It occurred to me last night, that we have a vast array of skills and interests spread across the forum and that with those skills and interests come a wide variety of tools. So I thought I’d start a game.
Guess the tool!
Now, I think that it would be unfair to expect people to name the tool, since even in the UK there must be at least a dozen names for a spade, but, what I suggest is a game where we guess the use.
You find your most obscure tool, take a picture and then we have to guess what it’s for.
I think it might be fair if you provide a small tit-bit of a clue as well.
For instance, I’m a bookbinder.
What do I use this tool for?
I’m going to guess it trims pages in a finished book. (But I’m cheating because I read a description while looking for a picture of the flywheel guillotine paper cutter I used to use. Loved that machine.)
I suggest a not-quite-finished book page trimmer.
think you would use this to trim the ‘block’ of the book before adding the case/binding ?
Fallen at the last fence -I don’t know what you call the outer shell that protects the pages !
