Mystery tool!

[John Ross]

I forgot to say, that you can even splice a new piece of shank, onto a broken grand hammer. It will allow it to be used, until a replacement can be found.
And yes, a piece of a straw, does a good job of keeping things aligned, while the glue sets.

  It is for splicing hammer shanks, by adding a new piece.
  You put the broken shank in, and saw it, then put in a new shank and cut it. The two pieces now mate exactly for gluing together.

    Puzzler?

    Hello list,

    I found this tool in a box of tools given to me.  I'd like to know what it is.  A hammer shank fits all the way through each of the holes longitudinally, and the screws are perpendicular to those holes, as if the screws are meant to hold the hammer shanks in place.  (to what purpose?)  And why is there a diagonal slot sawn into the side, intersecting each of the "shaft tunnels"?

    Is this a useful tool?

    Thanks,
    John Dorr
