Any idea's please

[justaskin]

Some time yesterday the object below was slung over my hedge. I have asked various people as to what it may be, with no positive results. Has any one seen a object like this and of what was it used for?

With long thin jaws like that I'd guess some kind of knife sharpening jig. The length allowing a shallow grind angle.

 

[Rod]

Sorry no idea - how big is it?
Does it open/clamp?

Rod

 

[Sparks]

Fly tying clamp perhaps?

 

[RogerS]

I'd go for a BENCH GRINDER SHARPENING VERSA-GRIND JIG

but I am cheating

Who remembers Scrit ? He used to come up with some photos of some fabulous old machinery and challenged us all to say what they were for.

Thank you Malcolm

I would go for Dressing a fly for a killer whale size trout.
But Rogers seems to make more sense, But why the unusual appearance.

Yes it’s a strange looking design. I can’t make out how the tool clamping works?

Slung over your hedge? Has there been any burglaries locally? Seriously, burglary scrotes are know to do that.

(Scrote. n. s, ne'er do well)

It’s part of a sharpening kit - Axminster sell it.

Thanks Rod. Having now seen the kit on Axi I ask myself as to why only that one bit was slung over the hedge?
Wonder who got the rest:?: :?

Richard, I gave an idea as to how it might have got there above.

Maybe some kind of Fence wire tensioning device ?
