Unique mech tools

Yep Glen tought me that trick I love it but someone I was training kept breaking my awls/ center pounches. Plus the new home depots stopped carring them have to go to an older store with a larger selection.

A lot of them stopped carrying Duo-Fast wide crown staples as well. I used to be able to get 1/4" for the rails and 3/8" for pocket leathers at Home Depot in the carpet section, but they are getting harder and harder to find there.

Sears carries the 1/2" wide crown staples:D

The Arrow staples in the blue and Yellow boxes still work in the Duo-Fast.
Alot of the Home Depots I've been in the last couple of months tend to have them reduced for clearance in the tool section.
 
THis guy made this

Why would anyone want to destroy the flavor of good weed? That's some sick sh!t. :groucho:

Edit: maybe it was NOT good weed. Maybe it was ditch weed. We had a lot of that in this area back in the 70's.
 
One of our specialty tools. Anybody guess?

A giant block plane for leveling slate seams or for shaving fuzz off of cheap cloth.

looks like a jig to hold a rail still so you can insall rubber like a third hand. The to steel plates fit into the feather strips to secure it what keeps it from slideing side to side. I think you use 2 rail bolts and it locks up on the angeled plates to lock it it in while steaching the rail rubber.

Since I win can I have that box next to it as a prize looks like a level box.

Hint number two.

This is an actual tool made in the early 60s by Brunswick. There is two of these to a set! Not one of my most used tools but i think you guys will appreciate it!

Some great guesses guys! Will post another photo after work.

Craig has used two of the words i would use to describe this tool!

Make me a set and I can use it tweak it then come back with an answer. I havespent to many hours in the hot sun this week lost 20lbs and hope I dont find it. Since you said a pair I'm at a lost maybe its to remove rubber..

Maybe a few moe photo's?

or when I rest more I can think better and get whats behind door number two.

I think it's for cutting sub rail liners to size. Plates hold the rail and set the depth of the featherstrip notch to proper depth. scratch that it's not 9o deg of the angle but But now I'm thinking of a few jigs I can make to speed up set up time.

Thaqnks for the quiz.

O.K, this was a tough one! These are factory Brunswick Snooker cushion jigs. On american snooker tables Brunswick used full profle cushion. This tool allowed them to shape the cushion with out the added snooker bends.
Remember, full profile cushion is shaped from the backside unlike true snooker step cushion which is shaped from the front.

You insert cushion nose down in jig, cut taper using the steel rails as guides. Viola! That's it! One for side and one for corners. Have had them for quite a while, even have the box they came in!

Thanks to everyone that guessed! hope it wasnt a let down!!!
