If it's not a knobless saucepan lid, then it's a stripped doorknob lock, from one of those youtube "how to" clips: how to pick doorknob locks. Or it's a very small keyhole in the middle of a very round door. Wormhole security hatch. Roundness tester. |

So many ideas. None of the new ones are right. Not a knobless saucepan lid, nor a stripped doorknob lock, Wormhole security hatch, it could be used for that, but it would have to be for a hole made by a very large worm. Roundness tester, half right. Turntable platter, no but it does have to do with sound. Not a CD cleaning disk. As for a parting saw, no. But on that beat I part ways. |

Someone will pitch the right answer |

Pitch the right answer sounds right. So does head tool, but what is it? |

I forget the name, but don't they use big discs like this when tuning drums? |

How does it work? Is that drum for beating, or an oil drum? Help. |

How does it work? Is that drum for beating, or an oil drum? I believe it measures the tension of the drum head as a quick way for a tin ear to tune a drum. |

Thanks for the win. We had a similar one awhile back, here is a modern one. Slightly photoshopped to remove obvious clues. |

You need this to keep flying straight as a arrow. |

Close as I can come is to it is for putting feathers and tips on both end of and arrow shaft. The feathers have to be just so so on the shaft? |

Just might win this one Grant. It's just for the feathers. |
Bill Walker Send message Joined: 4 Sep 99 Posts: 3868 Credit: 2,697,267 RAC: 0 |
Grant wins. Over to you. It is for fletching, or placing the feathers on the back end of the shaft. Or as some engineers would call it, the anti-pointy end. |

Not everyone is going to need one of those, but when the time is right you would appreciate it. |
