You nailed it. I've started to occasionally repost some of the older items, I guess it's good as a memory test and I think a lot of people probably haven't seen all of the older posts. Also it's easier for me to repost than it is to sort through hundreds of photos and then process them into usable form.

I wonder if the shiny one, at least, is some sort of ground anchor for setting into concrete and putting a removable post into. The various shapes and ends of the pipes are just to ensure a good embedding into the concrete.

I just did some more searching on these but they are still a mystery. The owner thought they might be marine or fishing related. I think the angled cuts are for attaching tubing, but that's just a guess.

Just in the last couple of weeks they were doing some veneering on TV... using a very similar tool... think it was that 'Woodwright Shop' show with the guy who uses all the old traditional hand tools and manual equipment. Interesting show really, much better than 97% of the televised garbage these days.
Wow, has it been ten years now? Thanks Rob, your posts are one of the things I look forward to every Thursday.

That's what I thought (maybe for some sort of irrigation system), but why would the main tubes not be angled too?

Posting from my desk top PC in the living room as always.
3091, hammer for very wide nails. 3092, carpet stretcher 3093, clamp on handle for a pier, over water. Makes it easier for swimmers to climb out. 3094, part of an egg whisk, but missing some parts. 3095, an early crank door bell. The crank is missing. 3096, sampler for bags of merchandise like wheat or grain. Allows the inspector to puncture, and take a few grains for testing.And, you did it again. I've totally no clue what any of these are.
