It had so much paint on the cabinet that I am on my second can of stripper. I am finally getting down to the wood, but now there is white paint imbedded in the grain of the wood!

Glenn, will I ever get this cabinet back to the original? Geeze, I can't believe what some people do to these antique cabinets and machines!

On a good note, my Wilcox and Gibbs sews beautifully!

Nancy, Please post pictures of your work. I would love to see your finished cabinet. At first it was just the Singer decals that intrigued me, then other machines, and now the cabinets and irons. Wishing for a big basement!
