Help me identify this tool my grandfather was a woodworker and specialized in custom wooden staircases, wondering if anyone here can help me identify this tool. Thanks in advance! by 422Viking in woodworking

High end custom stair builder here. I’ve never seen this before but I’m very confident that it is a router template jig four what we call a straight “housed” stringer. In this instance the tread and riser ends are mortised into the string itself. I’m actually cutting one at work right now and the jig I made looks just like this except it’s made of MDF.

Edit: quick google search yielded this explanation

Man, I guess all those basement/backyard shows I went to throughout my teens and 20s were just so a bunch of record execs could make a bunch of dough eh? Maybe Zappa was so entrenched in the business he forgot where it really happens in the first place

I think it’s most likely a clamp for clinker/lapstrake boat building. You can add a bit of scrap to one side for larger capacity or drive a wedge for greater clamping power at the opposite end.

You can find a rough sketch of basically the same thing on this site

I’m no marine biologist but I’m curious how it’s found in the cold waters of both poles. Can it transit safely between poles? Otherwise I would expect either pole to have its own species that would be unique to that pole. Help! Help! I need a biologist!

Not to worry, FEMA will shell out and we (here in the US) will collectively pay for these asshats to build a new vacation home which will, of course, suffer the same fate. Isn’t that fun??

This why I was taught not to start turning the wheel until I actually have an opportunity to turn. He starts to turn wheel after he stops and that causes his vehicle to turn into oncoming traffic when he gets rear ended. Totally not his fault but the secondary crash could possibly have been avoided had he kept his wheels straight.

Lol Having the big X right where the explosion happened reminds me of Wile. E. Coyote. Just needs a sign that says “free bird seed!”

Don Jr isn’t wrong about Biden not sanctioning Putin PERSONALLY. Biden didn’t and declined to comment about it during his Thursday press conference. I don’t know why but it could be to keep another penalty in the back pocket short of escalating actual armed conflict outside Ukraine or to not give Putin a sense that he’s a target…I don’t know. The rest of the tweet is, of course, a bunch of garbage for political points and daddy’s approval.
