Thank you! I've been doing the same.

LOL! We've been the same the last month or so, but mostly snow and bleak, not rain. Either way, I'm not getting a lot of natural vitamin D right now either. When I used to go to the Coast for the summers and Christmas, I always longed for home (the wide open prairies) when it would rain for days on end. I can just imagine living on an island!
By shovelhead, do you mean the front inspection plate? It has a set of mini tension discs to put the thread through when winding a bobbin. That must be what you mean by the sticking out screw.
Yep,. the shovel head is exactly that. It always reminds me of one of the shovels we use in the garden, or on the ice, or something. Thanks for the clarification! I couldn't tell they were tension disks from the photos I have seen. That makes so much sense! You wouldn't have to hold the thread to tension it, like I was taught to on the Singers!
