It took a little while to upload but i think they all made it. The last two are of the "can". Amazing to me being a non sewing person how significant a tiny little piece can be to the originality, and functionality of a machine.
So my plan for this is to restore it to working condition. I have been restoring wood boats for years so i am pretty savy when it comes to very old preservation. The wood on the cabinet will only be cleaned and oiled. I refuse to scrape 100 years of patina off anything,( unless its too far gone). It will actually devalue an item to people who are looking for original pieces.
I have been a member of wood boat forums and restoration forums and i must say you guys really have a very,very,nice site. I have been able to find everything i need as far as info on this machine and the mechanical restoration i'm going to do. But i may ask the experts a question or two if i may.
I am looking forward to this project!!! Gonna be a bit different in size then what im used to. My grand mother taught me how to sew 25 years ago when i was a little boy. I'm looking forward to using this machine to re acquaint myself....
