Nothing spectacular, only a small workshop accessory...
I saw the original and thought it would be nice to have one of those...
Very nice!
Agreed , I would like to see more of what's lurking around in the background 😉

The time when I took the pics of the wooden circular saw there was a PRODEX Drill Press and a PERICAUD Band Saw in the background...

Those are Beautiful accessories. Best that I’ve seen!
Don't know if this will even actually qualify for this thread or not, and certainly will be pathetic after Bill's (AirSpyder) showing, which I'm blessed to actually have the bandsaw and workshop from him, so I truly know up close and personal how amazing these creations are in real life!!!
In any case .... here goes.
I have fabricated a sort of not really prototypical nor scale model of a Harp Switch Stand as the throw machine for the switches on my eventual Fn3 scale outdoor railroad. That these are not quite directly "steam" accessories, I am well aware, but I do have several live steam locomotives that will run on this railroad, so in that capacity, these switch stands are .... sort of .... steam accessories.
So here ya go:

Not really all that much in and of itself, but the process by which it was made, and all the fixtures and jigs that I had to build in order to make it, all add up to making this very special to me!
Perhaps I should add that this has equipped me to where I can now build any number of these, and in fact have produced the parts needed to build at least a dozen, which should do me for "Phase 1" of my railroad construction plans.
That's something new to me and very clever Daniel, I'll google and read more about them when I have some time.
Considering that the Fixture and Jig that I built would qualify as accessories in themselves, needed in order to make the Switch Stand accessory, then I might as well show them here too!
The one is actually more of a bending "machine" that is both a fixture and a jig, thus was a far more significant project than the switch stand itself.

I like both of those accessories Charlie, and it is also good seeing Teddy supervising the operations!
