So this is my 20th post picking the brains of Tool Nerds to
help me identify some random items from the
garage organization/upgrade at the @gardenofeden.
Even after posting, there are still items we haven't been able to identify,
or if someone actually were, it's not clear to me with conviction that
the answer is true.
Please take another look at the things in question and see if
you have a definitive answer.
SUGGESTED: Something to clamp down a glass tabletop, a fastener for wood, a fastener for blinds, a fastener for furniture, bottom pieces to legs of a table, a paperweight, door knobs.
SUGGESTED: Face gear from an angle grinder, part from a lawn mower or small tractor transmission, a transmission from something that moves & runs on an internal combustion engine, ring gear and drive shaft assembly to externally attached to a case carrying a pinion gear, for making cool prints in dough or with paint on the edge of the wheel part,.
SUGGESTED: Some sort of support bearing for a long spinning shaft, a roller for a sliding door, a hand built adjustable bearing- maybe for a chain drive, an adjuster, set bering for a pulley, a roller for a hanging door
SUGGESTIONS: NONE!
SUGGESTED: a gear for some sort of device that has stopping points on both ends--maybe for a hand juicer, looks like it used to have a chain on it--maybe for something with a handle that you turn by hand to squeeze or squish something, a part for a car jack, a chain driven gear or chain tensioner for some sort of machine, similar to the gear on the throttle handle on an outboard motor, sprocket, one of the gears on a 10 speed bicycle separated from the rim, a turn of the 18th century gear selector from a motorized vehicle or farm implement
If you have any input that could clarify the WTFness of any of these items,
please chime in!
Be sure to note the # of the item you are commenting on, and tell me:
1. what it is--please be specific--I don't know about these things!
2. what it's intended to be used for
3. if it still looks useable for its original purpose
4. alternative ideas on how to use it.
It's so fun to play this game with you and tap into your knowledge and/or creative minds.
I'm still sorting through the garage, so who knows what else I'll find!
Thanks for tuning in!
