The pitcher is a short, heavy chisel with flattened cutting edge (approx. 4 mm wide) to chop off large pieces of a rough natural stone block as a first operation and thus get a good start for shaping the edge. The stonecutter strikes the pitcher with his stonemason’s hammer. The paviour uses it to break excess pieces of paving tiles and split pavement stones (1). This pitching tool is to be distinguised from the charring chisel and the flat chisel. [MOT] (1) JELLEMA: 38-39.

For his safety and, in artificial climbing, to get higher, the first climber puts hooks in the crevices of the rock; the latter removes them. The first work can be done with a light fist. However, pulling out the hooks is sometimes difficult and various hammers have been devised to facilitate this. All weigh about 500-670g and usually consist of a square face to drive the hooks in, and a curved pin with notch that can be inserted into the eye of the hook. The handle then becomes the power arm of a lever of the first kind, like a claw hammer. Sometimes there is also a hole in the working part, where a carabiner can be picked up. By forming a chain of three carabiners, the last of which is inserted into the eye of the hook, that hook can sometimes be knocked out. The pin or the more or less pointed end of the working part also serves to drive clamping wedges into gaps. The wooden handle was replaced by the metal, which does not come off. Usually a hole is drilled in the end of the stem...

Kitchen utensil with a relatively large (approx. 6-7 cm diameter) and sturdy stainless steel cutting wheel, fixed in a wooden, plastic or aluminum handle that flares out towards the wheel to protect the fingers. With a pizza wheel you can cut a pizza base out of the dough and, when the pizza is baked, you can cut it into slices with it. To be distinguished from the pastry cutting wheel. [MOT]

The pointing sword (1) is a stonemason's hand tool that was used when placing large blocks of natural stone. These blocks are not placed in mortar like bricks, they are placed on wooden blocks after which the mortar is applied between the stone blocks using this tool (2). The vertical joints are also filled in this way. The large notches on both sides therefore serve to push the mortar forward between the stone blocks (3).The thin metal blade can be attached in line with the wooden straight handle or form an angle with it. The blade is doubly serrated in shape, with large notches facing forward. The length of the joint sword depends on the dimensions of the masonry that you want to build with it.The pointing sword is similar to the slate ripper but the blade is thinner, the notches are directed forward and the handle does not end in a hook.

Elongated (approx. 50 cm long; approx. 20 cm wide), convex grater with fairly coarse triangular pierced holes with which raw potatoes are grated. It is cut semicircular on one short side; on the other short side it has a handle. The grated potatoes were mixed with flour, eggs and bacon to make a kind of pancake. [MOT]

Potatoes can be harvested with a garden spade, a hoe, a potato harvester or a potato lifting fork. The latter has 3 to 4 wide and flat or, in cross section, triangular teeth with pointed ends (approx. 20-30 cm long), which are attached to a wooden T or D handle (approx. 1 m) . To scoop potatoes, a potato fork is used, the teeth of which are much closer together and end in balls so as not to damage the potatoes. Can be distinguished from the digging fork. See also dung fork. [MOT]

Kitchen utensil that can be used to crush potatoes and other vegetables. It consists of a round, possibly convex, wooden disc with a stem. With this, the boiled potatoes are pressed through the holes of a colander. The tool can also work in a puree strainer and then its shape is adapted to it (1). In addition to the wooden puree masher, there are also metal models, made of iron, aluminum or sheet iron. With these tools, with an open stamping part, you no longer have to work in a colander or a sieve. See also potato masher (cattle). [MOT] (1) Eg. LUCAS s.d .: 26.

After the potatoes, turnips, beets and vegetables, which will be used as animal feed, have been transferred from the kettle in which they were cooked (see potato spoon) to a tub, they are crushed with a potato masher. The potato masher is a wooden or iron stamper in all shapes. It can be a round piece of wood, thinner at the top than at the bottom. It can also be a round grid (approx. Diam. 13-15 cm) that is connected to the stem (approx. 55-80 cm) via a fork-shaped intermediate piece (approx. 20-25 cm). Sometimes the masher is also forged in the shape of an S. See also the potato masher to make puree. [MOT]

Potatoes can be mashed more easily into puree with a potato ricer. The boiled potatoes are placed in the container and the tongs are squeezed shut. The potatoes are pressed through the holes of the ricer. See also the puree strainer. [MOT]

(1) Proper name yet unknown.

The priest is a light (approx. 150 gr) bat-shaped hand tool of about 30 cm long made of wood, copper or plastic and with or without a widened (diam. approx. 3-4 cm) end (length approx. 6-12 cm) which is often weighted with lead. With a priest, the angler gives the caught fish a short, hard blow to the head to switch off the brain. This either to kill the fish immediately or to stun it before killing it with another technique, such as slitting its throat, for example. The handle is also used in the same way on some folding fishing knives. [MOT]

After cutting a groove (see splitting chisel) and forming the nail holes in the horseshoe (see this stamp hammer), the farrier uses a horseshoe pritchel to punch through or enlarge the holes. The horseshoe pritchel is a long (approx. 25-40 cm) iron chisel that ends in a small rectangular (approx. 3 mm by 1.5 mm) point. See also the clinch cutter. [MOT]
