I have never seen anything like it….do you actually have any ordinary tools in your workshop?

Contact me

    DavecUK Yes of course I do,mostly mundane ones but also a few odd / unusual ones🤣

      Gagaryn Not quite as flamboyant/ usually a boiler suit but quite a variety of ‘stuff in the garage’

        1. I think this run long enough

        The tool is an automatic roofing square, giving all the cuts and lengths per Ft / run traditional roofs.

        The cuts (bevels) although 45 deg in plan need to be worked out geometrically to find the actual angle to mark on the timber.

        Below shows the face of the square and it’s slightly more modern version IF you know ho to use it.

        a month later

        Here’s another one, it’s not a tool though.

        I’m pretty sure that I have a box of them in the garage, with the tool needed to deploy. I won’t say what I think it is to let other people guess

        The tool needed is something to hoik it down with 👍

        Not seen one of them in a while! Used to hate getting my trousers caught on the damn things!

        DavecUK , Elcarajillo ‘fraid not.

        It’s used to hold something in place when repairing . A bit of a cheats method but very functional 👍

        Oh , and I’d bet most of us have the things they hold in place.

            Holding a line of some sort for something?
