Another tool ID needed V

[R.H.]

I posted a few more photos this morning:

Over the weekend I bought small piece of metal with some holes in it at the flea market and I'm not sure if it was made for a reason or if someone was just practicing with their drill. The guy who sold it to me said that he got it from a machinist. The block is 1.75"l x

1.125"w x .625"h and the holes are .25" deep. There is a photo of it at this link:

Anyone know why this might have been made?

#106 looks like a stitching tool used in leatherwork.

[Andy Dingley]

Not quite - if you look closely, those are chisel points on the teeth, not pinpoints. I think it's for tooling the surface of leather, not for marking stitches or for transferring through a paper pattern.

cutting what is not needed

I thought this was caused by inflation.

Thanks for the info.

I'm still looking into this one, but as you say, it does look a little wide for a marking tool.

Glad that you liked the site. You're right, there is no way to move forward, but they can go to the home page via the link at the bottom, and then see them all in reverse order from there. That's the only drawback to using the blog format, but on the plus side I get automatic page linking and comments.

This one isn't a kitchen tool.

I didn't have time to take more photos, but this page has pictures of many more shrunken coins:

Correct.

Thanks, I was hoping it had some type of use.

Here is the response I got from a leather worker when I asked him about this one:

"It's for marking leather. It's an overstitch wheel. Simply roll along leather to mark the spacing of stitches for smooth, even results every time. Varying ones available for 5, 6, 7 stitches to the inch."

Number 107 isn't for mops.

This one isn't for leather, but it is used with stitching.

Thanks for sharing those sites, they are impressive

Wrong. Affairs can be "torrid", but ferrous powders are made into toroids, most of which are too small in diameter for torrid affairs.

OOOUUCCHHHHHHHH!

[Robert Bonomi]

Nit: torrid. n. 1) parched with the heat of the sun. 2) scorching, burning. 3) passionate/ardent.

While _probably_ *not* what the O.P. "intended", I will suggest that def. #2 could be applicable to a high-intensity, VHF, magnetic field.

Bzzzzt! Look at the squeezed coins and you'll find no burning, scorching, or melting whatsoever. #2 does not apply.

A toroid might be made of ferrous powder but the name doesn't imply ferrous powder. The name refers to the shape. Like a donut.
