I came to mention this. I have several styles in my shop but I never really use any of them. I have a larger one, an old Stanley model whose number I have forgotten, that has seen some use. The smaller ones are something I've just toyed with.
I have them only as novelty items, really. I much prefer a drill press, where I can.
I kinda want to also build a foot-powered lathe, though I'd never use that either.
Anyhow, they made bigger versions than the Yankee. I can't justify using them, but they are neat to hold and are fascinating examples of ingenuity. It's dark and I am in bed, but if reminded I will get some pictures.
