Wow – I have found a multi use tool ! It moulds (or molds) musket balls or removes nadgers !!

Might be useful when its time to get the cat done.

Look for a manufacturers name stamp (and inc.in your title) as this really helps boost re sale value

exactly gripping leverage just the thing for bending a thin sheet of tin

Watch this great video of tinsmith in Ireland. You will have to make sure your ears are in “translate” mode as it quiet some accent he has to be sure !

Number three a Froe – and in passing you may also like to know the expression “to and fro” comes from the word Froe beacuase you wiggle it to and fro to split wood.

Welcome to the forum.

If blackpugrecords is going to be your man down under can I be your man in the uk ?

I have extensive scavenging experience, been selling for 13 years on ebay and visit 3 boot sales a week during the season 🙂

Loaf rasp correct

But not for making bread crumbs. Back in olden days when bakers used wood fired ovens, some loaves got burnt around the edges and to save throwing them out the baker used this little gadget to “improve” them and make them saleable. A early form of scavenging – Jay and Ryanne would be proud of them !

My favourite tea is Marks and Spencer extra strong, it used to be Yorkshire tea but I think some “dumbing down” of strength has taken place recently.
