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.

    • The stop outside the chippy was still closed earlier today, although the barriers I saw yesterday have been removed, so no need for the closure.  The stop outside the church across the road is now uncovered and open
    • You all have different and conflicting interests though. It isn't necessarily appropriate for him to communicate with all of you at the same time about the same issues.    You're giving more away with each post as to how these difficulties probably arose. 
    • @CPR Dave He needs to communicate collectively with all of the beneficiaries.  That is the whole point of my original post.  Electronic communications are the best way of doing this, as I am doing now on this forum.  Apart from the gold digger who will get a six figure sum the rest of us are on four figures, and that is going down by the day. I'm offended by any suggestion that we are not behaving well.  What on earth do you mean?  
    • Surprise, surprise. It didn't take them long, did it. This will be something of a test as to how much the council really care about parks and the environment. A footfall of 60,000. Are they mad? There is no way this park is designed for or can sustain that sort of use. Just had a look at the schedule. If allowed to go ahead, this will involve a large slice of the park (not the common) sectioned off and out of use for three weeks of May and the first week of June. Here's an idea, why not trial the festival in one of the other Southwark Parks, so the 'goodness' can be shared around the borough?
