    Is there a brand on that?  I have never seen anything like that and I bet you are right that does not get used often.

     

    Hmmm, see what I can come up with.

     


    Yeah, this particular saw set is from Craftsman. It's pretty old, though. Circa 1950's I think. It works great. I've used it several times to fix bent teeth from hitting hard knots and the occasional nail or screw in reclaimed lumber.

    Circular saw blade is my guess but since you are not using your banana its hard to say.


    Ding ding ding! We have a winner! (I'll keep my banana to myself, thanks! [emoji16])

    Here's a photo that explains it for those interested... e94ffa13cff9dd3bb6c1a71accc2346b.jpg

    I would have got it if you had a banana.  Apple just doesn't cut it. [emoji4]

     

    Anything to do with a bandsaw?


    Not a bandsaw, but a different type of saw.

    Ok, no banana for scale, but I did have this...

    To summarize the hints...

    1. Used in woodworking, rarely, but when needed, there is no other way to accomplish the task.
    2. Hit the top of the piece with the spring repeatedly, flip the workpiece, and do it again all the way around.
    3. Used with power tools only.

    Bonus hint: the two pieces are used together, but do not touch each other. If they did, there is no way to do the task.

    The workpiece attaches to the smaller part.

    Here's hint #2...

    You tap the top of the piece with the spring with a hammer, and do this many many times, all the way around!

    Then you flip the workpiece, and do it again!

    I thought it was used to put gauges in people's ears. Lay the ear in the slot then hit the punch with a hammer, but you said it is for woodworking. 


    Ouch! That would hurt!

    Oh I see it now. A sheet goes in between it the two pieces which are held together by magnets. Is it used to mark the outline of a piece on the bottom of a material onto the top?


    Nope. Not even close

    How Long is a Chinaman? yes, yes he is....

     

    Interesting tool, I imagine the one doo dad complements the other?


    Yes, they are used together, but do not come in contact with other. In fact, if they did, it would be impossible to properly use the tool.

  20. finishing cedar -- advice needed

    in Woodworking

    Posted

    If you want it to weather to that natural grey look, no finish is needed at all.
    If you do decide to put a finish on it, as long as you use some rated for outdoor use, and uv stable, you should have decent luck. Normally,outdoor projects with a finish on them will require some type of maintenance every 3 to 5 years.
    Make sure to use a water proof glue (titebond 2 or 3 work great), and don't finish on the areas that will get glued. It can prevent the glue from bonding.
    Use stainless fasteners, galvanized will react with the cedar tannins and acids.
