Scale: Unknown. A model of a shaping machine made entirely in metal with wooden components and a brass frame. The uprights depict architectural columns and the whole structure is rectangular in plan view. Two crossbars support an axle on which is placed a brass and steel cylindrical wheel with five spokes which can be turned by a wooden handle. Around the perimeter of the wheel is a number of roughly shaped wooden blocks. At one short end of the frame is a convex mounting on which is placed a cutting tool that can be moved from side to side using a wooden handle and also in and out using a second handle. The wheel has a guard consisting of seven curved steel rods. The model is mounted on a steel plate coloured and browned to resemble mahogany. On label: 'Shaping machine'. On baseboard: 'D'.
