Since this one will end today, I'll give a bigger hint (I really thought this would be quickly solved?).
It is for handles....sort of.
It rotates.
It involves twisting (but not wire).

Wrapping handles?

Cheers rody
 
For twisting together more than one strand of wire. You rotate the spool to collect up the multi-strand twisted wire as it is created, and this allows you to pull it off the spool as needed - sort of like line off of a fishing reel.
You can make up a bunch ahead of time this way.
 
Now I feel stupid - but I'll leave the previous post anyway.
I see that you said it does NOT involve wire.
I do sort of like the idea of a take-up spool for twisted wire, though.
 
Rody has it.

It is a tsukamake stand, You use it to do the wrap on Japanese handles.
The sword or knife is put through the tube and chocked in with a wedge. The bungee cords hold the tube with enough tension to prevent slipping, but will allow rotation by turning the large ring. The handle is wrapped on one side, rotated,wrapped on the other.....over and over. Clamps can be put on the wrap to hold it while your fingers take a rest.
It would work for paracord wraps and the JT wrap,too.

I'll post a photo of it in use tonight.

Here is a photo of it with a sword in place.

I think that at this very minute perhaps Rody is running around his shop trying to cobble some sort of "tool" together that is impossible to guess at. Hopefully he guesses what it can be used for before we do!
 
Rody,

A stick of chewing gum, a paper clip and a piece of PVC pipe. GO! :D

Is my last name McGyver? ;-) The batteries in my camera were dead so they're recharging as we speak (hate to use my phonecam). I'll see if I can shoot something tomorrow morning and then find somewhere to host it. Can you bear the suspense? ;-)

Cheers ROdy
