Some of you may remember this thread from a few weeks back where I posted some pics of an incredible woodworking tool collection I got to see. I found another pic that I thought I had lost... Anyone want a guess for what this tool is? (The wooden part is just a display stand).

Just a guess here, but it looks like its used to make shoes? Dave, watch out, you will likely feel Don William's wrath for that "cat" comment

looks like it could be an early nail gun. The nails are fed from the hopper and you hold it against the wall or such with the handle and hit the plunger with a hammer? Or then again it might not be

Ding ding ding! Colin is the winner of... a wonderful feeling of accomplishment. I was hoping the nail holes in the base wouldn't give it away, I didn't notice that before I posted it. |

Jon, I bet you Colin is still using his - remember they use nails to hold on lute and violin necks! Hey Don, That was a non PC (Pussy Cat) comment of mine back there and a totally and humbly apologise

Oh, and it'd be a tight fit but I bet you could fit a cat through that thing. |

Jon, Yes - I thought that those holes on the base were the claw marks

You koa guys have it easy. I'm cocobolo, I make everyone sneeze and they keep trying to flood my crack with superglue. (If this gets modded, I won't complain... There's no other forum where that joke would make sense.) |

Thanks to "Ask This Old House" on PBS I knew EXACTLY what that was. Unfortunately, I don't post as fast as Serge, no tub 'o lard for me  .

Hmmm...I wonder if that's the tool Billy used to neuter poor "Heshie". Knowing Billy, he'll probably have the explants hanging from his Christmes tree!

It does look like a "cat"apult. It flings cats out of your shop or anywhere for that matter. The neutering occurs on impact. Lance I remember those Ronco ads. It was called the Bedazzler! Best,Evan aka Diet Cocobola |

I thought it was a seed drill. Really. Fill the hopper with seeds, pressing the thingie makes the hole and plants the seed.

It looks like the nails are gravity fed, so I wonder if it primarily served to nail flooring down? |
