Guess The Tool

[Marq]

Made and used by my wife.....but what for.....and whats her hobby?

[adrianh]

I think that it is a pantograph use to enlage various patterns. Could be dress making patterns or engraving patterns.

[AndyD]

I think you could be right Adrian, I had a pentograph when I was a kid. I don't see the static foot and the pen/pencil holder on Marq's picture though and I'm confused why the 3 tips have been made to a point.

[Dave A]

The hobby is knitting, and the purpose of the pantograph is to aid counting the number of stitches in a row.

[Marq]

No it is not a pentagraph. And the hobby is not knitting, dressmaking or engraving.
It could probably be used for engraving.....depends what you were engraving.
Andy is quite correct, it is a bit different.

It is a tool to cut out donut shapes from paper. Used for scrapbooking.

Its a tool for matching either writing or patterns - not sure of the name, but I think you put one of the points on the writing and then move the thing and it makes the writing bigger.

Oops sorry I see pantograph has already been mentioned ..............

No - does not cut anything, does not write anything.

Clue?

Clue 2

It scratches your nuts and your belly button at the same time ......

[AndyD]

Hmm, if it doesn't cut or write anything then maybe it's a checking fixture for verifying the accuracy or size of something.

This is possible and as a hobby for your wife mmmm..........quite rewarding I would imagine.....but no.

maybe it's a checking fixture for verifying the accuracy or size of something
