At first, April’s mystery item(s) may appear relatively
straight-forward. However, it’s likely that these tools aren’t what you think they are. You might think they’re push sticks, used to guide lumber through
a table saw, but you’d be wrong. Like most mystery items we’ve posted, these tools
are specific to a trade—and they have nothing to do with woodworking. We’re
looking for the trade in which they’re used, their purpose, and of course, they’re
name.
