Last Toolsday, we posted a photo of a rectangular object with scalloped edges and asked you to tell us what it is. Most people thought it was some kind of form or mold – we had guesses ranging from making pasta to cutting sod. But not too many people guessed the true material the mystery tool was designed to cut: leather.
We randomly picked one winner from all the comments and that winner is jellybean22, who thought it was a brick mold. Congrats Mr. or Ms. jellybean22, you have one week to reply to our email before we pick another winner.
For next week’s giveaway, take a look at the gadget pictured on the left, then post a comment (click “comments” above) and tell us what it is. Next Tuesday we will randomly pick one of the comments from this post and that lucky person will receive a Rockwell RK900 Jawhorse. The portable Jawhorse workstation can clamp up to 1 ton of anything you can imagine, letting you work hands-free no matter what you’re working on or where you’re working. Its solid all-steel construction provides exceptional strength and there are no moving plastic parts to break. The Jawhorse folds down to about the size of a piece of carry-on luggage. so you can easily tuck it away when the job is done. 
On a different note: Is your kitchen in need of a facelift but you’re short on funds? We’ve got some creative ways to re-do your backsplash that will cost you less than $50. Plus, we’ve got kitchen storage projects for all DIY skill levels.
On Tuesday, January 24, we will select the winner of the Rockwell Jawhorse workstation then start up a new giveaway for another tool, which will be given away the Tuesday after that.
You have until January 24, 2012, 2:00pm (ET) to enter to win the Rockwell Jawhorse.

a holder
To make holes in a belt
Food chopper
Looks like it is madeto hold a bottle or a bottle opener of some kind.
It looks like it could handle leather, but the ends don't appear to line up to punch holes, so I'm not sure what it would do except pattern work.
IT'S A "THING-A-MA-JIG" !!!!
Is this a fancy-dancy awl? Certainly looks like it could punch through leather!
A soldering iron holder
Bottle opener
MIGHT BE NUT CRACKER
A Nutcracker
I agree
I also think it is a nut cracker
leather embosser
looks like a coat or hat rack
Its a tool used to do leather work
a work bench tool
iron
a clamp

pipe holder for stem pipe
It's a wine bottle opener. It cuts the paper around the neck of the bottle.
Hey! can anyone tell me who won the Snowblower? and what was the object you had to identify?
Wine bottle opener is a creative thought, I think it would hold a hot soldering iron or even curling iron. Wood burner engraver.
Looks like some kind of clamping and unclamping devise.
Its a radiator cap ornament for an early model dragonmobile.
I think it's a tool to open a shoe while you're sewing it together.
Definitely looks like a wine bottle opener!
Could it be something used in braiding leather, such as for horse reins.
Something to hook your braiding on.
Bottle opener?
I think I see something that looks like a point on the bottom….I would guess with the way it is weighted that it could be a cigar cutter or snipper? I could see it on some Lords' desk in his library in England, it almost looks like a griffin!
Looks like 10 or so people won the Darwin for not submitting the entries as their own comment. LOL
I agree its wine bottle opener
I think it's a door knocker
