Sure you can guess!

Your blog is full of wonderful information 4D, thanks for sharing!

@Danl, was there damage this time around, should insurance get involved?

Seriously, that is what I was thinking, at the narrowed part of it, you can see the jagged jaws, just like a nutcracker would have.

"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. Additional What's It Rules Unless you are completely sure what this item is, please avoid "definitive statements" that appear that you are without a doubt claiming that you know what the item is. For example stating, "this item is called a "widget xx" used for "insert purpose here". If you are making a definitive statement you must accompany your statement with evidence or proof from a secondary source. An example of acceptable statements within the realm of having fun and educated guesses would be something like this, "I believe it could be", or "It appears it's made for this or that", etc etc etc... Ok ladies and gentlemen, we now have our "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.

Thanks Larry, I shared this on our social media accounts, getting the word out, good job sir.

Love the follow along RJ, thanks for doing this for us!

@Cliff, reading through the article, it sounds like the heat is going to last at least another 11 years, unless I misunderstood or misread. Here in SO Cal, we are really feeling it, we only have one season now, fire season, we are in a drought here, and I can't wait to get the heck out of here to greener land, just a few more years, just a few!

Dab, what a beautiful story for how you got started, and obviously for a wonderful woman, thank you for sharing this with us and you are in my prayers today, praying that you are doing well, and you are staying sane through it all, take care sir.

Names were drawn last night and announced this morning, sorry for the delay folks! Please see the original topic displaying the awardees next to each product supplied by our wonderful sponsors. I'd like to thank everyone once again for all your support, whenever we call, you answer. I have more to say but I need to head out the door and get to work, till later today, have a wonderful day, and again congratulations to our three folks who are walking away with some fantastic prizes! Please PM me your shipping addresses so we can get this processed ASAP.
