Whetstone

This manually operated whetstone was created by Tex from a discarded millstone and some scrap wood. The frame design is based on pictures he found online of crank and pedal operated whetstones.

It is surprisingly effective at sharpening various tools and knives, and can usually be seen in operation annually at the Abbey Medieval Festival in Caboolture.
