984 - seems to be a type of clamp meant to sit on the knee. Perhaps a string went through the holes and under your other foot - push your foot down to tighten the clamp. For carving, maybe?

983 for attaching signs/notices out of reach. The sign is held in the lower clamp, and the nail or tack in the upper clamp. One good whack and the sign is in place and the nail started. pull the hammer down and give the nail a few more whacks and you're done.
984. What he said, but I'd guess that it's for holding leather to be stitched.
988. barrel measure. Slip it into the bung to the stop. it appears to have two scales for each barrel size: one for how many gallons of fluid are left and one for how many gallons have ben used.
