TheMitchells Posted March 1 Share Posted March 1 These were found recently in a tool shed and before I get rid of them, I hoped someone could tell me what they are. They are very heavy (all metal) and the prongs are exceedingly stiff and sharp. Any thoughts? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteamyTea Posted March 1 Share Posted March 1 There were some of those in my Father's shed. No idea what they were for either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

joe90 Posted March 1 Share Posted March 1 Funnily on tv recently was an article on weaving with horse hair and they used (bigger) versions of that to de tangle the horse hair like a comb 🤷♂️ 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Temp Posted March 1 Share Posted March 1 Some old tools for carding sheeps wool had very coarse spikes like that. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheMitchells Posted March 1 Author Share Posted March 1 well, I did not think they had anything to do with flower arranging but seems they may be. Also found a cuple of pictures which use them to shred flax. Thanks all - will keep them, just in case I need flax or similar shredded.😃 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When you start to make your own textiles or ropes in your spare time, remember to show us. I saw a basket being made from yucca (or was it aloe?) leaves, first shredding the leaves with a comb version of these. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Isn't basket weaving taught by therapists after one has a breakdown. May be useful info for self builders. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
