The collector enjoys examining his machinery, noting the condition and unique features. He has made efforts to restore and modify some items, including straightening a small, hardened steel shaft he thought might be broken. Using his lathe, he carefully measured high points and gently tapped the shaft back into shape, avoiding hard hits that could cause snapping. This cautious approach was successful, and he managed to straighten the shaft just enough to be functional again.
