Thread: Mystery tool

Tweet

I don't think molten lead would discolor steel, or aluminum for that matter. The wooden handles really say the part was too hot to touch, and that it had to be removed regularly.

There appears to be a joint between the block and the grooved bottom piece, making me think that the bottom comes off? For me a key would be what other kind of "stuff" was in the estate sale, pointing to what the guy was into for his vocation or his hobbies. It's an intriguing question, for sure!

It looks to be a seaming tool of some sort. Possibly with a steam injection port. That would support the idea that it gets hot and would explain the wood handles.
Sorry, that's all I got for you.

Dave-we need a poll to figure out how many people know what a vortex generator is------
and of course whether the voltage is possitive, negative, static??????????

lol, and I spent my time on helicopters!!!

We haven't considered the Star Trek conundrum.

Very probably an anomality within the time continuum resultant of a warp core collapse threw this part back in time. Given this fantastic yet improbable scenario, we should consider this to be an integral component of the dilithium chamber. Perhaps it is the crystal emplacement and removal die.

He should run a quantum field evaluation, and determine exactly how far from the future it originated.

Great score for an estate sale!

Well it's still a mystery tool. The blade or guide is bent from a kid that dropped it. I still ain't got a clue what it is.

Remember too that most, "...vortex generators are positioned obliquely so that they have an angle of attack with respect to the local airflow in order to create a tip vortex which draws energetic, rapidly moving outside air into the slow-moving boundary layer in contact with the surface."

Just sayin'.....

and the B707 had 48 on top of each wing and 13 under both sides horizonal stabalizers
