Anyone else immediately think of the Far Side cartoon "Tethercat"? Yeah, I didn't think of that either.

Is the mystery item used for cutting leather?

 

[plumies]

Yes, DrT!!! Can you also tell me what the cut leather is used for?

 

[pacanis]

Cut leather? It's used for dancing???

 

[plumies]

Not dancing.

How about horse tack?

 

[plumies]

Not horse tack.

 

[DrThunder88]

For shoes?

a ring blade for textiles?

 

[pacanis]

Nobody wanted to look for it?
It's a hand held stripper for cutting leather strips. It fits on your finger.

DrT guessed it too but I was looking for something specific that the leather was made into. In all fairness, I did not ask what the leather is used for after being cut so technically, DrT was the first to guess it.

Edit: BTW, it's called an Australian strander. And what I was looking for was whips (wa-peeesh)!

Oh, OK .....

Hey Dr T,

How about posting a pic?

 

[DrThunder88]

Sorry, didn't realize we weren't still guessing the object's use!

Here's an easy one.

You must be getting it confused with the illudium Q-36 explosive space modulator I mentioned earlier!

Nope so far! I'm going to bed, so I'll be back in a few hours.

 

[DrThunder88]

Okay, hint time. It's meant to spin.

 

[pacanis]

Some kiind of bore sighter?

Does something attach to it/does it attach to something? Does the whole thing spin or just the larger/smaller part?
