MikeRock Report post Posted August 11, 2022 (edited) I copied this from an old woodworking hand tool group I frequent. Any ideas what this is? " Just created a Flickr album showing a front and side view of a mystery ( presumably ) leatherworking tool. The business end looks like it would cut a narrow square-sided groove. The purpose of the offsets, and the adjustable brass parts, is a total mystery. What was this tool used for?"

fredk Report post Posted August 11, 2022 It looks like a picture framers groove/rebate maker. For cutting or marking wood strips for the rebate which takes the glass and picture in picture frames. Some picture framers use a cabinet makers rebate, aka rabbit, plane Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Northmount Report post Posted August 11, 2022 @MikeRock Please - as has been requested many times on LW, upload your photos here instead of using 3rd party hosting. If the host or you change anything that affects the link to photos on the host site, then the photos will not be accessible to future readers of this post, making the thread useless. If you have trouble resizing photos, there are a lot of tips and helps on https://leatherworker.net/forum/topic/15122-how-to-post-pictures-on-lw/?do=findComment&comment=551171 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
