OK, so I nicked a film title (anyone remember the film?) :roll: Anyway here's another small collection of antique wood machining conundrums from yesterday to be going on with, see how many you can name:
No. 1
Looks ideal for mowing the grass but it really isn't. What is it?
No. 2
In it's full title (which I think I'm going to ask someone like Mr. Grimsdale to explain) it could almost be made by/for Branston, especially when you realise that the manufacturer was Pickles....
No. 3
Someone somewhere still uses these......
No. 4
A machine made to do something associated more with hand work, this, or possibly engineering? But nonetheless a real woodworking machine
No. 5
It really big, but what can it do?
And finally No. 6
No, it's not a giant potato chipper, or even a potato chipper for giants. So what is it?
I take no responsibility for the lack of guarding on these machines other than to state the obvious - that orphan children workers were particularly cheap in the period when these machines were built (the 1920s and 1930s BTW).....
Enjoy!!! :lol:
