| Blacksmith's or farrier's pincer or grip

East Linton has a large agricultural hinterland and these tools belonged to a smith who worked there. Until well into the 20th century local farriers and blacksmiths were employed servicing farms' establishments of horse power and to repair basic farm technology and equipment (much of which had also been manufactured locally).
The pincer or grip was a standard smith's or farrier's tool - one of its main uses was extracting nails from horses' shoes.
The smith was once a key figure in every one of East Lothian's towns and villages and several were still working at the end of the 20th century. Many undertook light engineering work in addition to ordinary smithcraft, but there were still sufficient horses in the rural areas for traditional farrier's skills to be in demand.

Until well into the 20th century local farriers and blacksmiths were employed servicing farms' establishments of horse power and to repair basic farm technology and equipment (much of which had also been manufactured locally).
Much of an experienced smith's work was done by eye, with a few simple tools to help him translate dimensions from a template to a piece being fabricated. These robust dividers were used where an exact dimension was essential; the legs of each can be fixed in place so the space measured can be tested against the piece being worked.

Got machined steel wire instead of bison sinew, otherwise this is Cro-Magnon. |
