Something for hanging things off so they stretch like leather or wool or pelts

Or a set of swings for very athletic mice

You sure its on this planet?

Could we find it in New Zealand?

Could I buy this in a shop?

I obviously can't eat it but is it something to do with food?

Flower press?

Something used for stretching - for example building a picture frame and putting a canvas on it?

A pasta making machine
Title: Re: What is it - Object 145?

Yes you could buy one, but would probably have to go searching mas would be hard to find.
I just had a quick look on trademe but could not find one.

Nothing to do with a vehicle.

No to squirrels and their nuts :)

No to pasta machine.

ok a clues:
This is not something that would be used much these days. Those using it would be more art and craft groups.
You would have to be taught how to use it. It is not something you can plonk down and away you go.
If you wanted it to be used it more likely you would pay someone to gain the 'finished product'.

Title: Re: What is it - Object 145?
Post by: JennyLeez on August 05, 2016, 02:08:09 PM
No

Stay away from anything to do with fabrics :)

Jewellry

Post by: JennyLeez on August 08, 2016, 12:55:55 PM
No to jewelry.
Think Art and Craft groups. What else do they make.
Remember anything fabric is out.
The photo above would be used to make these on a larger scale but Art and Craft groups would make them using smaller machines and also by hand.

A stretching rack used at Guantanomo, but not for the prisoners of course - that would be mean. It would be for the mice. Yes, the mice.... thats it!
Title: Re: What is it - Object 145?

Turning hanks of wool into balls?

Carpets
Rugs
Furniture
Paintings
Candle making
Stretching rack ??????
Wool into balls

No to the above. Stay away from anything fabric or material type of thing.
However a tape of sorts would be used. The tape of sorts would hang from the hooks :)

Valerie art and crafts groups could use. Probably a smaller frame.
So taking away fabric stuff what else do art and craft groups make.

Something to do with book binding?

I am thinking that it holds the stitching that you use to bind books.
