MYSTERY OBJECTS

[Stanley]

It was upstairs....

[Wendyf]

Is it a bed spanner?

[Stanley]

Yes Wendy, for the old iron bed frames with a spring base. It fitted the nuts and the tapered leg was for lining the bolt holes up. Every mattress had one.
Now we need another object!

[Stanley]

What is it?

[Big Kev]

Is it 'animal' related?

[Stanley]

Oh Dear...... YES. That's it's usual use.....

[Big Kev]

I think I know, I'll leave it and see if anyone else knows.

[Big Kev]

Is it a pithing tool? Used to destroy brain tissue after an animal is shot with a captive bolt?

[Stanley]

It is Kev. So obscure that I thought I might be on a winner.....

We need another object..... Try this one.



What is it?

[Stanley]

No Takers?

[Big Kev]

For splitting wood?

[Stanley]

Yes Kev.... Can you give me the name?

[Big Kev]

Froe axe?

[Stanley]

That's right Kev. Now I shall have to find another object...... I shall return!

[Stanley]

What are they?

[Stanley]

No takers?

[Wendyf]

Leather working tools?

[Tripps]

To carve ivory?

[Big Kev]

Jeweller's stone setting tools?

[Stanley]

Dead right Kev. I shall continue to search for one that will defeat you and your little helpers!


What is it?

[Stanley]

No takers?

[PanBiker]

Stone Dressing Chisel.

[Stanley]

Sory Ian but no. You're right in thinking it has a specialised purpose.

[Tizer]

For caulking between timber planks to waterproof sides of wooden boats?

[Stanley]

Sorry Peter but no. However, you are getting very close. Think of the exact reversal of caulking.......
