If I'm not mistaken, I sold the Excel that has slots in the pedal bar that look like they would fit that to a guy in Alaska named Larry Allen,,,,I think he is a member of the forum.

I have seen hundreds of those. It's a clutch depression fork for a 1938 Ford Coupe.

And the bullsh*t prize goes to... Ned McIntosh. With the accent firmly on "tosh" - excellent stuff, Ned.

Sounds good enough to me Ned.8) I'll drink to that one. Thank you, I'll have another Fosters please, barman, but this time I'll have a whiskey chaser to go with it. ;-)

Rest assured gentlemen it's a lot easier reading that stuff than writing it! :D
The steel guitar is a hard mistress. She will obsess you, bemuse and bewitch you. She will dash your hopes on what seems to be whim, only to tease you into renewing the relationship once more so she can do it to you all over again...and yet, if you somehow manage to touch her in that certain magic way, she will yield up a sound which has so much soul, raw emotion and heartfelt depth to it that she will pierce you to the very core of your being.

In our time-honoured Australian tradition, Ned has shown once more that 'bulldust baffles brains'. And to be honest, I was taken in by it. I'd heard that the turbo-entabulator was either a Nazi plot or an attempt to get the Queen's face off the five-dollar bill. Now I have egg on my face.

Everyone on the west coast of Oregon and Washington - plus all of Alaska knows exactly what that is - it's a poacher's crab gauge :D

I am quite familiar with the turbo-encabulator, I suspect that the turbo-entabulator (with a "t", not a "c", see Wikipedia) is the more advanced version that also has lower duractance. Is this correct? I've been losing sleep over wondering about this thorny issue!

Steve is correct , its a tool used in setting up a Turbo-entabulator
this video should help

If you don't have any luck getting a reliable answer you can always use the tool to tighten the cleats on your golf shoes.

Maybe it's a piece of waste metal left over when another shape was cut out.
When I worked in a factory with a steel-cutting laser machine we would end up with all sorts of shapes left over, which would be thrown into the scrap bin to be melted down. Anyone going through our scrap bin without knowing that it was scrap could puzzle for hours about what the pieces were for. :lol:
