Whatzit contest!

[Bro. Noble]

Jeeze Jeff,  your clues are tough.

That's the CD holder that Horace Greeley used to hold his music collection of tunes from the old south---------What's that got to do with logging?

[Duane_Moore]

 ???A Rafter Jig?  Duh---Duane

[etat]

Another wild guess, used to guage or in replacing the teeth in a circle saw?

[chet]

Is the bottom portion cut off from something, or is that the complete item?

[Norm]

Geez I can't believe nobody's got this yet. Those are plainly earmuffs for those west coast fellers. ;D

[chet]

Can I make a wild a** guess as to who used it?  A teamster.

[shopteacher]

Paul Bunyons tweezers for pulling those big spilters or Babe the Blue Ox nose hair. :D

[shopteacher]

Maybe the rear sights of the portable log saw you bought jeff?
Got to line that thing up and on target before letting her go.

[Jeff]

Still all nopes.  Pumping Paul could help ya. Too bad he won't  ;D

[redpowerd]

whatever it is, its doing an excellent job of driving me nuts!

looks like it may have been used on the top of a steel gin pole?

[Kevin_H.]

That's what I was thinkin' Noble. Maybe it's a nutcracker?

Only if you use it wrong... ;D  OOOWWW!!

otherwise I dont have a clue.

[Jeff]

A visual clue...

[shopteacher]

I got it now, that's the handbrake used by the brakeman on the sawmill. He'd reach out and grab the blade with that thing to bring it to a stop.

Do I wins?

[Jeff]

Now I know who's nuts. :D You betcha brakeman. You win da 3 fingers freddy award. :D

[Paul_H]

My older brother Don might know what it is.He was a bit of a punk when he was a kid but only for a while.

He still  has all of his fingers,but there was one in particular that he must of been proud of,cause he used to show it to me whenever we got our signals crossed :-/ :

[shopteacher]

Never said it was a good job.  Don't think I ever met 3 finger Freddy, is he a forum member? ;D

[Jeff]

Yea, but he never posts. Has trouble typing.

[Paul_H]

Dere is a cloo at da bottom of pagetoo :P

[shopteacher]

Shoot then, Freddy should learn shorthand.

[AtLast]

Its a jig for cutting 22.5 angles for dem fancy logging camp buildins...da carpenter used um...

oh gezzz...the visual clue totally caught me off guard...the oridgionl pic made it look big....now its in Jeffs hands and looks like a tool to set and calibrate set .

I know...its a musical insterment...sorta like dem spoons..

WAIT WAIT...its fer puttin the proper angle on an axe???


ARGH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Jeff]

These are some electrifying answers. Atlast, finally, somebody got it WRONGER. :D  (is wronger a word?) ;D

[AtLast]

Jeff,
I think its wrongerer?...wrongest? mostly wrong? wrongest of the wrong?

[Jeff]

I wouldn't say wrongest of the wrong, it aint over yet.

[Minnesota_boy]

Shopteacher,
Freddy already has short hands.  He types with his nose.  He can't see the keyboard from that close up.  That's why he has so many words misspelled.   :D

[Fla._Deadheader]

Ed says Grandad had one. Said it was for holding more than 1 set of check lines, for more than 1 pair of horses, mules, oxen, tractors??, for skidding or pulling a wagon, so one set of lines didn't slip through yer hands. ;D ;D

  Ed says to send the hats to my address.  ;D ;D :D :D :D
