Stick the dull, but leaded end of your wooden pencil into the left nostril of this nose and twist clockwise. You will be rewarded with a shiny sharp point on the pencil and a curl of shavings on your desk, lap or floor. Pretty good performance for a life sized, flesh colored piece of hard plastic!!

Protect your feet and your footware with our bright yellow disposable plastic boots. They slip possibly over a stout pair of workboots-size eleven and smaller, we guess. The disposable boots are too thin to be worn alone and designed to work with liners we also carried but have since sold out on. Our package of (6) is of course (6) pairs.

Why does it do that? Develop an elemental understanding of magnetism, electromagnetism, electrochemistry, radio, thermodynamics, light and optics. Simon Quellen Field's 228-page paperback, Gonzo Gizmos, Projects & Devices to Channel your Inner Geek explains processes, equipment and scientific terms -- and then, for starters, tells you things like how to make a rotary steam engine in 15 minutes from a soda can, a candle and a few scraps of rubber tubing. It's the favorite of our resident geeks -- but not for kids unless they're working with an adult. That would be a mature adult. An insured, mature adult.

AKA wax carvers. Each tool is about 6" long, stainless steel, with a shaped head on each end. Set "B" has two smaller arrow heads, two sort of like golf clubs and two more small (1/8"+) "spoons". The smaller sizes mean slightly sharper edges and points, but they are still basically dull. You certainly could use them to model in wax, or in clay, or to sculpt plaster of Paris. Handy and unusual.

We don't know. The shapely 5" long, clear-acrylic handle of this 1-1/2" wide x 7/8" brush makes it look like a high-fashion makeup or complexion brush. But the nylon bristles are soft enough to clean mushrooms, or anything delicate. So are you buying a pristine keyboard? A high-fashion facial? Faultless fungi? Wait! You can buy all of the above, and still have (2) of these beauties left over for subdued swabbing of something. We just don't know what.

Interesting wire contraption that we played with as a child. A series of (4) tiers of overlapping and intertwined brass wire semicircular hoops are anchored at the open end to a pair of full circles. The whole can be shaped into a tube, double balls, a flower petal, etc, depending upon what areas are opened, which closed. A variety of colored beads on the hoops add a decorative touch. Fun, intriguing and decorative all at the same time.
