“These pipes filled with cement were every 500 m along our hiking path.”
Answer: "I wrote to the tourism office, and they told me that these are foundations for small religious monuments. Since there is a small chapel on top of the mountain, this path is also a pilgrims’ path. The small figures are usually along the way to signal pilgrims where to go. They were there, but they removed them to be cleaned over the winter and also to put new sockets to put them on."

#10 is also called a cosh. Some have a spring steel strip in the middle to make them stiffer.
#8 is a Turkish coffee grinder. I have one exactly like this one that I got in Turkey in 1972.

Savannah, you are correct. A cosh is typically a rigid bar or stick used as a bludgeon, whereas what is pictured is flexible and referred to as a blackjack, and usually contains lead pellets within the bulbous end. Originally the term "sap", derived from "sapling", from which the weapon was made, also described a rigid type of bludgeon, but is now used casually and informally, as Jedediah has demonstrated.

#29 Not bar clamps for table tops or panels. 4 inches and 2 inches are less than the length of a hand. They could be bar clamps for veneer banding.

If you meant 2-4 feet in length then yes, they are panel clamps.
