Anyone Know What This Tool Is?

Thanks guys. I figured I'd get some good info from the knowledgeable members here.

Good to know the cheap ones will work just as well.

Geeze, Jim!  You just can't keep a secret, can you?  LOL

PS.  I wasn't recommending Eastwood, it was just the first I found.  Even the cheapest ones will work for what you need.

Come on, RT.  I thought that you said that you used a stick of balsa and hat pins.  ;-)

Nice. I may have to copy you.

Thanks IKR. That is the first place I went to look after RT told me what it was. Looks like you can chain them together to make them longer. I think I'll pick up a couple of them to play with. The price is right!

Thanks RT! I didn't realize they were so common. Looks really valuable.

It is a contour gauge or profile gauge.  You can get them at most hardware stores.
Here is one link:

In the attached pic, the guy is using a tool to make sure his body is symmetrical. I've never seen one before but I like the idea. Anyone know what it is called?
