And if you pound nails through those holes into a work bench, you would
have a stationary tool. ;~)

I'll take a wild guess, and say it's intended as a drilling
guide to put 8 equally spaced holes around a center post.

Isn't a stationary tool used to make writing paper?

Nah, it's a wire stretching tool; aren't they all? :) (Even w/o access
to the binary groups on this newsserver...)

If you'd pound some nails through those holes, you'd have a "clamp" of
sorts.

Cable-twister was a good guess. I saw a fence tool at the state fair
the other day that would twist wire at about 8 different levels all at
the same time (the idea was to insert a vertical slat about every foot
or so, and twist the cables before and after it). Impressive gearing.
