Yall have made my day.....maybe week. hehehe I never thought of heat . I just rely on my hammer. I'm thinkin that there is so much wrong with it that Imay just paint the cabinet and use my ole singer portable in it. oh and the plugie thingie that is shown in the picture. I ain't got one like that. This silly thing has a plug that goes into the wall. In fact it has 2 of 'em. And to top it all off , the cords they are on are only like 12 inches long. I think the hammer . What do yall think? hehehe
