My grandfather and great grandfather used an immense root cellar. Money was very tight back in those days so they supplemented their incomes by taking in blades (saws, axes) to sharpen on their achaic sharpening wheel. The wheel started iff being about 16 inches in diameter. Its is now perhaps 8.
When I was little, before the house, cellar and property were 'turned under', I remember exploring that cellar. I'm sure that I could hear the ghostly sound of axes being sharpened on that wheel.
