What is it? Set 500

[Rob H.]

I need some help with the second item this week:

Rob

[joeljcarver]

2911 - Craftsman made veneer hammer

2914 - For handling burlap bags -- or small logs ...

[Rodwell]

2911 An adze for wood working.

No idea on the others as per usual!

[woodchucker]

2916 bench top clamp for holding wood on edge for jointing or other work.

[Alexander Thesoso]

Correct, the owner called it a bench vise.

It's definitely for woodworking though the person selling said it was for a slightly different purpose than an adze.

2912 is a seedling planting tool

Posting from my desk top PC as always.

Hey, congrats on set 500. Real milestone. We're cheering you on.

2911, possibly some kind of adze for wood working. 2912, looks a bit like a seed distributor, back of a farm machine. I've only seen this kind of thing once, and it was a lot of years ago. There was a vibrating wire in the center, to help cut back on jams. There were four or five of these, for the four or five rows of planting. The farmer I visited, may still be alive. I may be able to go to the old machine, and take several photos. Let me know. 2913, with the exposed wick wonder if it's a version of oil lamp, or mabye an inker for printing press? But, no real information. 2914, early carpet kicker for carpet stretching? 2915, bit brace of some kind. But the tip that opens? No clue. 2916, looks a bit like an end bracket for timber frame construction.

Thanks! Looks like this is probably correct, I'll forward it on to the owner.

The rest of the answers for this set have been posted on the site:

Thanks for the encouragement, I'm planning to keep it going as long as I can find interesting stuff.

Wouldn't a 'Real millstone' be more appropriate? ;-)

Much Thanks, Rob. I really look forward to your weekly puzzles. .. although Set 489 item 2846 from April 2013 is driving me crazy ! I swear I've seen this exact thing somewhere, sometime ... ... I hate when this happens ! :-) John T.

Could it be a slide out cutting board?

And also a fertilizing tool. We used the tool for stabbing many holes every so often, drop in a hand full of fertilizer and move on, around the pecan trees.

I have a smaller, hand made one for fertilizing around the plum, pear & citrus trees.
