Tool - Dowel Maker (Moot), Mid to late 19th Century indication of this date range is due to the engraved handles and brass ferrules often used on hand tools of this era
A dowel is a cylindrical rod, usually made of wood. In its original manufactured form, a dowel is called a dowel rod. Dowel rods are often cut into short lengths called dowel pins.These are commonly used as structural reinforcements in cabinet making and in joining large timbers together. To make a dowel, a piece of wood is split or whittled to a size slightly bigger than desired and to place the stock into a vice then rotate past a fixed knife, or alternatively, to rotate the knife around the stock such as the subject tool was used. Machines based on this principle emerged in the 19th century. Frequently, these are small bench-mounted tools, prior to this time dowels had to be cut by hand. The tool is an example of early to late 19th century hand tool used to make timber dowels. It is not associated with an historical event, person or place, makers provenance is unable to be determined at this time. Many small American and British tool manufactures were taken over by Stanley tools after 1843 when the company was established and this item could have been made by one of these. However the subject item appears to be rare and would be regarded as a collector's item.An adjustable woodworking tool know as a Moot, used for making Trunnels or Treenails (Dowels) for fastening joints in timber.

Tool - Iron Fastener/Cross Pin Tool
This could be a hand-forged cross-pin or locking mechanism, used in woodworking, metalworking, or early mechanical applications. It might have been used for securing joints, locking wheels, or reinforcing wooden structures. Such iron tools were commonly made in blacksmith shops during the 19th and early 20th centuries for agricultural, construction, or transport-related applications. Alternatively, it may have functioned as a rudimentary fastening peg, used in early wagon building, fence construction, or machinery assembly.A hand-forged iron tool consisting of two intersecting metal rods forming a cross shape. The rods appear hammered and roughly shaped, indicating blacksmith craftsmanship. The surface is heavily rusted and corroded, suggesting significant age and exposure to elements. The ends of the rods are uneven, with one slightly flattened, possibly for wedging or securing purposes.blacksmith, metalwork, woodwork, farm equipment, commercial item -

Tool - Fret Saw
Fret saws like this were commonly used in fine woodworking, cabinetry, and musical instrument making during the 19th and early 20th centuries. Their thin, delicate blades made them ideal for cutting detailed patterns, scrollwork, and decorative inlays. This saw’s wooden frame and tensioning mechanism suggest it was an early design, as modern versions transitioned to all-metal frames. Fret Saw formerly owned by Mr JENDE of Jeparit.The item is a vintage fret saw, a manually operated woodworking tool used for cutting intricate shapes and curves in wood, metal, or other materials. The saw features a rectangular wooden frame with curved side arms, designed to maintain tension on the thin, fine-toothed metal blade. The blade is held taut between two adjustable metal fittings at the bottom of the frame. The two wooden handles, one at each end, allow for control and tension adjustment. The saw shows signs of age, with wear on the wooden frame and some oxidation on the metal components.fret saw, cutting tool, tool, farm equipment -
