Been searching the web for anything that even looks like it.
Nothing.
It might just be something homemade.
If it is, the guy did a great job.

Change the pitch to match the speed.

Okay, how in the world did you find that?
Guy on the Hobby forum knew what it was.
Now we know.
It's good to learn something new every once in a while.
Wow! Well I was wrong, but I woulda swore it was a planisher. Great find!

Yes I can be long winded. Yes I follow rabbit trails. Yes I admit when I am wrong. Your mileage may vary.

WOW! something new for your spare time/retirement income -- propeller repair love it
I would of never thought of that that is so cool that you found out what it was thank you for sharing D Crockett
I'd hazard a guess that they once belonged to a Tinker, and used to make bowels and such. I've seen some somewhat similar tools in a jewelry supply store.

Shalom y'all!
The guy I got it from did race model boats.
There was a board set of props that I didn't get.
Bunch of built and unbuilt boats that i didn't take.
mystery solved.
Found a site that shows how to use it.
Not the same as the one I have, but works the same.

Thank you to ShooterAZ for adding "Solved" to the title.
there was a lot of people that guessed a lot of different thing in my wildest dreams I would of never thought it was for fixing boat props thanks for letting us know what it is D Crockett
It looks like I did not post a guess. But, I would have guessed it to be a tool used for forming metal. Something like bowels or ash trays. You find some of the coolest stuff!
Thanks.
I kind of like weird things.
I would guess only a serious, model boat race,r would have known what this was.
According to information i got from the Hobby Forum, It was made by a guy named Jim Osborne.
He must have made a few of them. Guy posted a picture of one in way better condition than the one I have.
Said is sold a few years back for $75.00.
At least mines has all the parts.
