LOL looks likes I am the only one who voted for a hand cranked loom :D
IDK there really isnt anything to crank it with.  Maybe it is a brick making machine :-\ ???

It's nice to see you here Dev! Thanks for playing! :)

I just had an idea for the bonus thingie.
I think Shasta is right, it looks like you could put embers in it. But I don't think it was a portable heater. I think you put something over the pyramid to bring it into its correct shape. The heat helps fixing the form, and after it has gotten cold, the material (felt for example) stays in that pyramid shape.

You could make pyramid formed felt hats :laugh:.

1st guess -- trap
2nd guess -- noisemaker
3rd guess -- portable heater to carry in a stagecoach or wagon as you travel
More later if I think of some.

LOL to Optom at the Fergie connection.  :D


Well guess who's just as daft. I sat in my youngest sons wigwam at one stage as it was sort of pyramid shaped.I was having a rough time and thought it was hardlygoing to harm me. Well surprise, surprise, it didn't do any good either.
Is it any wonder I am medicated.
However I have just been reading that wigwams/teepees are now the latest must have.Kate Moss and Jade Jagger have them in their gardens.
Boy was I ever ahead of my time !! What a trendsetter.

I'm going for antique coffee grinder for the first picture, and mouse trap for the bonus picture! Not to get the two confused.....

Well it would have been if I hadn't been so busy checking for creepy crawlies, and about to turn blue from the cold.
