I blame the spirit of this board and its inspiration for the results...
I AM sending a picture once the lower half is assembled to the original seller (dealer) on EBay....muhahaha
But, I'm not done yet.
I have paint touch up to do.
I have the take up to manufacture (TONIGHT hopefully)
I have final "polish" then clearcoat to do.
I have to swap out the "replacement" feed dog arm when it arrives
I have to find an appropriate needle
I have to get the correct shuttle and bobbin in house and cleaned up.
I have to build a portable case for it
I have to arrange the 3:1 hand crank mechanism to work the belt pulley.
I have to learn how to sew with it... (insert goofy grin)
