even cut a notch in thin sheet metal.

595. Template for pistol making? Getting the trigger in the right place

596. For stirring something. Acids maybe because of the glass handle.

594 Nibbling tool. For sloppy, lazy people (like me) to cut thin sheet
metal. Shove against the edge of the sheet metal and squeeze the handles.
It bites a small rectangle out of the sheet. Leaves sharp edges.

597 Miner's carbide lamp. Put calcium carbide in the bottom. Put water in
the top. Gas pressure in the bottom regulates water dripping into the
bottom. Water and calcium carbide react to make acetylene gas.

The gold-colored thing in the moving strip is a mountainclimbing item-
put it in a crack, pull on it, the cams expand out and wedge into the
crack.

The red and gray thing- from a tape deck? Rewind, FFwd, stop?

593 - Water or gas shut off tool.

594 - nibbler tool (used to cut thin plastic or THIN sheet metal, or my
favorite use which is to make square sided holes in panels for switches)

595 - Flint type igniter for a torch set. Pull the trigger and it sends
a bunch of sparks out the front.

596 - Looks like a beaker paddle.

597 - Carbide hand light

598 - Small part of the face of a playing card.

Everything else has been identified in previous games.

I have to disagree with the consensus so far on
item 594. If it were a sheet metal nibbler it would
cut 3 sides to punch out a chunk. This thing appears
to only cut 2 sides and would simply fold the piece
over and not punch it out. Unless there is a missing
die piece to the tool.
The backside also looks like a hole punch. If it were
an alignment pin I think it would be engaged in the
hole for the full travel of the moving head.
That said, I have no idea what it's for.

According to R.H. :
The latest set has just been posted:

http://puzzlephotos.blogspot.com/

O.K. Posting from rec.crafts.metalworking again.

593) A wrench, probably for something like a shutoff valve buried in
the ground with the pointed pick on one side of the handle for
hooking and removing a cover plate.

594) One of the forms of sheet metal nibblers. This one looks as
though the plate which should be below the metal being cut is
somehow raised too high by a spring.

595) Now this is a weird one. Looking at the lighting bolts on the
"muzzle" end, I suspect that it is a spark lighter using
something like the flints in old cigarette lighters and a wheel
spun by the trigger.

596) A stirrer for mixing chemicals -- for example photographic
chemicals.

597) A miner's carbide lamp. The top is filled with water, the
bottom with lumps of calcium carbide, and the lever along the
top allows control of the rate at which the water drips into the
carbide.

The combination of the water and the carbide produces acetylene,
which feeds through a nozzle in the reflector. Some of them
have a flint and wheel so they can be lit without needing a
match or other source of flame.

598) Extreme close-ups of "face" playing cards -- Kings, queens, or
jacks.

599) I'm not positive which of these is the one which has not been
shown before, but I *think* that it is the one with the three
"sticks". (How do we identify the one which we are answering
about?) O.K. I see that while all are "Album 3", this one is
"loop4.jpg".

Anyway -- I *think* that these are arc welding rods. The metal
is too fat (and the color is wrong) to be the other guess, a
"sparkler" from 4th of July fireworks collections.

Now to see what others have guessed.

Enjoy,
DoN.

Don't think so. Sparklers have a metallic texture. These look like
they are porous and somewhat soft, just like punks.

Some do, some don't. The ones that burn 'magnesium white', do have
the metallic texture to them, agreed. some that burn other colors
(e.g. blue or red), are much less metallic looking.

loop6 - I think it's a clamp for retaining a spring. Maybe for auto

loop7 - Textured handle? Non-slip flooring?

Maybe, but from the scaling I'd gues it to be pretty large. 4" maybe?
I'd say something more like a cannon ball.

Thanks for mentioning the screw, that's how it was when I got it at the flea
market. As mentioned on the answer page, I didn't realize the end plate was
stuck on the cutter, but after hammering it off, this tool is back in it's
original shape. It works a whole lot better now that it's been repaired.;^)

Sorry about the misleading photos in the OP.

I use firefox, and have it set up disable Javascript by default. Too
many sites have attacks that use Javascript, and I hate pop-ups.
Anyhow - a box appears that tells me Javascript is requested. If I
feel confident, I enable it either temporarily or permanently.


But to answer your question -

http://www.webaim.org/discussion/mai...ge.php?id=4450
says 4 to 13% have disabled javascript

http://www.webmasterworld.com/forum89/7065.htm

says says 11% - but I can't duplicate his search to get the latest numbers.

I do (turn off javascript). I have an extension for firefox (NoScript)
that lets me selectively turn it on for a given host, domain, etc...
even on a temporary basis.

I normally don't do it for any site I'm not using in a work related way:
usually university applications & such. If a site requires javascript
for navigation I may not bother with it.

It depends upon the site. If I am going to a well-known (to me)
site, I may turn on JavaScript (or Java), but normally they are off,
because I know the nasty things which can be done by abusing them.

Granted, most of those nasty things are aimed at Windows
systems, so my unix boxen are less vulnerable so far -- but who knows
when someone will target an attack at the various unix systems.

I happened to have it on when I visited your site last, but a
warning that JavaScript is needed is a polite thing to do.

I used to have it off more of the time, before moving to Opera
as a browser, which does an excellent job of blocking pop-ups. (So does
Mozilla with the right options set, but Opera is a faster browser at the
moment -- and it has fewer things enabled which might be problems.)

FWIW -- I *refuse* to install the plugin for ShockWave Flash. I
have yet to see anything that it does which I *need* done, and once when
I did have it installed, I found strange processes running after I
exited the browser. It took me a while to yank out Flash by its roots.
I have the same feelings about RealAudio.

I *might* install them for special purposes -- *if* the browsers
would offer the ability to simply turn them on and off from a menu as
you can with Java and JavaScript.

Most of the time, I have cookies turned off, too.

Enjoy,
DoN.
