Name This Tool

Used while milking.

 

OMG I thought sexual deviant devices would be banned in this forum,...

I guess not.

Kicking chains, like hobbles, kept them from kicking and reduced the number of times they stepped into the bucket. Did nothing for the dreaded s***ty tail though. One time though the d*** cow kicked, pulled the other leg forward and fell on the bucket. With the chains on, she couldn't get back up and was flopping all over. Did the logical thing, hollered for dad and let him take care of it.

 

Nothing out there yet made beats the water yoke for hauling buckets. It keeps the buckets from hitting your legs and puts the weight on your shoulders and back, not your arms. Use your arms to steady the buckets. Were still used when I was a kid for maple sap. Emptied the sap buckets into the yoke buckets and carried them to the tank on the horse sleigh. Can kneel slightly and unhook buckets, kneel slightly and rehook. Walk through snow a lot easier and even an eight year old kid could carry two buckets.

Yankee screwdriver had a hollow handle with several fluted bits and my granddad used it to predrill holes in hardwood to prevent nail shakes "splits" in the wood around the fasteners as it expanded and contracted. Drilled holes for every fastened for wooden boats.

Nothing. For while this is a plane, it is not for mouldings. It cuts a thin groove, a preset distance from an edge. It is used for making cabinet drawers. I collect antique wood working tools, and I have many of the planes you describe. This, is not one of them.

 

Pros would remove the return spring completely. If the screw tip skipped off the screw. The return spring would gouge expensive woodwork. It is not needed to open it, as gravity does quite well without it.
An amateur would leave the spring in. And pay the price in damaged wood.

 

It is missing a piece or two but it is/was a tool.

 

Beam mounted hand drill. Replaced by the drill press.

 

Respectfully disagree. Moulding/molding planes have the same contours as the blades/irons. Otherwise, they can not cut the contoured shape needed. They are not flat on bottom, as block planes are.

Jim Leamy Plow Plane
This infill plow plane made by Jim Leamy is one of the most beautiful things I own. All the parts move with watch-like precision. The fit and finish of every single part is astonishing."

These are just a few of my interesting tools.
Can you name any of them?

 

Mostly wood working tools @kellory. A couple of them I don't recognize. .. it's difficult because all the pics are in one post. Love the red truck hood as a background makes them easy to see. Nice collection!
