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.

Video here (maybe)

Hi Don, do you have the video saved somewhere? like youtube? need help getting it on here?

I seen your Cretors/Sipp video posted this afternoon  8)

I have it in Google Photos and I don’t know how to post it anywhere else.  So, yes and help will be appreciated. Thanks ! Don

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

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

Very nice Don! Would love to see a video  8)

I second the motion Don.

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