The parts do not move so not used to tension / bend wood..


I do not therefore think it is a tool.


Perhaps part or a display stand. Central hole tightened round upright pole..


Then smaller rods that fit in the groves on the main arm.


Possibly to hold Display lighting.

Just to expand on my original post, the "item" came together with other wood working tools - plane, set square, brace, mortice gauge, rebate plane etc etc all these items were in the side cupboard of the woodworkers bench which I acquired from the owners widow.

He hobby was carpentry.


All said , I am convinced it is some sort of tool associated with carpentry. The two outer bits each have a small leaf spring to keep the jaws apart.


Any further suggestions would be most welcome.

As someone who done chemistry at school and held a Saturday and beyond job at Boots The Chemist in that Clapham Junction I'd've said that looked far too woody and thuggish to clasp a test tube.


But as Lou Reed groaned in that song on 'Berlin' 'juuust goes to show how wrong you can be'.


Blimey.

    • Memes top of lordship haircut shampoo blow dry about £25  dulwich barbers hair cut about£22  jazzes haircut about £26 
    • Re Day One, £52 for a short hair cut (cut & styling) and £72 for a long hair cut (cut & styling) which I believe is below the ears.  £38 for a blow dry which doesn’t appear to be included in the cut price as it’s not mentioned.  £15 for a fringe tidy.      I remember being startled to be charged separately for a blow dry by the salon that used to be in Melbourne Grove but is now closed down.  I was asked if I wanted a blow dry after the cut and highlights and said yes, but wasn’t told that I would be charged separately.  Only found out when I went to pay the bill.    Was offered a voucher on a further appointment.    De.Salon which used to be Cut-Throat in Peckham (Choumert Rd and Brixton) charge from £45 for a Short haircut that finishes by the ears.  They charge from £40 for any haircut that finishes below the jawline.  Their prices include a blow dry.  But if you have thick hair they charge an extra £15 for every additional 15 minutes for cutting.     I had my hair cut there before the name change.  I don’t understand the from part of the price. Had a look at the Blue Tit pricing which is very complicated. They charge depending on the stylist’s  experience.  Crab Salad in Peckham  -  short hair cut above the ear - from £69.    Long hair Cut below the ear from £80. Blow dry not mentioned as being included in the cut but is priced at £55 I noticed that Kuki charge different prices for men and women.  Doesn’t seem right if a woman has short hair and a man has long hair.   I used to go to a great salon in NW London  that charged the same price for men and women and stopped going when they upped their prices for women.
