      Maybe it makes up for my lack of skill with rendering that you have. 😉

      Dave your rendering skills are more than “just fine”. We just generally do different types of modeling….. my craziness just allows for weirder results 👍 😆

          Thank you Rich and Charles.

          Rich, I expect I'll need to build out the shop more before I try to animate it. 😉

                  This is getting better and better. I was going to say, when is the animation coming but Rich beat me to it.

                      That's some delicious modelling in the axle. Especially the top of the neck as it tapers and bends.

                              I'm not exactly sure what this is used for but I made a model of it anyway. The handle drives the ratchet wheel which drive the pointy bit on top upward. There's a tapered squre hole on the bottom of the handle which would appear to allow the handle to sit on something. I presume the pointing bit is used to split something.

                              And a cut-away view showing the threads and the rachet wheel and pawl.
