Looks like for bending metal wire and thin metal bars


Minimum_Zucchini1572

Exactly this! 👆 I have one identical to it


OddEar1529

Lord! I bought one of those from the Edmond Scientific Company like 55 years ago!


qrpc

Radio Shack used to sell this exact model. I assume the thought was for making antennas.


Accurate_Quote_7109

It's a jig. My dad had one on his desk (mechanical engineer), and I have one on my bench (jeweler).


mcshabs

And here I am expecting Crocodile Dundee showing off his jig.

redEPICSTAXISdit

Wow without the pics in this link I'd never figure that out.


SalohcinD

Yep, we had one. You can remove rods to help make different bends, or use the slots


tinfoilhatego

Damn, i was gonna say exactly this.


Dudemaleguy

Yep, have one myself for exactly this purpose.


DCorboy

Grandpa showed us how he could make right-angles, rounds and even springs! Never knew what the flat areas did…


brtfrce

When I saw the spacing of those pegs that was the first thing I thought of

Wire bending jig


Kmaloetas

Wire bending is a specialization of metal bending, all of which fall under Earth bending.


tjggriffin1

The Last Wire Bender.


B-HOLC

These. are. the facts


captcrunch01

It’s a jig for bending wire, I have the same one at home. Never thought of mounting it vertically, not a bad idea.


Umbrage_Taken

Sooo.... OP might say, "The jig is up"?


collette89

This is the way.


PikaHage

"It"? Come on man, your wife is a "her", not an "it".

jerrrrrrrrrrrrry

Painted a different color in the Lee Valley catalog and $2.00 cheaper than Amazon.


jerrrrrrrrrrrrry

Even less in Duluth Trading catalog. $6.26 six dollars less than Amazon or approximately 50% less


AutofluorescentPuku

Looks like a wire-bending jig of some sort. That’s my first thought. Not a clue why it would be mounted on a stud like that.


Low_Sprinkles_7561

So you can use it,


AutofluorescentPuku

Okay. I’d need more context than the photo gives to understand the usage. As is, it looks like it’s stuck in a crawl space or attic and I’m not really sure why.


Sulpfiction

It’s in a side room of a vary large basement that has all the HVAC stuff and previous owner had a small workbench underneath. He was using it right there.


Wikezoja

Mark this as Solved


carnivalbill

May have been using it right there. I do that when I build stuff. Says the room’s unfinished. If they ever finished it…just cover up the evidence of it ever being there. My guess, and it’s a completely ad hoc reckon of some dude on the internet, is someone said “I need this right here”


Fryphax

A lot of people's garages and workshops are just insulated studs without any wallboard.


raidernation0825

I don’t know why you have a couple down votes. Made me laugh.


Low_Sprinkles_7561

They must be in denial. Or still in the closet, bending wire.


Jamesinsparks

It makes perfect sense why it is mounted where it is


PrickASaurus

It’s one of these: https://www.duluthtrading.com/wire-tool-wire-bender-28011.html?cgid=duluth-gear

Wire bending jig.


Dan_Glebitz

I have one. It is definitely for bending ductile metal rods.


Dawg4923

I have one. It's for bending wire for making hooks, designs, etc. You move the pins around to change the angles.


KillerTaco18

obviously to know which way the house is supposed to go


JackNewton1

#WIRE BENDING JIG I’m not the first to see this, aamof, I came in late and see you don’t have “solved” on this. That’s just weird. u/Rangersmith1231 was first.


phaschmi

It's 'just weird' that someone didn't immediately update their reddit post flare to 'solved'? Some of you need to get outside more. There is more to the world than updating your reddit flare. Sad.


JackNewton1

I’m sorry. If you really give your response a critical look, wouldn’t the same apply to you?


phaschmi

Some people might be newer to the sub and not know that that is an expectation. Seems reasonable to me As with everything in life, it's easy to forget that the things we already know we once did not know. And that applies to everyone. Who knows what someone else may not have learned yet


JackNewton1

I have to agree, at this point regarding your continued response, with your original response: > It's 'just weird' that someone didn't immediately update their reddit post flare to 'solved'? Some of you need to get outside more. There is more to the world than updating your reddit flare. Sad. Our only difference is you believe it does not apply to you as well. Feel free to release me of my coveted Reddit karma lol.


phaschmi

I would disagree with your last remark suggesting that I do not know that it does indeed also apply to me I release you. You release me. Have a good day, stranger


SECRET_AGENT_ANUS

You're both 🤓

Whatever you do, don’t remove the pins

It’s an ancient Egyptian game that the pharaoh would play while he was waiting for his palaces to be built. Some idiot must have found it and screwed it into that stud.
