What Is It? - #74

[SifuPhil]

Proudly standing 26" high, today's WII is made of metal (iron?) and was usually found in the hands of a skilled tradesman.



WHAT IS IT?

 

[Falcon]

Automobile jack ?

 

[SifuPhil]

Not an auto jack, no - although it does look like one.

 

[CeeCee]

Some kind of roller? That has to be partially right..it has wheels.

It does have wheels, but as Mr. Scott from Star Trek once said -

"If my grandmother had wheels she'd be a wagon"

So I don't know how to answer your guess except to say that it DOES have wheels, but it is not meant to be used as a roller.

 

[Falcon]

Hand truck for moving heavy loads.

 

[SifuPhil]

No, sorry, not a hand truck - remember, it's only 26" high and that includes the handle.

Dang, I though I was going to get partial credit!

 

[TICA]

A tile cutter or brick cutter?

 

[Anne]

Glass cutter; or marker???

 

[drifter]

Looks something like what i used to squeeze the mop out with.

 

[Ina]

Could it be a precursor to the forklift?

 

[CeeCee]

For teeny tiny things!

 

[Diwundrin]

Are those cutting discs that appear to be lined up with the wheels, and do the wheels and motion to turn them have anything to do with the purpose of this diabolical contraption?

 

[Falcon]

Airplane joystick for controlling the ailerons.

 

[CeeCee]

He should be online at about 3 PT, that's about 8 minutes...hope to find out what the heck that is.

And yes, I am stalking you, Phil, lol.

Hmmmm, guess I haven't been paying close enough attention.

 

[GDAD]

used for installing floor boards!??????

 

[Anne]

Carpet cutter or stretcher???

 

[SifuPhil]

A tile cutter or brick cutter?

Glass cutter; or marker???

Nope and nope - good guesses, though.

Looks something like what i used to squeeze the mop out with.

Are you ordering from QVC again?

Not a mop wringer.

Could it be a precursor to the forklift?

Nope, not a forklift ancestor.

For teeny tiny things!

Define "teeny tiny".

Yes.

Airplane joystick for controlling the ailerons.

Wow ... but no, sorry.

Sorry - had my student today and had some personal things to take care of.

used for installing floor boards!??????

No, but it is used for installing something - good one!

Carpet cutter or stretcher???

Nope, but I can see how you'd think that.

 

[CeeCee]

Well...I will find out tomorrow...Big Bang again!

 

[SifuPhil]

Wow - and it's only been what, 14 billion years since the last one?

I think it's all because of global warming ...

 

[Diwundrin]

Is it used by upholsterers? I'm thinking fabric cutter to cover 'beading' cord.


(See how I avoided that GW shot?)

 

[SifuPhil]

Not used by upholsterers, sorry.

... and good avoidance technique.

I might be hitting the sack early tonight, folks, so any more guesses will have to hold until I'm on next - sorry.

 

[Diwundrin]

You're excused, ni ni.

 

[SeaBreeze]

Glass cutter?
