Thanks again, Cathy. My neighbor found some Boye #8 online and is ordering them.
It is so funny.... I think I'm just as excited about the neighbor getting her grandmother's treadle working as if it were my own. My hubby (a big hunter) tells me that it is just as enjoyable helping the grandsons get their 1st buck, etc. ... now I understand. Watching someone else catch the 'bug' of vintage machines or getting out in the woods is such a rush.
