Well that was too easy. Here is something that I have only used once. Well several time really but on only one job. Anyone else know what these are?

Well, they look like they're all the same tool. Why would someone need so many? Are they made out of iron?

The reason you need so many is because they are plug and feather. You have some interesting sidelines.

Yes, we have a winner! That was a lot quicker than I expected.
They are plug and feather tools used to split rocks or stone. You drill a line of holes then place the tools. The hammer along the line until the stone splits.

My use was not really a sideline, but my first house was a Victorian with basalt foundation. I had to replace a few of the stones and could not find anyone who could duplicate them. So I made my own.

All of you are very good so I am going to throw out a hard one (I think). This is an improved version of a tool that the manufacturer would normally provide. Both do the same job but this one is much easer to use



Have fun!
