And this pic is bad, but take a hook shaped tool, and roll the tip backwards... What would that be for? Didn't seem to have any of the edges sharpened.
Hoping someone knows, these puzzled me.
:D

The first one is a saw set, used to set angle that the teeth of a handsaw lean out to the side; and I think the other one is a farrier's tool, for trimming hooves before shoeing. I think I remember using something very similar to that at Sturbridge Village when we shod the oxen.

Thank you!
I'm not certain the hook thing is sharpened though, I might be wrong, it was behind glass and I couldn't poke it, but I didn't notice sharpened edges. Can you explain how it would work? I'm always curious about things!! :D

And just since no one has actually mentioned what a "clevis" or "shackle" is used for, we often use one to attach a chain or loop of wire rope to something else - we use them to attach two chains together or a chain to a hook, or a chain to a loop of wire rope because we can run wire rope through single or double pulley system or through a ratchet-puller, but if we need to go a long distance, wire rope has more stretch than chain does.
Just in case anyone looking at this thread is interested.

Oh wait, the thing with the string, Lew, is Terezea right? If not, say so, but don't tell us what it is, we'll keep picking at it. If it is right, Tereza gets an apple too :)
Andrea Locke wrote:I am curious to know how it is used for rice paddy weeding. Is it for digging out the roots of weeds? Would it not be easy to pull weeds rooted in mud covered in a layer of water? Is there enough room between the rice plants to insert a shovel like that? Apologies for the million questions but I know nothing about growing rice and am interested how it works and the utility of this tool.
