yes. I'm a boy,, thats why I go for the horse power / touque of a machine, most anything I sew is heavy big , so on.

The home machines, I can over heat a motor in minutes.. The wiring you talked about I know what was done and why it worked the way it did, but explianing it on here would take hrs...I've been a goverment emplyee ( army) a millworker, a logger , a farmer , a wanta be hippie, to a carpenter , a truck driver, a pencil pusher , to a IT tech. picked fruit and plow gardens mow lawns. even clean house and wash windows, earned a Phd in home schooling

I can't type nor spell, if I don't know I have no fear in asking no matter how stuipd it may be.. if I don't do it right I'll do it again..

I'm told I'm weird for sending my time and money on these machines, yet as in yesterdays adventures,, yet having one little old lady, roolled down the window of the car she was sitting and tell me her story of learning to sew on a machine just like that ( 1919 128 la vencedora ) and the glow on her face as she put her hand on that machine. was something that can not ever be replaced, being so weird sure brings smiles to many people faces..

I've been very serously thinking doing a public display with these machines.. I have yet to see one person sit down at one of these treadle and make the wheel go around and not have the biggest grin on there face

There a working machine, yet a big kids toy
