Could someone tell me what this weird looking thing does? O can see it it is used with a brace. I am having a yard sale tomorrow and I would like to tell people what they are buying.

I believe its a dowel cutter
Could be some type of tubing cutter. Some of those diameters look awful big to be trying to cut hardwood dowel with it. It’s a Cutter that’s for sure. First thing I thought I was a big PVC pipe cutter but all of this is guesswork on my part
Long, Wide, Deep, and Without Hesitation!
That is a Hollow Auger.
Used for cutting a dowel on a spoke for a wheel.
We have a winner.

Once again you gentleman came to the rescue. Thank you. I think my hands would be numb by the time I finished a wheel. I don't think I could do a wagon.

I used one once in a while when I had my custom woodworking/millwork shop to cut round tenons on spindles - came in very handy foe truing up tenons on spokes I turned for making treadle and walking spinning wheels with spit turned hubs for the treadle wheels and turned hubs for the walking wheels. With a sharp cutter and a brace, it makes quick work of it. A mate to these tenon cutters was a chamfer cutter. It was a cast "cone" with a cutter - think pencil sharpener - the shaft that went in the brace was adjustable as far as how deep the end went into the cast cone - the shaft would bottom out on the end if the spindle/spoke to determine how much chamfer was put on the end of the spindle/spoke so they were all uniform and to make it easier to enter the hole in the hub/rim or in a chair leg, chair are etc.
WOW. it's amazing the things that you learn on this site!
Old enough to know better, young enough to do it anyway!
