2539 - Inshaves or scorps, used to hollow a wooden bowl.
These have a wooden depth limiter that prevents the cut
from going too deep, thus taking off too much wood on
any single pass to handle.

2543 - a fireman's axe.

2539 - Inshaves or scorps, used to hollow a wooden bowl,
chair seat, spoon, etc. Any concave surface. The relatively
small radius suggests these were used for small bowls.
Note the wooden depth limiter that prevents the cut from
going too deep, thus taking off too much wood on any
single pass to handle.

2543 - a fireman's axe.

All of the others are probably tools used to tighten fences. :)

I get my picks from my locksmith supply house. Sometimes need to pick a lock
to open it, and make keys from there.

Nope just being a cheap SOB when it comes to buying lock tools. When you
look at the prices on commercial picks and realize what they are and
that they do break now and then you discover that a few broom teeth and
a good file or Dremel is much cheaper.
Most of my picks set in a box collecting dust. You can usually cut a key
easier.

done. Sometimes I use two or three techniques on the same job, on the same

My guess too , and I think it's for use with a back saw .

2539 looks like a pair of gouge chisels for hollowing out wooden stuff .

If this hasn't already been given, the items in #2541 are Fishing rod
holders, to be used when fishing--especially off the side of a boat, or
equivalent.

One or a couple of these, a portable chair, and a can holder, and you
might even forget you're supposed to be fishing. :)

2539 - Look like wood working tools used to cut a round or square groove.

2540 -

2541 - Adjustable fishing rod holders. They clamp on and allow you to
set the butt of the rod in them.

2542 - Teeth broken off a road sweeper broom. They make great lock pick
stock.

2543 - Kelly Standard Fire axe.

2544 - Circular saw tooth set tool.

Yeah the open end and hole allows the rod to bounce around if you use
them on a boat. I like the coil style for shore fishing and simple tube
style on the boat.

The answers for this week can be seen here:

http://55tools.blogspot.com/2012/04/set-438.html#answers

In some states it is a crime to possess lock picks if you aren't a
locksmith, so I recommend checking your local laws before making your own
picks.

2539 Amish tire thumpers, for wagon wheels.
2540 Frying pan for high viscosity eggs.
2541 they probably hold the arms, that hold awnings for shade.
2542 probably scraps of stick braze or silver braze. Used for refrigeration
work, joining tubing.
2543 Fireman's pick axe.
2544, totally no clue.

Posting from Rec.crafts.metalworking as always.

2539) Levers of some sort. Perhaps could be used as brakes on an
old steel tired wooden wheeled wagon.

2540) Support for a very hot container on a wooden surface like
a tabletop. The three small feet minimize the conduction
of the heat to the support.

2541) Designed to clamp on the edge of a workbench. Looks like it
is intended to support soldering irons while plugged in between
soldering joints.

2542) Perhaps shims for a keyway broaching set -- but those would
have an 'L' shaped bend near one end.

Perhaps special purpose solder -- like perhaps Sil-Phos -- used
to solder copper plumbing for air conditioning refrigerant.

2543) Looks like a firefigher axe -- designed to break through
barriers quickly to allow fighting the fire behind them.
