Mum's been sorting out her shed and came across this that used to belong to my Dad. He was a model maker at Ford but she seems to think this was given to him by someone for something he was doing at home. I guessing it's an etcher of some kind.

It's a two-cutter plough plane.

I was expecting the answer to be 'Welshbeef' from the thread title.

Seems they were used to make the tongue side of tongue and groove floor boards. Well that's what Wikipedia says anyway.

Is this a thread for any tool identifying?
Dunno if there is another on the go?
But can anyone help with this one ?

I think the pin is too weedy to break a bike chain. Although it’s threaded so different sizes could be fitted

And then on the other hand seems a bit overkill for a watch strap pin.
Nothing to hold the watch with either.

Not sure what the dial is in the back plate

Definitely for watch pins. I have one the same in a drawer somewhere.
