   How many DIYers does it take to sharpen a pencil?

   3. 1 to run the steam engine, 1 to crank the handle on the tailstock feed and 1 to supervise.

   Hi Ken,
   That’s exactly what happen (I was the one cranking ;-))

   The watchmaker’s lathe is a bit of precision overkill, though….:D

   Nice traction engine! I just restored a little Mamod TE1. Nice (simple) but nothing compared to that one!
