Peculiar tools

[Tonee]

Because of my interests, I was looking through some information on the internet and I found something peculiar. Those are pictures from the open-air museum in Szymbark, Poland.
They are displaying tools and utensils from centuries ago and although I can name some of them, others left me baffled.
It seems that the former peasants' striving for self-sufficiency abounded in the strangest ideas. In the pictures below I show devices or tools whose purpose I neither know nor can name.
The former seems to be a rodent trap, but the latter? Do you have any ideas?

The lower pic is of a vise that you used to hold  things while you used another tool to work on them, Foot operated, saddle makers, carpenters, coopers, and many more use them in their trade.

The lower pic is typically called a shaving horse.

Also heard them called schnitzelbancs by local german & dutch area people.
