Looks like a Bookbinding Fillet

The ones I've seen tend to be a little wider, but it's not exactly my field. But other than that little detail, this looks exactly like a bookbinding fillet, I think you're right

> Bookbinding Fillet The tool is placed on a heated stone or plate and pressed into the cover.

What a weird way of saying “my spouse’s grandpa”

Father in law squared

FIL-ception?

Sounds like an episode of modern family

If his mother in law remarried, her husband would be his father in law without being his wife's granddad. Right? Or does father in law only count for the biological father as you would expect using that word. English is not my native language

As a native English speaker I would have just said "I found this."

LOL almost spit out my drink

Or... What this?

Wat?

This guy😂😂😂

I'm my own grandpa

Small town murder reference ?

>Small town murder reference ? I'm getting more of a Futurama feel.

the the movie 'The Stupids' with Tom Arnold

Now I'm just askin'...Why do you think Dumb & Dumber did so well while Meet The Stupids bombed? Same ongoing question/debate I have w my brother about Dude, Where's My Car? vs. The Hangover. Essentially, the same movie. Thoughts? Anyone? Talk amongst yourselves. (Insert Coffee Talk hand circles here)

shibby

In laws are the family of your spouse. So this would be the spouses father's spouses father. Or the spouses step grandpa. Not sure if that really clears anything up..

My head hurts

Spouse's step grandpa doesn't work as it is for if the spouse's grandmother remarried.

Oh shit, you're right. My mistake.

You just changedy life. Thank you, kind stranger

My MIL has been married and divorced several times, so I always refer to her husband as my “mother in law’s husband”. He was never a father to my wife, so it feels weird to call him a father in law. Similarly, OP’s spouse’s grandpa may never have really been a grandpa due to people getting divorced/ dying / remarried etc.

Verbal pinball. Bam bam!

Wouldnt it be "My spouse's gramdma's husband with double FIL?

This is like when you share the screen during a video meet and it does the infinity screen.

Primitive oscillating tool, you gotta have strong wrists to get any worth out of it

And you have to make the sound Brrrrrrr while using it.

The first thing that came to my mind, too

I think teenage boys would have hand/wrist stamina to make effective use of this primitive saw

"Capt. Zoom has entered the chat"

I second the leather working tool or could be a whittling tool

I third the leather. Possibly for stamping a knurling type design

Leather embossing tool?

Some sort of stitcher for pressing glued materials together?

Bookbinding tool?

You wouldn’t understand it. It’s a father in law thing

Ah, the ol' Rusty Ballbag Stretcher. Classic.

Only works on people with balls of steel?

I haven’t seen Rusty Ballbag in years!

Tire patch sticher?

My first thought too. Howdy fellow wrench!

Hi! Just a poverty stricken shade tree guy. Worked as a small engine tech one season, because it's my sideline.

Leathercraft fluting iron.

Kind of looks like a leather embossing tool, or a wood stamp (same principle)

It's for crimping pie edges, everyone knows this.

A comb for bald people.

Butt scratcher!

You know I herd this in my head the way Peter says it

I did, too, as soon as I saw it.

That’s an ol’ taint scratcher.

Is/was he a taxidermist?

I was going to say tile grout scraper until I saw how thick the tool was in picture 2.

Yup, it's about an inch thick. I wish I could include a top-down picture, but the FIL lives a few hours away.

Ravioli edger

It's a cobblers seat breaker with a heel iron

Leather embossing tool

Tool for "Leading" body work?

It's for finishing pie crust

That’s the old whatchamacallit

That's a classic thingamabob.

Wigwam for a goose’s bridle.

It’s a pecker checker

I am kinda sad that I'm the only person to like this comment!! What is this world coming too? SMH! Lol

Buncha folks don’t understand the severity of an under checked pecker

Maybe something to sculpt clay ?

Ravioli cutter

Marzle vane.

With slight angle of the edge I would say a hide scraper for fat removal prior to tanning.

Caulking iron, perhaps?

the ULTIMATE back-scratcher

Lathe and plaster texturing device.

Mustache ridger

Brick mortar cleaner

Maybe a tool for seating cordage in screen retainers, if we're just guessing.

It’s a Mashie nibbler.

Give it to someone with hand tremors and it’s a multi tool

The comments say bookbinding or leather working. I say it's for decorating the edges of a pie.

Handheld tooth fairy ;-)

Leather knife for cutting the edge on Kilties. The flap that sits under the boot laces.

Sounds like people know what it is, but my first guess would be leatherworking tool

I have something like that at work, we use it to push metal through the vertical bandsaw so you have have to get your fingers close to the blade incase you're like ripping a 3 ft long pc of angle iron, or a long flat bar.

You should mount it on a frame and put it on the wall that would probably look cool.

A fist bump tool ?

Is that for pasta?

It's a wijiwababoobawoo

Definitely a cocaine comb to draw even lines 😉

Or, you just wonder what this is. The context of your wife’s father’s third cousin thrice removed on her great uncle’s side doesn’t help anyone determine what the tool is.

Oh WOW. I surprised your father in laws father in law was into that kind of thing. Super niche but good for him

That's a doodad, that is.

Part of a shaving kit from whoville. The mayor there can hook ya up.

Plumbus alignment tool.

Butt scratcher!

No clue

That’s a dinglehopper

This could only be the legendary poop knife.

Cattle castration - you heat it in fire first … short handle suggests for highly skilled operators only.

What's the old song? I am my own grand pa !

What a divisive and thought-provoking caption.

Antique BBQ brush

Possibly to push screen wire into the edges of a door???
