Yeah, I think it is just a double ended screwdriver bit. It has been ground corner to corner to get the blade as wide as possible hence the interesting geometric type shape. It probably started out as a simple square bar and was then rounded in the middle and then ground to a taper, edge on to form the blade shape. I could of course be completely wrong and it might be some sort of primitive surgical instrument!

I can't be sure but it looks like some sort of reversable tool that can be used at either end, kind of like those double ended drill bits that you get? Perhaps a picture from another angle would "shed some more light"?

Think of a wood screw that is around 150mm long and around 12mm thick at the shank.

I believe those are brace bits. We use one quite often. It is very useful for driving the massive screws that go through a piano frame into the wooden back posts.

I didn't click it.

Little Stanley is not so little anymore! Here he is snuggled up in his little sister's bed.

Lurker lane must be extra clear.

Brilliant!

I must go pay these guys a visit.

Very nice. And precisely how it would have been "in the old days"

Sad but true.

Bok coaches, SA franchises to plot NZ downfall Cape Town - At last. After years where the Springbok team was almost rendered as less important than the provinces, South African rugby is going to stand together in pursuit of beating the All Blacks. The SA Rugby Union announced on Tuesday that they will host the first ever “national coaches’ indaba” in Cape Town from October 19-21. http://www.iol.co.za/sport/rugby/springboks/bok-coaches-sa-franchises-to-plot-nz-downfall-2070702

What was it that made his arm strong again?

They aren't actually cork. I have ordered them and been using them for over a year now and still holding up very nicely. They are the regular high density foam type ones. At that price you could replace them once a week and not even notice the cost!

Ah yes. We really enjoyed it too. And it really is a very tactile, sensory experience to grind your coffee beans in a machine like this. The sounds, the smells, the vibrations through the handle. It really gets the salivary glands going before you even start to make the coffee.

Ja, I was really fortunate to find mine. And it is the number 4, the biggest one they made.

Or you could scratch around at your local charity shops for one of these, strip it down, fix it up and make niiiiice coffee.

It is played with a plectrum or fingers like a guitar I suppose. You can also hit the strings with spoons kind of like a dulcimer. I think it would be classified as a zither.

All made with left over bits and pieces from my piano workshop.

My son in grade 4 came home with instructions to make a musical instrument for school. We got stuck in and this was the result.

So simple, and yet to the majority of South African drivers, nigh on impossible.

I saw this today on social media.

Yup. Patrick "skrik-vir-niks" Lambie.He is not afraid of anyone. He just keeps on putting in tackle after tackle like a loose forward.
