    Can you help identify this tool please?

    Hi Daniel. Thanks for that - I think that you are correct! I've looked C. A. Tools of the web-thing and can see images that are similar enough to convince me that you have it nailed. I've changed two clutches in my time and didn't have access to (or knew of the existence of) a universal tool. I...

    Can you help identify this tool please?

    Hi - I've asked my son for dimensions - should have thought to to do so before! Sorry! D'Oh! Another kind person has suggested that it is a vehicle clutch alignment tool - and I think that he may be right. Thanks for taking the time to reply. All the Best! Bill

    Neolithic adze from Ash wood

    Thanks Rorschach. I think that your point about an evolving process of better and better tools is very valid. joshvegas is right, in that the first tool would have been a bit rough-and-ready as necessity demanded - but later tools would have been better fashioned with much more care. We know...

    Neolithic adze from Ash wood

    Many thanks LJM (and others who have responded). Great to hear from someone who has already done it! I do intend to use tools as authentic as possible. I am basing the design on the stone blade and the imprint of the decayed wooden handle found at the well site near Leipzig in Germany. It did...

    Neolithic adze from Ash wood

    Hi. I am a self-confessed ignoramus in the wood-working realm! Other than some pen turning my only experience has been building a replica Neolithic longhouse with other volunteers between 2016 and 2018.
