1580. Saw for cutting into the center of a piece of wood, say plywood.
I've got a Sandvik 314 for this. I don't know the actual name though.
1584. Corn sheller.

1579 - John may have hit on something, so I'll expand on his idea.
One aspect follows a template, while the other aspect does the cutting
on the turning stock.

Floorboard saw.
Used for cutting through the tongue at the sides of a floor board you want
to lift up.

Generally it is used when you want to lift up one or two boards to get at
the space underneath to install pipework or cabling and normally you would
screw the old boards back down when you have finished.
Termites are not normally a problem in the UK.

1579: As someone already correctly answered, these are woodturner's
tools for cutting tenons to size.
1580: Flooring saw. Used primarily for repairs. The curved edge
allows you to saw into a floor to remove a board.

A new tongue-and-groove floorboard is commonly installed by removing the
bottom edge of the groove side. It can then be installed on the tongue side
first and wedged into place. It has to be face nailed with finish nails and
the holes filled.

Out of curiosity, how do you get the new one in without pulling out
the entire floor to an edge?

A few guesses.
1579 - Wood turning tools (obviously) It looks like these are
designed to quickly size a tenon to a fixed diameter.
1582 - Ice tongs? Adjustable for different size blocks.

Thanks. I didn't know that. I've always used a skill saw to get out
floorboards but that's because it was always replacing termite damaged
ones.

Let's see...
1579 - I've no real ideas, besides the feeling that there's meant to be
something clamped in the jaws of these tools. Maybe there's a
changeable cutting blade that goes there, for carving or shaping wood
somehow; or maybe they're intended to be clamped to the piece being
worked for holding it or applying leverage to shape it or something
similar.
Since I'm completely guessing, I'll go way out on a limb and say perhaps
they are glassblowing tools of some sort. I rather doubt it, though.
1580 - Well, it's a handsaw, of course. I'd guess the strange curve and
tooth pattern may be intended to cut holes in already laid wood
flooring, say for instance to install heating registers.
1581 - Another one which I'm rather clueless on. Possibly it's part of
a mallet of some sort, intended to be covered with e.g. leather and
filled with sand or lead shot. The handle part would then keep the
leather stretched over the truncated cone part as well as keeping the
inner material inside.
1582 - Possibly a spring compressor for coil springs (of a medium
weight: less powerful than, say, automotive suspension springs)
1583 - Looks to simply be a homemade cam clamp, perhaps to hold small
pieces of wood when manipulating them against a shaping tool (such as a
belt or disk sander) without endangering the skin of one's knuckles. It
could also be used for gluing up narrow things, but they'd have to be
pretty small and narrow.
1584 - Yet another olde corn shucker; this one actually looks quite
efficient in operation. Cobs go in the funnel thingy at the top, and
corn and spent cobs emerge separately from below.
Now to read other guesses...

1581 I'll take a wild guess...
In the art of printing, long ago, before ink rollers, the printer would
apply ink to the block/plate/type with pillow like things with handles.
Called dabbers or daubers. This looks like it could be an industrialized
type of handle for a printer's ink dabber.

Someone who had the same guess posted a link to a photo in the comments on
my site:
http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_I_1dG2HF_sc/SC74MJE9ctI/AAAAAAAAAes/6u_PqGbOW8k/s400/Gutenberg+event+08g.jpg
I was thinking that it was some type of pestle, the part with the teeth
could have been used on larger chunks. The tool says "Pat. Appl'd", though
I haven't yet been able to find a patent for a pestle or ink dauber that
looks like it.

Thanks for the links, this seems to be the likely answer but I'm not 100%
convinced yet, I'm still trying to find the patent for it.

I was also thinking this might be a homemade tool, which would make it
almost impossible to nail the exact reason it was created.

I'm new, hereabouts, but finally understand what this "What is it: setxxx?"
is. Looks like fun. Unfortunately, the site offers really poor photos, not
at all conducive to figuring out what "it" is. You either know or don't.
This set looks like it might a couple things, but without more detailed
pics, I can't even rule out the maybe's.

Posting from Rec.crafts.metalworking as always.
1579) These look like tools to clamp onto the ends of a bar which
is going to be held in a forge and then bent in the middle.
Exactly why there are *three* of them, instead of only two is
not clear -- unless it is a case of "making a spare at the same
time. :-)
1580) Saw for cutting something like a threshold down flush with the
floor without gouging the floor at a distance from the part
being cut.
1581) Weird! At a guess, it is stomped into something which fills
the "toothed bell", and which is then removed by unlocking the
handle and pushing it out. No idea why, however.
1582) A set of ice tongs made for gripping from off to the side where
you don't have clearance above the ice block for the normal
tongs.
1583) Maybe a vise for holding something like a clarinet reed when
thinning it?
1584) Perhaps a personal cotton gin?
Now to see what others have suggested.
Enjoy,
DoN.

At a *guess*, with two or more adjacent boards (I think that
three or more would be better) you can start the tongues into the
grooves at either edge with the center lifted and push down the middle
to expand the edges.
Enjoy,
