not so much modern, as simply part of the industrial revolution. A gaslighters spill plane before streetlights. Or a bartenders.DarenN wrote:yep! that's what i thought too. a modern ancient tool.Vibe wrote: I think you are correct.

Re: Mystery Tool 67
yeah, i get ya. i can see the progression through the industrial revolution. a lot of the tools i use in metal work haven't changed much since the early 1900's.Vibe wrote:not so much modern, as simply part of the industrial revolution.

I can see the resemblance to the previous example in his link -though I think that the blade angle is wrong for that purpose, and the "spill" opening looks restricted.zelph wrote:Daren, what makes you think it's a "Spill Plane"?
And it's hard to tell if that is a pivoting base, or an adjustment relating to the two screws on the exit end base.

Re: Mystery Tool 67
the resembalence is in the tool aspect, that is, the function performed on the object, not in the appearance or materials of the tool. a yellow wood pencil and a marks-a-lot don't look much alike, but they both put a dark line on a paper.

what makes you think it isn't?zelph wrote:Daren, what makes you think it's a "Spill Plane"?

the two screws are nothing more than a blade clamp. in the pic, you can just see the tail end of the blade hanging out the bottom of the boss.
if it isn't a spill plane it would sure as hell make spills anyways!!

""Where is the resemblance?""
how can you not see the resemblance?
