    The only one that caused a little grief for me was the Warrington hammer. The rest were pretty simple.

      I got 9 right. I kept looking for a rich guy stuck on an island for the howel question.... Thurston, wasn't it?

        Got 7 out of 10 most of them by guess.

          The first three I guessed (wrong), after that the others seemed easy.

            I missed two... embarrassingly, one was the size order of the planes! The only plane I own is a block. (Now if they has asked me about propeller driven planes (P40, C47, B17, and a Lancaster... I know I would have gotten them right )

            I never heard of a "Warrington Hammer"... glad to see that someone else didn't know that too.

              What's scary is that I got all 10 correct. Should I be concerned for my sanity?

                Fun. Got 9 of 10 right. Just haven't had to split any shakes recently.

                  Like the other Richard (in Smithville) I had trouble with that Warrington hammer. Guessed right though and it was a total guess.

                    I got 8 correctly and that was more than I should have. I never built any log cabins, never worked on any barrels or split any shakes. I do have a warrington hammer in my tool chest however and I find it useful:

                      FYI, the main reason I am familiar with the Warrington hammer is that they are used in Auto Body, and sheet metal work as well... My brother in law recently had a toolbox fully of Warrington hammers, and dollies stolen from the back of his truck... I know, dumb reason to be familiar with a tool...

                        So that's a Warrington hammer?! Had I known what it looked like, I probably would have guessed incorrectly.

                            9/10 here. I had no idea what shellac was made of. That stinks!
