No not you lot these

Do any of you know what they are? I've not been around for a while as
I've been living in 3 different holiday lets waiting to complete on our
new workshop, sorry I mean new home:-)

Currently having great fun sorting out all the junk the previous owner
left in the workshop. Electric drill, sander, hot air gun, lawn
scarifier, strimmer, chain saw, lawn feed spinner, and a whole rack of
garden tools. Plus so much more including 3 wheel barrows and a cement
mixer! They all work and there are even spare wheels for the barrows.

I'm not confident the workshop is going to be big enough, its only 21ft
x 65ft :-)

I can beat that easily:-) Further more I have a witness!

Are they for wood turning?

Well you learn something every day - I had never heard of those, but it
sounds like chair makers are very fond of them.

I would expect them to go into a brace... those in the picture look like
they have something akin to the tapered square section normally seem on
the "bit".

Perhaps I should take up spindle back chair making.

I'm quite relieved at the explanation. My mother was a gynaecologist,
and I'm sure she had similar bits and pieces in her surgery.
