Bought some and made some pencil sharpeners this winter.
First one is a replica of a pointer i found a pat. drawing of, it has a sprocket and chain drive the original had a gear and rack.
Pencil dispenser and a tiny falling wood pecker.
Another pointer.
Very primitive sharpener.
Cool sharpener.
Another crude model.
Auto feed sharpener.

Quite the collection there Lenn!
I have a couple of the mechanical ones myself, but the handcrafted ones are truly wonderful creations of a clever mind and able hands!!!
