I second the motion Don.

Do you know any of the history of this engine.  Looks late 1800s to me.

This is about all the information that I have. It apparently dates to circa 1900.

Do you have a link to your Google photos album? Google doesn't allow searching of other people's albums...

I never thought of trying to actually use one of these grinding tools to sharpen a knife.

I have several of these.

Reminds me of Chris actually using one of the model lathes to turn wood.

This is a very elegant engine.

Thank you for sharing the video.
