My DH has 11 tractors at last count. Do any of them run? Well, one sort of does. Then he also has all the bits and pieces to build one from scratch. :)
I have one old work horse that is early '70's vintage, which I use daily, a treadle that is "almost" ready to be used, (cabinet brought in from storage last weekend). I also have an older elecric that a gf gave me. I haven't had the time to check it out yet to see if it works, or maybe needs some help. I also have a serger which I use on occasion.
We both support the others' hobby. Makes conversation at the end of the day much more interesting when we each have something new to share.
