Weird things!

[Dustydog]

Found this in my Dad’s garage prior to the sale.I have no idea at all what he made it for. Very weird! Any ideas?

Is it a floggle toggle from HMS T routbridge?

Possibly something to confuse us. Probably he passed to people and asked them if they knew hat it was for.

Looks like it was for holding something. Sorry, you will already have thought that. 😊

Funny what you find when clearing a relatives house. At my late mothers‘ house I opened a drawer that was otherwise empty apart from 6 top sets of dentures, all of them a bit broken. She didn’t have dementia, so what she was thinking I don’t know.

Hi DD, it's a home made tramell for storing, single oars on a rowing boat.

Ps Looked up definition of 'tramell' and it don't seem to 'fit'?

 

[Hutch]

Are you looking for a Nautical " Tramell" or a Wooden "Tramel" There is a wave of difference.

Pete, went out the other day to fill the "New bike" up with fuel. Freezing. , not used to that.

No Mel. My dad was an accountant. If you asked him for a left handed screw driver he would try and find one!

Glass hammer and skyhook were some of the others. LOL!
