The spiked board is for shredding flax to separate the fibers. A handful of flax was held in the hand and thrown like a whip onto the spikes then pulled to separate the fibers. I think that using it for hemp would be another use for the tool.

Right! I've seen similar ones used in bygone days to comb out henequen (aka "sisal") fiber in the Yucatan area of Mexico.

ive seen something like that board with spikes in it before when working in wool industry .could be a tool once used in combing stage of shorn fleece wool production. probably done with machinery now . i think its the process after scouring wool to clean and remove tallow .

I think this one was more for separating fibers in hemp or other plants. It is too fine and the spikes are too long for wool. I would think. It was probably built and used on the same farm

Sorry, they did not hit the back of the plane with a hammer to "drive it through" but to loosen the blade for adjustment

was thinking the same thing - i have all of the sizes they showed and use the crap out of them, only way to set the blade is a tap at the back to loosen the set

at 10:44 It's not broken. It's called a caulker; in Dutch: breeuwhamer. It never had a handle, it was used together with a hammer. museumrotterdam.nl/collectie/item/48218

Many plane bodies were made of a fruit wood. Pear, apple or other type fruit wood. Your Jack plane appears to be pear but a closer examination i s needed to confirm.

is the board with spikes at 17:30 for shredding hemp to make rope?

is the tool at 5:03 a ice saw ? or a peet cutter?
@jonanderson51377 жыл бұрын
No, that's for cutting big round bales of hay.
@DreadX107 жыл бұрын
I think it's a peet-cutter fashioned from two hay-cutting blades. The distance between the blades is about the same as a peet-brick's length.
