Quadruple WOW. I am so impressed with the drive movement. Keep the pictures coming Steve. BTW, like the pic with your fingers. They look as if they are from a mechanic's hands.

That's cool. You don't see square head bolts very often anymore. I think they went out with the Titanic.

This is so interesting! Remind me, the Howe is dated from when? I'm ready for the next installment of pics.

Sorry, I'm making a suit of body armor for a person who competes with Team USA in the Battle of Nations (it's on the web) so it slow in the sewing world.

I did do some painting tests and determined that flat black primer, satin lacquer looked best... (grin...)
