Too busy avoiding it! It looks like one of those brushes that come with an electric razor. The other bit looks like it's for unlocking car wheel nuts.

You are so close Tiz! You have the brush right, have a stab at the other gizmo.... (It's smaller than you think and made of plastic....)

Have we had this before, Stanley?
I seem to remember it. (I think I commented that it needed a good clean)
Yes, something to do with hair clippers/razor/ear hair trimmer...

I have to give it to you Maz. It's a handy little sharpener for the circular blades in my Philips electric razor.
Try this one

Have a look at Shed Matters..... (And if anyone's mind was working on naughty lines, shame on you!)
Mind you, the same thought occurred to me.... A possible cottage industry?

Quirky answers, nice to know you are all taking notice. It's Jack's Xmas present from Ann who used to live on the opposite side of the street. She loves Jack to bits and never forgets him. Susan opened it yesterday and all the dogs had a share...

She has their full attention....

Is this where all those migrants are getting into the country and taking our jobs? Quick, remove the ladder and put the lid on it! :wink:

I'm going to give it to Gloria because I can't see anyone getting closer than that, it is a forgotten corner. It's the overflow cill to the culvert that carries Calf Hall Beck under Calf Hall Shed in Barlick. Have a look at Forgotten Corners this morning where I'll show how it evolved over the years.
Try this one, note that Jack had no grey hairs then.... Can anyone say what's special about it?

Not a clue, but it looks as though it sits up off the floor, and the "straps" look very recycled. That's the best I can do.

Something very heavy. Possibly a ten year supply of Christmas puddings or Ex-WD, WW1 surplus horse shoes. I don't think it is anything from Mick and the NE mafia or it would have been in a violin case. So in all likelihood its a part for your vertical miller?
