New Game, With Update!

Wow. No one came even vaguely close to guessing what the mystery item was yesterday. So I'm going to make it easier. I'm going to give you more of the puzzle today. Let's see if this helps any:


Now let's see how the guessing goes!

That is all.

That's a Bridgeport 2J with factory power feed on the X.

Well, with the handle attached I'm going with "ferrule for a beach (ocean) fishing rig".

Hand-held weedwhacker ferrule came in a close second.

It's a custom magic wand in .357 Magnum.

Yesterday, my first thought was soooo far out in right field that I didn't post.

But I will now: I think it looks like a candle follower (as commonly found on church candles). I bought a set of these recently from my church - and was surprised how pricey they were. If I had a lathe, making a set sounds like a fun project.

Yeah, this doesn't make sense with the wooden portion, but I'm going with it anyway...

Clearly it's a stick.

Looks like Spear's handiwork...

Half a nunchuck!

Wally said...

Is that a Whacking Stick ? Are you getting set for the great snake whack of 2013 ?

Toolholder for woodturning tools

Buttplug! Looks thin, so it's probably a training model until you can move up to the big ones!

Sure looks like the making of a boat or bay fishing pole to me, the wooden part being the butt end, the metal part being the connecting piece that holds the butt end of the the fiberglass or graphite end of the rod in place.

Yep, have fishing on my mind, maybe a nice trip out on a party boat next week.

All the best,
GB

I'd have to agree with JC - looks like a chisel handle for a woodlathe.

I'm with Weer'd.

This is an espresso machine.

No, no wait. It's a snow cone maker.

Is it a water heater?

It's a rudder for a duck.

Ok, to break completely with all the frivolity around here, B-), it looks like a tire bumper to me. The thing truckers use to hit each tire and ensure they're all inflated.

Short-barreled handcannon?

Charles Lee Scudder said...

Honestly, it looks likes a duck call, but is way longer then I've ever seen.

Skul said...

Going with JC's guess.

Tenor bagpipe drone.

I'd have to go with UGA Wino's guess: "Half a nunchuck."

Jim said...

I agree with JC as well. That looks like the handle for a woodturning tool.
