What is this?

[bobbi-j]

For digging rocks out, or around or between them? Does it have anything to do with the rocks themselves, or more the construction of the foundation?

something to do with making a rock foundation

splitting stone to make a foundation

Yep!

This tool is on display in a local history museum...

I posted the description they had displayed, but I suspect it was used a lot for building chimneys and fireplaces too.

 

[Molpet]

Yep!

I can't imagine how much work that would be
I am so spoiled with modern tools
I rented a jackhammer for a project and that about killed me

If it's not for splitting stone, as Molpet suggested, then it's an Arcturian Star hammer.....

Lol....

I just googled “Arcturian Star hammer”... thinking that was some old tool you knew about...

...I’d already forgot about the whack a doodle star alien lady!

I’ve got more items from the museum... I’ll post one unless someone else has something they’d like to post first...

Okay here’s a new thing to guess, I edited out some words

Not originally... but I think a few where exported to another planet for that later

does that spool in the back have wire on it? Is it a spool?
