Name that Tool

[Farmer Connie]

So some sort of manual incubator humidifier thingy then?

Nah I'm thinking it's to ad water to a bator without lifting the lid. That's what I'd use it for anyway...but I'm weird so...

BINGO!
Homemade modification tool for just that. It allows for liquid to be added or removed to an incubator w/o opening the lid.
It slips thru the top vent hole-

And thru the grate-

Excellent tool for controlling humidity during lock down periods.

Homemade but a tool never the less. Necessity is the mother of invention.

Yep winner it's a old cast iron egg carton press made in chicago - from the way back machine.

This is a like model that you can see more clearly (sneaky aren't I?)

Who's next?

 

[CrealCritter]

Was it used to harvest ice from lakes in pre-refrigeration times?

Yes... That's it's intended use!!! Would you happen to know the name of the tool?

 

[Nardo]

It's for making ice beads for Bumble the Abominable Snow Monster. He uses Hermey's dental floss to string them.

I've always referred to it as the zombie head basher... Because I watch too much Walking Dead... Lol

Tried to upload a pic of mine but didn't work. The handle is broken, I didn't realize how long it was supposed to be!

So my husband said these were originally designed for moving logs downstream. They rode on top of the logs and used the pikes to break up logjams. A lot of people fell between the logs and died. Happy job huh? Then someone realized they would also work for harvesting ice. He knows them as log pikes.

I am now the proud owner of a broad fork. My boss' hubby made one for me.

Sounds fun

Anyone else got a Tool, Gadget or Gizmo for the next one?

Just need a picture and hint to get started.

It's a fun way to learn about new things.
