Veneering hammer
Despite his name the veneering hammer is not a hammer, since it is never
struck, but a hammer-shaped tool of 300-600 gr with which a support sheet
is stroked on the timber. It has a very wide pin (5-10 cm) and a short
handle. The working part is made of iron, wood or, exceptionally, copper.

Wheel pricker (for stencile)
The tailor uses a wheel pricker (approx. 20 cm) to transfer the lines of
the pattern to the fabric, the painter to transfer the lines of a stencil.
The tool has a toothed wheel (approx. 2 cm in diameter) that sits in a
U-shaped bracket at the end of a metal shaft; the shaft sticks with a tang
in a wooden handle, sometimes wheels with different teeth can be attached
to the bracket. The wheel pricker for fabric is exceptionally foldable: the
wheel then disappears into a metal handle. Can be distinguished from the
wheel pricker (shoe maker) because the teeth are less sharp and closer
together. See also wheel pricker (saddle maker). [MOT]

clean. This is only possible with the hands, but one can also use a laundry
scrubber and a washboard, i.e. a ribbed board, later a galvanized plate
(approx. 40-60 cm long; approx. 30-50 cm wide). See also the laundry
beater. [MOT]
