This for those of you who love Rube Goldberg and riddles without a definitive answer.
Anyone still here?
I got this from the son of a woodturner who is now working at the heavenly lathe. The two parts were made to his specs and if there were more parts, they have left the building.
The square part reminds me of that of a sphere turning jig - the piece with the handle less so.
* The large hole with the black arrow on the square part is 30 mm corresponding to the tool post of his lathe.
* The hole inside the tube welded to the handle part is the same diameter as the row of holes on the spare part (red arrow).
* The row of holes on the square part at the green arrow are all threaded.
The only hint that the son could give me was that he seemed to remember his dad talking about hollowing, not sphere turning.
Anyone with a guess - for instance on what was supposed to sit in the hole in the cylinder part?
