... or may be a BBQ or a raclette ...

Oh, now I see!
Simple;
A quadrilateral indexing shift solenoid for a 1927 Lake Thorogood speed throttle on a Buick straight eight engine.
Why didnt I see it earlier
-Marty
What do i win?

Ohhh Marty... so close, but nah! And as for you espresso drinking barbequers... not even close, though, with adaptive reuse it is conceivable that it could be used for either purpose... 

Paul

[W.P. Rayner]

I think i know what it is....  but im not saying 

When you figure it out Craig, let me know. I'm getting confused now...

Now it looks more like a throttle or whatever those lever gadgets are in steam locos. But I probably won't recognize it with certaintly unless it wears a thong bikini. -- Russ

[artizen]

I didn't think of the thongs but I hope it makes a damn good cappuccino when it's finished!!!

I still think it has whispers of a diesel loco cab control.

[eTraxx]

Those throng bikini wearers also have a throttle .. but doesn't look like that ....

[TRAINS1941]

If you don't talk, will put you through the thing-a-ma-bob.  And you'll be left without a doo-hickey!!!!!

Tired of standing in 'the corner' Paul is working on a new punishment device...

These are the cooling rod controls that manage the reactor that powers 'Pauls Patented Orgasmatron'

No? Okay I'm off to the corner again then!

Tired of standing in 'the corner'...

I"m afraid I must correct you there James. I no longer stand in the corner. Being a permanent resident of that locale I installed a comfy chair and drinks trolley, all protected by velvet ropes and various dire-warning signs. Unfortunately, my negotiations to date with Russ have failed in securing a long-term loan of one of his thong-clad cuties to serve the drinks and other delights. In what can only be considered mean-spirited gestures, he regularly parades them past in a teasing and taunting manner.

Returning to the object of the discussion, it's use could be considered a form of punishment, especially these days. Certainly every time we use one we feel we've been taken advantage of.

What? It has something to do with the dollar?

No idea what it is but I can see the joins in the Lego Blocks.

Here are a couple of partial preliminary renderings of work completed on the mystery project this weekend... a couple of more clues. I believe the second image will give it away...
