Default ~1886 Jones Serpentine Hand Machine

Also known as a "Cat back".

This machine is the one from the thread "these two beauties are on their way" but I think that a machine this nice deserves it's own thread...

This is one of the machines on my "want list" that I did not expect to find any time soon.

I applied JB Quick to "glue" the foot in place and then used JB Weld to create a back support. It seems to be holding well.

The shuttle feed moves in the same fashion as most machines move the needlebar
