Awesome thanks for the advice gentlemen, I'm going to use some soap and give it a good rubbing down!

Oh, yeah I suppose so, here's the best I can do right now, my camera is packed away...

I'm in the coast guard, and out hoses have an inner hose that is bonded to the rubber, plus an outer hose that is super snug, but if you cut a section just a few feet long you can separate them, and that looks a lot like what the op has acquired to me. The coast guard uses the old house as...

I stopped in at oregon leather works on my way home today and bought a 2"x72" strip of vegetable tanned white latigo leather, do I need to do anything to it, like use a conditioner? I was contemplating rounding the top edges as well, is that a good idea or not?

First off let me say, I've been away for quite a while, had some sudden employment issues - mostly worked out now, and it's good to be back on these forums! Anyway, I had left my DN Spartan hanging on a razor/ brush stand, with the head loose to help the blade dry. My wife then went through...

Is it for scoring parallel lines in leather?

haha, a swiss gear? obviously a mechanism to turn a contiuous motion into a stepped movement....

That's very useful! I've been eyeballing a few vintage case knives at the local antique store, have never owned one though.

Is it part of an old-style police rooftop light, that spins to shine the light in circles?

Is that the secondary mirror from a (large) reflector telescope?

Well i don't want let this linger so if there are no objections I'll give to Stile442. It's called a Maneuvering Board, and it's used to plot the relative position of other vessels. Once you have three or more positions taken several minutes apart for another vessel, you can determine its...

How long have people been leaving these going? I feel bad holding things up...

Haha, no stile442 is on the right track, it can be used with radar, though it have to be...

Fordfather: No ...although there are often coffee mugs set on them.

Nope, don't think it would be useful for that

This one isn't navy specific, they sell them at west marine, you two are close but what specifically do you plot with it?

Sorry this took longer than expected... This ia an example of a "tool" that has been made obsolete by modern technology... Although I'm sure Abragus knows exactly what it is...

Sweet, I'll post my pic in a couple hours after I'm off watch. ...and I hadn't even thought about there being other coasties on here, I'm just a BM3 currently at a surf station. I've heard about those stabilizers on 270s which is why I was able to guess it...

It sooks like a surface ship to me, but I've never seen a modern sub out of the water, the main thing I was looking at was the fact that it's at a ~45 degree angle, when I first saw the picture I though "rudder!" but that's not right I don't think... Abragus, purely out of curiosoty, what class...

is it on a submarine? It looks more like an adjustable stabilizer to me, it's purpose would be to counter the ship's rolling especially in beam-to seas...
