How could anyone in their right mind RUIN a perfectly good piece of sewing equipment like that. Now if it was made of wood and some dummy did something like that, o.k., but a real machine to just ruin, I'd almost rather see one sit in a barn than be abused like that.I wouldn't want something that tacky in my house. I don't consider that thing art, but maybe he does. Probably someone who really thinks it's gold or something will be dumb enough to pay him some good money for it, but not that much.
