What is that?

Let's play "What is That!".

Here are a few things I saw at the Stonefield Historical Site.
Unfortunately there were no docents around to ask what they were.
Anbody know what these are?

No.1 A lot of leverage to cut something.

No.2 Rollers look like they were made of wood.
What material would wood rollers be used to form?

No.3 This was in the wood working shop.
Looks like a frame for something with parts missing.

I don’t really know but no.2 makes me think it’s a pasta roller. That’s my guess.

The rolling machine is for making the indented grooving along the edges of leather belting.

It's called a leather creaser.
