I need to meet an old saddle maker to teach me how!

Nancy, unfortunately Uncle Bob has also passed and I don't believe that the ranch repairs their own tack any longer. Gayle, my aunt, is interested but doesn't have the back tolerance for lifting a lot of tack and Kenny, her current husband, thinks it's wate of his time. Not sure what happened to the sewing machine that Bob used.

Now let's see, how could you hide a machine with a neck that long?

NO, I don't think you can sneak something like that machine in the house - even my husband would notice that! Hehehehehehe

HM I like the lamp idea... Paint it camo so nobody knows it's there

I picked up three more project machines this weekend. A Kenmore Stylist 86, a Singer Model 15 that I had thought was a clone at first, and a Singer 99-13 in a bentwood case. [ATTACH=CONFIG]375964[/ATTACH][ATTACH=CONFIG]375965[/ATTACH][ATTACH=CONFIG]375963[/ATTACH]
