I would have used one.
Next for shaving?

[Stanley]

What are they?

[Gloria]

Scrapers?

[Big Kev]

I'm with Gloria, bearing scrapers.

[Stanley]

Too easy wasn't it....



Try this one, what trade used this tool?

[Steeplejerk]

Looks like a billhook with pruners

[Stanley]

It does doesn't it but what trade used it?

[Big Kev]

Thatching?

[Steeplejerk]

I'll go for hedge layer
