Had lunch with an old friend yesterday near
The Miniature Engineering Craftsmanship Museum in Carlsbad, CA. I left some extra time in the day to visit and spent most of it in their library. Among the many
Projects in Metal back issues, this Finger Treadle project really amused me. I scanned it and a few other articles before leaving to beat traffic home.
This morning I found this thread plus a few more recent YouTube videos below. I thought I'd update this thread a bit, since I'm obviously not the only one amused...
David Pessall's build from the PIM plans
Project Factory's minimalist CNC version
Chuck's exquisite heirloom quality gifts
and Dave Gjessing's single mounted, geared concept
Not sure if I can post the PIM scans without being tarred and feathered, but I'm happy to do so with absolution from the mods.
