I'd give them to my wife and tell her to see if she can iron me a shirt.

Back in the day I would have used those to get some delicious abalone. Better move quickly, if you miss first time they will suck themselves to the rock too tight to get off.

Well, since anthropologically speaking, bones were first used as "spoons" before actual spoons were invented... that makes sense! :mrgreen:

I use similar items/tools, only they are a bit larger. I use them in automotive panel beating, for bumping out dents, often used with a dolly. I make them from car leaf springs, or pieces of wood. The wooden ones are used on aluminum, so as not to stretch or work harden the alloy. They too are called spoons, slappers or flat hammers.
You would have to be Arnold Schwartzenegger on pcp to play mine in the same fashion that you do though.

I was at a rondyvoo ne time where a guy was walking around playing a set of bones. When I asked about them he was happy to show 'em off and even gave me a 2 minute lesson, which is all it took. About 6 months later I found a dead cow carcas and cut up a couple of ribs to make my own set.. They worked pretty good, but the wife didn't care for them.
