Brendon_t Posted May 19, 2016 Report Share Posted May 19, 2016 It's an old white clamp. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brendon_t Posted May 19, 2016 Report Share Posted May 19, 2016 Just now, shaneymack said: White? I see green. Festool clamp? Sent from my SM-N910W8 using Tapatalk Well now you do. Looks like a drill press clamp. The cleat on the bottom slides into the slots on the table. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Llama Posted May 19, 2016 Report Share Posted May 19, 2016 I was going to guess this is a fence for a plane... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Westy Posted May 19, 2016 Author Report Share Posted May 19, 2016 Tried it on drillpress. Doesn't fit. But thank you for the suggestion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wtnhighlander Posted May 19, 2016 Report Share Posted May 19, 2016 I think it is not a clamp to squeeze parts together. Looks like the screw just attaches it to a table. That hook thing on the back has some purpose, I am sure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Westy Posted May 19, 2016 Author Report Share Posted May 19, 2016 My thoughts also. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wtnhighlander Posted May 19, 2016 Report Share Posted May 19, 2016 Did your father do much painting? Like, the outside of the house? The only thing that comes to mind is a hook you can clamp to a ladder rung, and hang a paint can from it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chet Posted May 19, 2016 Report Share Posted May 19, 2016 That is good reasoning Ross, and I can't come up with anything better, but you would think that unless it had never actually gotten used for that, it would have some splatter on it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ronn W Posted May 19, 2016 Report Share Posted May 19, 2016 Does a 2x4 fit in the hook? I dan't judge how big it is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Westy Posted May 19, 2016 Author Report Share Posted May 19, 2016 There were six of these in box. No to the painting. There were also two corner clamps in box. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TerryMcK Posted May 19, 2016 Report Share Posted May 19, 2016 Looks like a mounting clamp to me. As mentioned it is not used to clamp things together just acts as a mounting for something else. There may have also been a long lost mating part. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rex Edgar Posted May 19, 2016 Report Share Posted May 19, 2016 From the contours of the 'hook', I'm thinking maybe a support for lumber as in scaffolding maybe? Looks to be in good condition. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
