And what the heck are these?

Looks like someone cut off piston heads and clamped them down. Perhaps for installing piston rings, but how do these help get them on the real thing?

One is from wood, the other welded and extremely heavy.

Wasted Gifts?

“It is not for kings, O Lemuel, it is not for kings to drink wine; Nor for princes to say, Where is strong drink? / אַ֤ל לַֽמְלָכִ֨ים ׀ לְֽמוֹאֵ֗ל אַ֣ל לַֽמְלָכִ֣ים שְׁתוֹ־יָ֑יִן וּ֝לְרוֹזְנִ֗ים (או) [אֵ֣י] שֵׁכָֽר׃” -Proverbs 31:7 (from sefaria org…)

This verse, and the song C’est Normal, by Brigitte Fontaine, which is sadly hilarious, are my favorite illustrations (aside from the scene in the series Sherlock: “How dare you waste your gifts! How dare you throw away the beautiful gifts you were born with.” -thank you, Molly…), of the reason that it is so important to build community that has a sense of purpose, structure, and self-discipline, rather than mere hedonism. How much more could we accomplish if we used the resources being spent on intoxicating substances to help others in need of basic food, clothing, and transportation?

This was a very interesting read and I learned a lot from it

I have a question! 🙋‍♀️

This is a question about tools 🛠️

Does a socket handle which is like a crank/winch handle exist? And does it have a special name?

I’m looking for a simple version of the one in the picture (so without the torque multiplier). Needs to be able to have standard sockets popped on the end.

Any ideas? Interweb searches haven’t brought much back, but I might just not know the name of them thing I’m looking for…
