[@peterfjordings4188]

The hole in the bottom is for fixing it to your desk plate. There is a 90 degree angled pipe missing with a clamp of some sort. Usually, a winged screw that presses the clamp against the underside of the table. So this piece is missing.

Congratulations on the excellent work. Although, if I can give an opinion, that blue color of the video of the corn milling machine would be lovely in that sharpener. Maybe it's because my favorite color is blue. 🤷‍♀️🥰

[@Voartist]

There were a lot of parts for such a small item! Your attention to detail and being slow and deliberate at every point (or segment as I think about your resotrations) is a great example for those of us who are DIYers. In fact, today I was using a chain saw and pole saw to cut branches from several trees in our yard, and the chain came off of the pole saw twice. I was aggravated but while fixing the problem your restoration techniques popped into my thoughts right then and I used your techniques in finding the problem and fixing it. After watching so many of your videos it was almost automatic, like I imagined how you would address and fix the problem(s). Nothing was broken but needed adjustment, and I had to disassemble a few parts. By cleaning the area so I could see the parts, and going slowly and deliberately, and not letting my aggravation cause me to lose my concentration, I was able to see, inside the area where the bar and chain attach to the motor, a very small adjustment screw move that I would've missed by being hasty, and I was able to easily make an adjustment, reassemble, and start using the pole saw again. The chain didn't slip off of the bar anymore after that and at the time I decided to actually fix the problem and not just put the chain back on, I was only about halfway through all the cutting I needed to do. After I got done, my mind wandered back to your videos, and I further realized that as much as we all like to see the finished product, how you get your restorations to the end-point is as much as, or more imporant than the finished and restored item. Thanks for sharing your videos and the lessons taught! And you don't even talk. :)

One of these was on every teacher's desk in my schools; three primary schools and one academy , even the high school where I did night classes. It must have been a profitable line; never knew they were German built. That was in the 60s/70s and every one of them was blue. I thought you'd use blue Hammerite; would have been a pretty good match. Like so many other commentors, I'm not a huge fan of the yellow but it should always be easy to find, even in the dark. Seemed like quite a straightforward job this one but, after such a thorough clean, it should last another 70 years - they seem to have been built to last. Vorsprung durch technik and all that.😁 P.S. I was always told that that phrase didn't actually mean anything in German but I just googled it to check the spelling and, apparently: 'progress through technology' who knew? 😁
