I believe the Steel part to be a Black Powder Main Spring Compressor ...

The wooden one beside the Sharpie could serve as a Hooey Stick.

I was completely off on my two guesses.

Thanks for educating me!

Put a piece of paper in the slit on the Woodie thing, nail into a hole on a bench and use it to read your measurements. Or give it a big toss.

I thought the wood one was a homemade plum Bob or a spinning top

Now I know why my fingers hurt putting my "back action lock" together by hand. A spring compressor!
