1616 Looks to be a coin sorter
ReplyDelete1617 A pulley sheave. Flared end is for rope clearance.
ReplyDelete1620 For measuring moisture level in wood, maybe? Top scale looks like resistance (INF being infinity, of course). Bottom scale could be percent moisture.
ReplyDelete1615 looks like a device to crimp wire around a load of some sort.
ReplyDelete1616 -- automatic coin sorter/counter
ReplyDelete1618 -- geyser tube, fill the tube with mentos, screw onto a soda bottle and invert
1618 -- Alex, no need to invert. The key in the first picture keeps the Mentos in place while the top with the small hole is screwed back on.

1619 is a metalsmithing hammer. My guess is that it's used for planishing....smithspeak for smoothing.
