Bush hammer
Hammer with an elongated hammer head (approx. 10-20 cm long, approx. 2-5 cm
wide) made of hardened steel with pyramid-shaped pointed teeth on both
faces and a wooden handle (approx. 30-40 cm), for flattening natural stone.
This type of stone finishing is called bushing. From the 17th century
onwards, the bush hammer was used for hard stone types, never for soft
stone or marble. Because the tips wear out quickly, there are models with
interchangeable heads. The disadvantage of this tool is that it sometimes
causes cracks that make the stone weather faster. See also the bouchard
(chisel). [MOT]
Tap borer
The tap borer is a drill (approx. 10-15 cm long) with a half cone blade and
a T-handle and resembles a very small hub reamer. The plumber uses this
hand tool to enlarge holes in lead pipes or to remove burrs and uneven
edges. [MOT]

Lice comb
A lice comb is a plastic, horn or metal comb with very fine (about 1 mm)
teeth that stand against each other. It is used to remove nits from hair.
Because the teeth are against each other, the nits cannot get through and
they are combed out of the hair. [MOT]
Billiard table iron
To smooth a billiard cloth, one can use a billiard table iron. This is a
full metal iron with a thick (approx. 3-4 cm) rectangular (approx. 25 by 10
cm) blade and a U-handle. It resembles the solid metal iron that people
used to use at home, but it is much heavier (approx. 7-8 kg). The carpenter
sometimes used a billiard iron as a glue iron. [MOT]
Alum stone clip
If you want to rub the skin with alum after shaving, you can clamp the alum
stone in a special clip. It has a jaw with a right-angled edge with
triangular teeth, which is adjustable by means of a screw. [MOT]
