Answer: Scrapbooking

Eyelets are small grommets that are used to reinforce holes of the pages that comprise the scrapbook. Eyelets are traditionally made of metal but can also be made of plastic or rubber. The eyelet prevents pages from tearing and can often play a decorative function in scrapbooking.
2. The "trowel" is a tool used in which of the following hobbies?

Answer: Stonemasonry

The masonry trowel is one of the key tools of the stonemason. It is used in stonework for spreading and shaping mortar as well as leveling and more decorative functions. Kinds of trowels used in masonry include brick trowels, bucket trowels, finishing trowels, corner trowels, gauging trowels, margin trowels, pool trowels, step trowels, tile setters and tuck pointers.
3. The "punch" is a blunt-ended tool used in which of the following hobbies?

Answer: Metalworking

The punch is a metal rod with a blunt end and a shaped tip. It is commonly used in metalworking or woodworking with a hammer to drive objects into wood or to develop patterns or images in sheets of metal. A wide variety of punches exist including a nail punch, doming punch, center punch, decorative punch, prick punch, drift punch, and a transfer punch.
4. The "marver" is a tool used in which of the following hobbies?

Answer: Glassblowing

The marver is an important piece of equipment used in glassblowing. Originally marble was the surface used but today marvers are composed of polished steel attached to a table. Hot glass is rolled on the marver in order to adjust the shape and control the temperature.

The steel surface of the marver absorbs the heat from the glass. It is very important to keep the marver clean and free from impurities.
5. The "pontil" is a tool used in which of the following hobbies?

Answer: Glassblowing

After the glass has been blown into its final size, the molten glass is attached to a stainless steel rod. This rod has a number of different names including the pontil, punty, or mandrel. The pontil is used to shape and transfer the hollow piece from the blowpipe in order to manufacture an opening for the top. Color and patterns are applied to the molten glass by rolling it in powdered color or larger pieces of colored glass called frit.
6. The "brads" are a tool used in which of the following hobbies?

Answer: Scrapbooking

Brads are another name for brass fasteners or split pins. Their primary purpose is to secure sheets of paper together and they are a popular embellishment for scrapbooking purposes. Brads are often used in place of staples because they allow rotation around the joint.
7. The "cricut" is a tool used in which of the following hobbies?

Answer: Scrapbooking

The Cricut is the name given to a series of cutting plotters commonly used in scrapbooking. The machines can cut paper, fabric, vinyl, and other like materials. Provo Craft of Utah has the patents on both the machine and assistive technology used with the Cricut. The Cricut machines use cutting mats in three primary sizes, 6x12 inches, 12x12 inches, and 12x24 inches. The largest machine can produce letters up to 23 inches high.
8. The "paddles" are a tool used in which of the following hobbies?

Answer: Glassblowing

Transforming raw materials into glass takes place at temperatures in excess of 2,400 degrees Fahrenheit (1,300 degrees centigrade). The glass is white hot but the temperature is reduced slightly in order to work the glass into shape. The majority of actual glassblowing takes place at temperatures between 1,600 and 1,900 degrees Fahrenheit. Paddles are flat pieces of graphite or wood that paddle the heated glass in order to create flat spots when the molten glass is being shaped.
9. Calipers are a tool used in which of the following hobbies?

Answer: Metalworking

Calipers or callipers are a technical hand tool used to accurately measure the distance between two points of an object. They are a common tool used in woodworking, engineering and metalworking. Most calipers have two flat perpendicular edges and are used for very exact measurement.
10. The "cockscomb" is a tool used in which of the following hobbies?

Answer: Stonemasonry

The cockscomb is a wooden hand tool used by stone masons for surfacing soft stone. The cockscomb is sometimes called a stonemason's drag and is comprised of serrated edges that are effective in working on soft surfaces such as limestone.
