I was thinking of what I would offer for a "guess what this is" and I visualized Gary's last one. Oh, and a few old garden tools. None of which I have handy to photograph. Any one of my siblings could identify many arcane tools that might date back to the 1800's. Some things can look pretty variable depending on where or how they are used. I've used a potato ricer to make applesauce for instance.
Was it a "Foley's" food mill, last month, Gary?
An adze and a weed whacker most recently ..?
I once considered work with an adze when I was building a floor in a log cabin (years ago). Pretty much gave up on the idea and just whacked at some pine poles with a sharp ax before laying plywood and subfloor.
Bought a grubbing hoe way back then but it has never been very useful. Later, I found a Pulaski in the woods near my gardens (many years later ). The Pulaski has been handy at times for cultivating tasks but I'm getting a little olde for those kinds of things.
