It slows down the process, but is very rewarding and anyway I am not in any hurry. It suits my style.
I hope you enjoy them.

John,
That is way cool!!!!! I love it! I see that you used the rubber tubing for the belt. I understand that works better with the plastic machine wheels. I like your cabinet and drawers with the green felt. You just gave me a tip on lining my drawers.
I agree that treadling is a wonderful way of slowing one down to enjoy the process.
Welcome! And thank you for posting you wonderful setup.
