Puzze Pic: What Is This Thing?

I bet its something to do with injecting the jam into a doughnut or something??!!!!

well it looks like its made out of stainless(?) the handle looks like it could be hollow up to the needles..... the doughnut is squashed in to the space and the handle inserts the needles to inject the jam.....

I give up!!!!!

"Item is to be held in left hand, lockdown screw is tightened with right hand"

... don't think this is significant, as it looks like a tool is needed to lock the position. I'd have agreed if it was a knurled knob, or similar.

PlbMak,

Could it be a canvas stretcher for placing a canvas on a frame to get it ready to paint? I was a little overwhelmed by all the posts, and I apologize if anyone has already guessed it.

That is my guess too...........from the "clue"............don't confuse the arts with art.

We know from post #10 its something having to do with art from PlbMak's statement

"Come on guys! You should be thinking in the area of the arts. NOTHINGS illegal there!"

I think its something like this tool used for felting, although it looks like the one we are guessing about is some sort of pliers which would only be useful around an edge on something not so thick. That is all I got, hope someone else has a better idea, or we get more clues.

That's exactly what the nurse used recently to make the holes in the skin before the doctor did the stitching.

But it looks more like the sensor head of a moisture detector probe for wooden poles or handles?

It's adjustable!

This thing might be used to graft limbs of fruit trees. This holds the graft in place while the wrapping is accomplished.

It is a 'droop begone', the thought of using it cures the problem.

OK, I give

A device to remove stubborn pepper from pepper pot holes!

Why does it prick the object it holds with a pattern a bit like this:-

And why there are slots on the bottom plate too where no man pin has ever gone before ?

In case the object is small enough for the pins to reach the adjustable plate. Hmmm.

Nope: the pins are aligned above the solid part of the movable plate.

The pattern of holes is really puzzling. The six pins led me to think braille, but there is no braille character with that pattern. If the pins were there just for traction, then the pattern would not need need to so strange.

I'm for the simple solution -- we lynch PlbMak.

need need to so strange

I need to hire a poof neader.

With this Puzze Pic (BTW in Urdu Puzze means bad- it is infact Pazi but ..)

Jeez give us the answer before we have to come round there and give you a damn good taste of the comfy chair.

That's a good idea - a CR4 excursion to East Anglia to give PlbMak a right seeing-to.

Yer damn right ! He's pushed the boundaries of taunting, lets get flaming torches and go seek him out. At this very minute, he's probably sitting on a mountain of carrots/turnips/peas/turkey, cackling away to himself and swigging cider. It's time to get revolting with him !

Is it a do it yourself acupuncturer?

Thanks to all who took part, I must say it has been enormously satisfying to find something that you lot couldn't identify. After all, there are one or two quite clever people out there.

And now, the answer!

It is in fact a piano tuner's voicing pliers, used to pierce and hence refresh the piano's felt hammers to improve the tone. After a lot of use the felt gets compressed and the piano no longer sounds like it should.

I think if there was a prize for getting closest, it would have to go to frankd20, he was heading in the right direction!

Surely frankd20 could have one of Hendrik's GOOZ cards as a prize?

What if we don't believe you ! I suppose it might account for some players style; 'oops, left me tuner on the seat....'

Hang on! The inference here is that you would believe anyone!

Nahh....

....of course I do. How else can I trap doorstep conmen, other than by feigning an earnest interest. Once or twice a year I check the trap to see how my colection is coming along. It's like a step beyond the poacher turned gamekeeper scenario.

Ah nice one!

Next.....

hmmm, it can be a part of some sort of tattoo machine :)

I don't know what it is but I'm excited!

I don't know what it's called but it sure matches the pattern that the aliens left on my butt after they probed abducted me!

Is used as a canvas stretcher for painting frames?

An element of a corona treater?
