Well, I'm still stumped. I need another clue. The mind is a weird and mysterious place |

Ok, it's a nose-picking tool. Very strange. The mind is a weird and mysterious place |

I just need to take a picture of what I have in mind, but I won't be home to upload it until a little after noon EST, today. The mind is a weird and mysterious place |

Okey doke, I covered up the manufacturer name so there's no clue right off the bat, but I imagine this is an easy one anyway~ The mind is a weird and mysterious place |

A remote pancake flipper - remote in the sense that the pancake is in the next room? (can you tell I'm out of my depth here? :)) |

Byron, that's exactly what I would think if I didn't know what this gizmo is, but it's not that. Annie, you always come up with very creative ideas. Not that, either. The mind is a weird and mysterious place |

Yes, the handle is currently in the down position. It must be raised to begin the task it performs. The mind is a weird and mysterious place |

The tool is bolted to a vertical steel I-beam, at a comfortable height for a person standing to use a downstroke motion. There is currently nothing under the tool except the floor. ;~} The mind is a weird and mysterious place |

I just realized there is a part missing that attaches via the wing nuts. Not trying to be tricky, just didn't notice it was unassembled when I took the picture last night! Sorry. But, hey, makes things more interesting, right? ;~} The mind is a weird and mysterious place |

Mmm, no... the part bolts to the rest of the apparatus via the wingnuts at the bottom, but it's flat and only about half an inch thick. The mind is a weird and mysterious place |

Monday, Donald, and Byron, you're all kind of warm, but I need to take another picture of this gizmo tonight if I can find the piece that screws onto the bottom. That should help clarify things. Stay tuned. The mind is a weird and mysterious place |
