I don't know how those hold up either. See if he has any kind of guarantee on that before you shell out hard earned $$$. I think there is info somewhere on building up the side of the post to hold a hand crank attachment but seems like a lot of trouble. The Singer Spartan or the 99s will HC beautifully - they are small but they are heavy enough to stay put. I think a little weight when you HC helps or you might have to find a way to anchor the machine.
