August 5, 20187 yr "What's It" Basic Rules Reminder (For a full run down on this project and rules please go to: "The Patriot Woodworker and MWTCA "What's It" project") Only Patriot Woodworker Members are eligible to participate and receive the award. The MWTCA only accepts a verified source to support your answer, so one should be submitted with your answer, such as a patent, catalog entry, tool book reference, or a respectable website on the subject. Do not let these requirements prevent you from having fun and submitting educated answers on the subject without verification, we can worry about references later. All answers are welcome, as well as healthy debates regarding "What's It". If a verified and referenced answer is not arrived at by the end of each month's "What's It" project, a random draw will be performed for a "One Year MWTCA Club Membership". Only Patriot Woodworker's who participate in this "What's It" topic will be included in the random draw. Ok ladies and gentlemen, we now have our August "What's it" live and ready! The image(s) below is a MWTCA "What's It" image for you to research, and tell us all here in this topic post, just what the heck is it! Project details The information provided hereon is all the information that is provided, no further information on this item will be added. Remember, "What's It" is not always woodworking related! ATTENTION: The above prize may not be available if the July What's It is successfully solved. However, our prize offering of membership into MWTCA is always available in lieu of the grand prize. Thank you! A Chicago Scriber for?

August 8, 20187 yr hmmm.... i didn't know, but now i do. guess no prize for me this month. i did mis-place a glass cutter last year. had to get a new one. sigh. first one is still missing.
September 2, 20187 yr Author Sorry for my tardiness, again, on submitting the answer to MWTCA. I will get it off this weekend end, and assign another What's It as well for Sept. @p_toad, great job!
September 2, 20187 yr Pulling for Pete on this one...seems a "no brainer" with his find and detail, but you never know. Go Pete!
September 3, 20187 yr Thanks, but like i said, i just looked it up on the web. Someone else actually found that thing and dug out the patent no. All i did was copy their info. Anyway, bring on the new!
