Just to clarify, I have been doing this for a little over a year. My birthday is this Saturday and I got my first "basket case" treadle machine on my Birthday last year......
I've been repairing cars as a hobby since I was 10 (in 1971), started making Jewelry as a hobby in 1977, Armor in the mid 80's, and blacksmithing in the 90's. So I do have some practical knowledge to bring to the discussion. I research like a fiend and love the oracle Google for answering my endless questions.
But I am still a "newbie" in the collecting and restoring world.
