What is this thing???

I cleaned out the outside tool closet at my house yesterday and found these things. We never cleaned it out when we bought the house two years ago and probably wouldn't have yesterday except I need to run wiring through there and on to the garage. I'm finally running a new 20 amp circuit to the garage so that I won't keep blowing the breakers to the house and computers every time I fire up the compressor or the welder. And so I can take down the extension cords that lead to the garage door opener. Now I can hang some fluorescent fixtures above the MG.

Anyway my wife and I can't figure out what these two things are.
Anyone know?

Good question Peter, I have never seen a set up such as that. At first it looked like a bad attempt at making an easel.

Could be.......

1). Morgan fender frame templates.

2). Outside tool closet support trusses.

Front frame off of a TR7?

Firewood?

My heavens! I have been looking for those! Send them to me at once!

I think it's a snowmobile part? You do get snow, right?

Maybe the start of a boat? Naw.

Are they multiplying? Be careful with them, they're starting to look agitated.

Peter, you ain't got enough to do....

Here's my guess.

Lean them against a wall, 6' apart. Lay a 2"x12"x8' across the top. Portable scaffold.

I didn't say I'd trust them. But they might work!

Wheelbarrow frames,

or they could be modern art....

or.....

oh, I got it..... they are conversation pieces!

Something to keep a tarp peaked so rainwater flows off?

Pup tent trusses...

lost template for the Ark of the Covenant! :)

I'm guessing hammock frame.

That last picture does make them look a bit irked :).

Portable skateboard ramps? Just add plywood.

Put them on E-bay. Some fool wil start a bidding war. Especially if your ad says something like, "there's a knot on one of them that looks like the Virgin Mary when the evening sun hits it just right."

....whoo...a bunch of good laffs....I like monte's firewood guess... for 500 Alex....

Monte's guess sounds right to me - portable, temporary scaffold bases.

Actually, it looks like an over-engineered one of these....................old fashioned clothes dryer.
You know I'm right.

Those are torture racks from Abu grab.

I saw em in a picture (NY Times) with with a scared, naked, hooded, getting elctrocuted terrorist with a dog about to bite him, tied to them!

Yard Art

Giant tweezers.

do not know for sure found several in the top of my barn when i moved in to my home 12 years ago they are still there they have something to do with tobacco farming in the old days but have never had anyone explain for what do you want some more?

I don't associate Michigan with tobacco growing. Maybe I'm wrong. Where are you located, Stephen.

I think they are the human version of a hamster ball or cage. Look how many people have been entertained and occupied since Peter posted them. Aliens put them there to distract us from their REAL plan...

...to kidnap Peter for experimentation. Run Peter!

They Came From Outer Space!

OK Pete...admit it...you built them to see how many hits you would get on the OT Forum!
