Del's Random "What Are They?" Quiz

10/03/2018 12:22 PM

I've just made these, which is a bit of a clue for those familiar with my peccadilloes .
So what are they?

Your picture is called a capo but that clearly is not what Del has fabricated.

And a very crude one at that. Looks really difficult to adjust, which is normally done often, to suite the song and the singer.

My WAG is these are clamps used for arrow or quarrel straightening.

My guess would be clamps to hold the ends of a cross bow (or other stiff bow) to bend it for stringing.

If that scale is mm, they are really small, which makes them all the more impressive, whatever they may be.

A pair of small clamps, of course.

They actually look to be the right size to clamp my two cats tails together after getting them stoned on this new catnip/silvervine mixture I picked up for them. This stuff really blows their little minds.... Sounds like hours of fun for me.

Please keep this on the down low and don't tell Del.

What? I already did? oops....

( peccadilloes),, I thought those were toes, and perhaps these were clamps to hold that crooked toe in place...

Cross between a peccary and an armadillo. Could be a peccadillo or an armary.

The armary holds the peccadillo while it's being fired.
