Update on Miniature Wheel Grinder

[flyingtractors1]

Just finished an updated version of my miniature wheel grinder with some added mechanical features. Maybe now it is really finished - if anything really ever is. Ralph

Thanks Danny. It was designed as it progressed, and one thing inspired another, etc. Ralph

Thanks Tim. I appreciate your thoughts. I also think of it as mechanical art. Ralph

very well thought out mechanical design.
A nice work of mechanical art, and very nice details built into the whole scenery as well.

Thanks Hobby. It started out to be a simple mini finger powered replica of a peddal wheel grinder I remembered from childhood; then it became complex when I decided to power it othrerwise. Solenoids and moment arms worked well for this. Then it was obviously missing an operator, so that happened next. I think it's finished now?

Now he needs a mechanical woodcutter as a companion.

Hi Tim. Yes, I actually have been pondering a saw mill or drag saw scenario of sorts. Any body have any pictures of such to model after?

Well, I just couldn't stop:wall: -- one more iteration. Maybe now it's finished if I start something new.
