Mr. Anonymous Game #39 @ 25/2/2017

[robutacion]

Please ignore the original pics and question, the answer was accidentally revealed in the pics and I apologise for my mistake...!

Correct images and question on post #7


Hi folks,

I understand that at the moment, IAP is having lots of different challenges and that everybody is busy trying to finish or wrap up these annual events so, my game #39 may come at a less convenient time for some of you so, I will try to make it simple and something that will not require a lot of searching, so I hope...!

On these 2 images bellow, you can see a wood bowl that has warped considerably after finished, the wood wasn't green (spalting) but it was wet from being in the rain for some time.

The questions is;

What did I use, apart from a plywood disc, to secure the bowl on the lathe on this re-mounting...?


Cheers
George

Hot melt glue

 

[Jontello]

Melted wax

 

[Herb G]

I'd say hot melt glue.

 

[CREID]

Vacuum

Cancel original question

Oh boy, I'm normally a little more careful with the pics I select for these games and is only fair to everybody that I cancel the original question and start all over with something else, why..?

Well, if you haven't noticed already, the pics actually say what the image is about, silly me..!

So, give me a few minutes to work something out, and start again...!

Sorry 1080Wayne, Jontello, Herb G and CREID

Cheers
George

Replacement image(s) and question

Ok so, let's hope I got this one right...!

Some years ago, I design and built a piece of equipment that turned out to be a great invention that I used for years and many other copied for themselves.

I made this "thing" out of a galvanised steel pipe used on one of the damaged street signs found not far from me, on the side of the road.

The question is;

What is/was it used for...?

I would like to remind you all of the new conditions I introduced on game #32 and that, is what actually the gift voucher amount will be spent on, and allow the actual winners to make their own choices. The only RULE that I ask you all to respect is that I allow each 1/3 of the value amount (AU$100.00) to be used on the selection of blanks/packs between the 3 main blanks types I make/sell, there is, raw/natural wood blanks, stabilized blanks/packs and Resifills (cast blanks), this means basically that you can select 1/3 of each type or all raw/natural blanks but never the voucher amount of all stabilized or Resifill blanks, I hope this has come clear if not, let me know...!

A voucher code will be sent by PM or email to the winner that will use it to put his/her's order, any freight/shipping is not included in the prize/voucher so, you will be requested at checkout to pay for posting.

Note: One guess per post and a maximum of 3 guesses sets per member so, pick well...!

Cheers
George

Log holder. To hold the log while you remove the bark?

 

[stuckinohio]

Log holder to secure the log while you cut strips of wood from it?

 

[robutacion]

Log holder. To hold the log while you remove the bark?

Well, good thinking but, not quite right on both counts...!

[stuckinohio]

Wood holder to secure it while you carve it?

 

[robutacion]

I may have to stress that fact that, the "tool" shown could be used for a few different functions however, I'm looking for the very reason I design and built this "thing".

I very rarely use it in recent times, for the original purpose it was built unless in very special circumstances :biggrin:

Cheers
George

 

[robutacion]

Wood holder to secure it while you carve it?

Oh, you want the prize so badly, do you...?:wink::biggrin:

Unfortunately, you have used your 3 guesses and you were unable to answer my question, I do however think that you have a good idea of some of it's possible uses if necessary but, I built it for something else that is in some way related with your line of thinking.

Let's see what the other guys or gals will come up with...@!

Cheers
George

 

[stuckinohio]

Oh, I figured they were wrong, but my brain wasn't doing much in the way of deep thinking this morning!

 

[Edgar]

Clothes drying rack?

 

[Skewer]

Wood holder to attach to your vehicle for when you are out and about.

 

[CREID]

Log sizer.

 

[Califo]

Log holder for cutting. Use of a chain saw, or other tool

 

[Cmiles1985]

That looks like your log holder for using the chainsaw to cut wood into manageable sizes.

Hold your log stable and up off the ground while cutting with your chainsaw.

[luckyscroller788]

a jig to rough out a chunk of log with a chainsaw to a rough round blank for turning on the lathe.

 

[alankulwicki7]

It's for splitting Banksia nuts....

 

[robutacion]

Clothes drying rack?

What...!

Could it be one end of one of those...? sure, with another of them installed some distance apart, it would be a good cloth line with its one adjustment for height, anything is possible...!

What have you been drinking, today...?:biggrin:

Cheers
George

 

[robutacion]

I have "pondered" on your answer but, I can't see how it could be used for such purpose, there are other tools that are a lot better suited for that sort of bush work.

Banksia nuts...?

Banksias don't grow nuts but pods...!:biggrin:

Well, there has been a few of you that seem to recognise or understand what such a tool could be used for and I can confirm that;

1- If the question was, what is the name of the tool, the answer would be, a "log holder" that is obvious and many of you worked out but, that was not the question.

2- If the question was, what such tool is used for, the answer would be, to hold a log for debarking, resizing, cutting portions of, hold the log for curving, hold any unusual shaped piece of wood for further work, etc, etc. however, that was not the question but the very reason I built it for at the time...!

Cheers
George

 

[robutacion]

Camon folks, is that all you've got...?

I gave already all the hints I can, anymore I will be giving the answer, huh...?:biggrin:

Cheers

[Scissortail Pens]

I'm going to try "Log Vise".:biggrin:

 

[edicehouse]

It was used to hold a street sign up off the ground before you made a tool out of it.

 

[edicehouse]

It was used to keep things from spinning while you work on them

 

[edicehouse]

A back scratcher

 

[robutacion]

I'm going to try "Log Vise".:biggrin:

A log vice would be an appropriate name for this tool but, it's name is not the question, sorry...!

Cheers
George

 

[Jontello]

You use it to hold the log or trunk while you cut it with your chain saw

Well, that would be correct, if the question was, what did I made it with/from?

A "small" correction should be made as to what I used to make the tool, the sign post was indeed a hit and run type item, the post/pipe of which I salvaged to make the tool (most of it), was a good distance from its original position with the street name plaque nowhere to be found.

The once straight post/pipe was ripped/snapped off its concrete base with a 45% bent at 2/3 of its length making me assume that one of the few idiots that use the street for car racing, have manage to make a mistake and have some "karma" payback by their "service" to the community and have a fair amount of damage to their beloved racing/modified car that is still today, unidentified...!

My contribution to the community was to remove the bent pipe from the side of the road and dispose of it, the way I felt most appropriate...!

Yes, that would be correct but, to do what/for what purpose...?

I can maybe say that many, many dozens of the "pieces" I cut on that log holder/vice, have spent some days submerged in water and some concentrate of dish-washing liquid detergent so, what was I cutting/making..?:biggrin:

Well after seeing this post, my next answer that I posted wouldn't be correct.

Saw dust/man glitter

 

[southernclay]

It's used to hold to cut out bowl blanks.

 

[Cmiles1985]

I think the purpose of the tool is to keep the log from moving suddenly while operating the chain saw, thus keeping you (or whomever the operator is) relatively safe from injury.
