Topic tags/keywords: question

I propose a fun game. I will start this game now. I am posting some photographs and you (yes you) have 48 hours to guess what it is. The rules are simple. This is really #5 for this game.

1. It must be made out of wood.

2. Or, it must be used in woodworking such as a non-wood jig.

3. If you wish to post your own “WHAT IS IT” take the next number 6,7,8 etc.

4. You mugs post your guesses below. This is the 4th time for me. Some of you must have something like #6, or #7. I’m running out of ideas … so get to work. Thank you SM for #3.

OK, HERE WE GO …. WHAT IS IT ?

This works with your incra jig to cut box ends…

I have two of these. We give them to visitors to wear in the back yard so we don’t have to clean up the doggie “meadow muffins”.

If it’s not used for making paper into pads, it sure could be. Just add paper and some padding cement and then clamp it down.

it’s a board squisher – for when your boards are just a hair too long, a hair to narrow and thin.

I have seen them at Wal-Mart. You place your foot in it, push the slide to your toe, back it off one inch and then walk around the store trying to find a shoe that fits in. It saves time by not having to try on a number of pairs and keeps smelly feet out of the new shoes.

ANSWER

It’s what I store my 1/4 sheets of sandpaper in. Each grade has its own index card from 50 to 2000. Some of the sandpapers that I get precut want to curl, and this helps keep them flat.
