Oh, what a great idea! I have 2 of them in my basement!!! Now to just convince my DH that I need to have one of them hooked up to water for washing fabrics :-D :thumbup:
I remember my grandmother and grandfather had one of these. They were the only people I knew who didn't have a modern washing maching, and I was fascinated by it. I can remember watching my grandfather running things through the wringer, and how perfectly squished and flat they came out on the other side. I could have watched him for hours.
