I love it. The Apple peeler is a great idea. Something else to search for. 🤠

My grandchildren like it. They’re too young to “get” steam, but they love to turn the crank and watch everything work!

I think its a terrific idea for the young ones.

Very clever and it would be a fun thing for kids at steam shows.

How do we know the engine isn't powering the giant hand?  ;)

Neat.
The extra carnival sideshow of a giant hand operating the rides should pull in the crowds. ::)

Just for fun I rigged up an antique apple peeler to run this steam set-up. https://youtu.be/LmkTKrh4xOo
