Andy, not to worry. I have never pricked myself hard enough to draw any blood. But, I have on occasion bumped the end of a temple. These Leclerc ones have the teeth barely beyond the wood (maybe 1/32") and not needle sharp. :)
Looks good Bill - my only worry is that your fingers got so close to the end of the temple that I thought sure you were gonna stab yourself. Be Careful of temples, I can't tell you how many times I've stuck my fingers with one of those evil thingies.

The pulleys are wood, and maybe the side to side sway of levers (lamms,treadles) . The shaft the pulleys turn on are waxed. It's just the nature of primitive, simple machines I'm afraid. :)
