No, it's not t a butter churn.

Is it used to position tiles?

Ooh, you're getting closer . . . but no, it's not for setting tiles.

No, but you're closer still. :)

I almost said an old hod.

Shaping the mortar joint between the brick courses?

Oh my, you're so close! Close enough for gubmint work, I guess. ;)

The mason who produced this tool hated to lose mortar when connecting two cinder blocks. Too often the mortar fell into the holes in the block and could not be retrieved. This tool was made to be positioned on top of a block, the mortar was then placed on the block, next the tool was removed, and another cinder block placed on top. The person who invented this created 5 or 6 similar ones but the design of each was somewhat different.

A home made version of the Bricky.

That'd be a fairly sloppy mason, btw.

True. I'm sure it would just slow a skilled mason down and get in the way.

What is this?
