Re: MYSTERY OBJECTS
Well a promising start and then a deathly hush. Which island and what's going on?

Re: MYSTERY OBJECTS
I know the photo has been on here before but my memory isn't good these days. Is it Eigg? The rock could be for use as rock armour to protect beaches from erosion. Or is it the rock quarried on Ailsa Craig for making curling stones?

Re: MYSTERY OBJECTS
You got it with your second stab Peter. Raw material for making curling stones being shipped off Ailsa Craig.
Next object?

It's a small weaving tool which can be used to weave narrow strips or for darning.

It’s a glove which can be used on either hand.

Re: MYSTERY OBJECTS
Yes Gloria but what is it specifically designed for? It has a purpose.

Re: MYSTERY OBJECTS
You're so close Tom I have to give it to you. That's the whole point of the gloves, when the palm wears out from husking corn, you reverse hands and off you go again with new palms. That's what they are, Corn Husking Gloves.
Not a lot of call for them here.....
Next object?

Re: MYSTERY OBJECTS
Not quite Tom but once again I have to give it to you. I suspect you're thinking about a glass cutter. It isn't that. It's an industrial diamond set in the end of a piece of half inch steel and it's used for dressing grinding wheels to get a flat surface.....
Next one for shaving?

Re: MYSTERY OBJECTS
I've come across grinding wheel dressers before but never one like that,the ones I've seen are with 3 toothed wheels on the end of a bar that flatten the face on the grinding wheel.

Re: MYSTERY OBJECTS
They're the normal commercial ones but these are a lot more efficient and in my experience cheaper because one of these will outlast several of the others with the star wheels.
Give us the next object!

Re: MYSTERY OBJECTS
They're correcting a chimney that is leaning by cutting out brickwork to encourage it back to perpendicular and then replacing the bricks they have taken out with new tight brickwork.
