more from the hardware book!


Ever heard of Soldering Salts? Not me


I've heard of bar lead, it's what body guys used to lead a seam on cars, but Pig Tin? Bar Tin? Never heard of them before 


the sheer variety is unreal... every variety of some item, like these forks, and I'd only ever heard of hay forks and common pitch forks before now



so reading these name... shaving fork? And how is a sugar beet fork better for beets than any of the others that are so similar? 



another example of a crazy number of varieties, is the number of rakes


Ever heard of a wood tooth rake? or a dandelion rake? 


How about a Lawn Comb? 



and these are something I've never heard of, weed diggers, and weed pullers



interesting... not a shovel or scoop... it's just the same as a snow rood rake



Ever heard of a Snath? 



It's been about 40 years since I've swung a grass whip... before the inexpensive weed whacker, this got the job done, slowly, like you were trying to make perfect gold club swings 


What a wicked knife! This should have shown up in some slasher horror movie



Corn knife and Hay knife... 



I've never heard of these shears called Heimerdingers before


outstanding tool, why have I never seen or heard of one? 


It goes without saying, these garden hose repair parts are something I wish we'd had when I was a kid... them must have worked perfectly with a couple hose clamps




seriously, if a hanging tube of foul smelling stuff kept dogs off yards, there would be a lot of years that dogs would avoid 



these are something... double sided gloves! 




and lastly, things with wheels! These seem to be nicely mechanically complex







ever heard of a chicken chaser? Kept pigs from hunting chickens when they got hungry


these are ORNAMENTAL trailer hitches!
