May 9, 20188 yr Grand Prize We are proud to offer a Woodriver No. 63 Low Angle Jack Plane to this months "What's It" winner. This months "What's It" is sponsored by our supporter Woodcraft Supply. Originally advertised as a plane for heavy stock removal across the grain, the No. 62 has found a home as a smoother and is quite popular among collectors. The WoodRiver® No. 62 is faithful to the original design, but is almost a full pound heavier at approximately 4.6 lbs. It features a body cast from ductile iron, with a bed angle of 12°, a bubinga tote and front knob, and a high-carbon steel blade with a 25° bevel. The plane measures a little less than 14" in length x 2-7/16" in width and has a 2"-wide blade.

May 9, 20188 yr Its a tethering fixture. It can hold up to four animals always males. Preferably one at a time. The next procedure is quite simple just a quick motion and their voice is now higher. Wait a few months and it dinner time. Preston
May 9, 20188 yr Don't know what it is but they needed more than one. The object in the second picture was made by a skilled blacksmith while the object in the rest of the pictures was made by a person with less skills.
May 9, 20188 yr At first thought it was a pendulum for watching till saw as connected on the end so.....Firewood carrier , homemade. Put the wood on the plank and hook the chains on and carry by handle.
May 9, 20188 yr Seems like the recesses in the board are at the opposite angle they should be to hook the ring on the chains. Looks heavy to carry anything such as firewood. Was thinking something round (like a pipe) goes between the recesses and the rings. Roly
May 9, 20188 yr I think Gerald and Roly are on to it. Pipes fit over the pegs and the chain rings go over the pipes when full of firewood. Chains go further down the pipes as it is used up and keeps the remaining pieces from falling out and dinging the floor.

May 9, 20188 yr 12 minutes ago, It Was Al B said: A portable stable for feeding oxen or mules. 4 on each side needs to be inverted for that...
May 9, 20188 yr The rings on the chains would be attached to the halters to stable. Obvious now it couldn't be used for feeding
May 10, 20188 yr Author I see a clue that could determine when it wasn't made, time period anyway. It's in the fabrication of the iron. Anyone else see it? Also those chains are not attached to the wood block at all. They are there to support something.
May 10, 20188 yr they are two separate items... the tells are the chain attachment, feet and top handle... one model has current forged chain and chain hardware... the timbers are different also... Edited May 10, 20188 yr by Stick486
May 10, 20188 yr The photos appear to be at least 3 different versions of the item, with the second photo probably the newer version
