This week's What is It? game, brought to you by the fantastic What is It? blog is ... a hammer - but what kind of hammer? (i.e. what is it used for? It has a specific function). Can you guess what it is?
No prize this week, so you're playing for bragging rights. For more guessing fun, check out What is It? blog ...
Update 1/26/07 - The answer is: "Drill sharpening hammer, for reshaping points on the large star drills used for making blasting holes in mines, it's held against the bit and struck with a sledge hammer." Congrats to Chris Worsley (#12)!
I have one, with the pin in the center and have been guessing about it fot years. It does fit an old drill bit I have. I did use it to make some interesting copper conchos against a urethane block
Darwin award ftw.
