Hi, English sharpening steels don't usually have 6 sides in my, somewhat limited, experience- could we have a close up of the blades please. Is it six pointed or six sided? In other words is it star ...
Hi, Are the points very sharp? What are the ends of the container made of? The points look like the ends of (short)double point needles, do they come out of the container or are they fixed in? I don...
That's brilliant guys, thank you all so much- I'll mark this as a solved mystery
I think IMASapp may be right- I've tried it with a pin between the screw & chuck (can't loosen the tiny screws on the chuck yet) and moved the square broken bit to up to the other square guide (the on...

Really nice tool,
It's a split table spinning wheel but you have it incorrectly assembled. The flyer/bobbin assembly needs to go between the maidens (uprights bits) then you have a distaff arm (which is where you cur...
Candle wick trimmer- When using beeswax or tallow candle the wax burns down faster than the wick- the wick gets too long and you need to trim it to keep the flame from getting too smoky. Use like a ...
