I'm a new DIY-er. I recently jury rigged a tool out of the spiral binding of a notebook I found lying around. It works great, and it was (sorta) free!

I inherited these tools from my great aunt. I think they are mostly upholstery tools. I don't know what all of them are for, but I think I might be able to use some of these for splicing. Anyone know what the one with a chain is? Or maybe it's just junk that was thrown in the bag? Has some kind of Asian writing on it I think. Not sure. Also don't know what the pointy things with erasers are. Not pensils! Lol! The tips are metal.
I believe the tool in the upper left is a vintage Roku controller.
The bar with the chain looks like a level arm that is inside some toilet water closets. When the toilet handle is pushed the level arm lifts up on the chain that lifts the flap/plug allowing water to drain into/empty the toilet contents.
In order to see what few have seen, you must go where few have gone. And DO what few have done.
The vintage Roku controller is a must for splicing! An old toilet arm is a hilarious inheritance!!!
I work in printing, so I got a folded in half piece of stitcher wire from the saddlebinder (the gizzy that puts the staples in magazines) I use x-acto knife with #11 blade for cutting and used to use knitting needles for splitting lines, but recently picked up one of these after seeing it in an "improved soft shackles" on you tube. I like the awl MUCH better than the nitting needles.

I always like going SOBO; somehow, it feels like going downhill.
