Tom Hamilton ot Houston, Texas, knew the mystery "tool rods" were part of a miter box set — since that's how he uses his. turned flat-side-up, help hold the wood being cut." "When not being used for repeal cuts, they were stored out of the way on rods going under the frame of the mitre box," said Robert H. Ingelson of Holland, Michigan. I)r. J. Courtland Robinson of Stevenson. Maryland, had an even more detailed explanation of the rods: "With the supplied directions, they are used to provide a stop for repeated crosscuts or to hold moulding at an angle so as to get repeated cuts with a compound angle. The numbers are there to help follow the directions." Court now has a chop saw that he says is "faster but more dangerous, and possibly less versatile." He also has some insight into why the tools may have become a mystery — and, just possibly, why James didn't get all the parts with his flea market purchase. According to Court, "1 can understand why Mr. Hauser did not know, as lacking the miter saw they would be a mystery — and the sort of item that would be dropped in a drawer even if one had the saw." —Joanna Werck Takes If you have the answer to this issue's mystery tool, send it to Stumpers, c/o Woodworker's Journal, P.O.
