Thanks for the links, Papaw. I'm wondering if this is some kind of tool to help maintain the grinders they made. I haven't a clue.

A person who could really read human minds would be privileged to gaze on some correct imitations of chaos.

What's to envy?
I got rail in inventory and at least 3 torches.
I even have access to grinders that you sit at and remove everything that don't look like an anvil.
Within minutes I can be sitting in a comfortable chair watching some spark maker turn handles on the grinder cause I might mess it up so he'll grind it for me.  I enjoy being an old fart who don't understand the new machines.
