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

*long hard stare at men* One of your lot's ideas was it? ;) *aim nose at Admiral* 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 :) |

I believe that all mothers know when their children's teeth first come in..... Congratz Annie! |

WE are being strung along me thinks. *smile sweetly* You are familiar with my tool then :) So you also know what this is for... ...probably ;) Need to squint with little beady eyes for that one. 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? |

I got it, it's one of them "Sexual dysfunction thingies!" 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---^ My brow is 'knitted' trying to put a name to a holder of skeins....":D> 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... ;) oh...and did we say we like humans too? Well we do :) |

Knitting supplies? |

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