No and no.
Celttooths guess on the other page was spot on. Makes a good clue.

One of your lot's ideas was it?

It's an anniet-appaller, Admiral. It's for weaning calves before nature intended their mum's to do it... you know... by equipping the hungry infant with the equivalent of a lawn aerator which turned their mothers into right cows... with teeth and everything.


edit: I came to move my smiley from here, to up there instead. It seemed a little sadistic down here

:) <- this one looks okay though :)

It was probably inspired by corporate and economic necessity and greed.

*smile sweetly*

You are familiar with my tool then :)

So you also know what this is for...



...probably ;)

Try these.



They're for keeping yours eyes largely apart.

They're good.

No.

Not like that they're not....

I see three tools now. Typical I suppose, divide and confuse. Or were they intended to string along our beady eyes?

Well anything's worth trying once I suppose... yeees ;) It occurred to me I could make one out of an old yogurt pot and a stick... I've not handled one myself you see, but I'm thinking how much I would like to :) Up till now I've only watched it being used, but it IS like magic, Ian!!

*beam happily at toolizens*

I'm so glad so many of you are familiar with this tool :) Would you like to see it being assembled? I've got a picture of that somewhere, but first I have to talk to Gary...

In consecutive order:
Yes :)
Yes :)
They were intended to help string them along, yes... and secure them :) The last picture just shows what's already inside the tool though because they're all related to it in some way

See ---v



in there---^

mine too... erm... do you mind if don't, Jaundiced Eye... :) it's just I forgot to respond to something else Ian said and it doesn't hold skeins. It could sort of produce a specific type of them though I think :)

Are we looking at millinery supplies?

You mean like for making hats... well if it is, it's not widespread in western millinery as far as I know...

I'll go find that picture for you now...

edit: and here it is...



another edit: Oh. I appear to have exhausted all my helpfulness now. That doesn't bode well...

;)

If you look at it with beady eyes it use may become clear me thinks.
