It's a great tool! The looks on people's faces when I pull it out of my bag is priceless too.
I took it with me today when I went to look at an industrial, and used it to tip the machine back and the gal goes "What's that!?!" It also cushioned the motor when we put it in the truck and I officially upped my machine count again... *sigh*

Could be even fancier, but I used thrift/recycle components. This way I don't need a foot feed, and can leave it running part throttle for a bit to let a drop of oil work in or, check the speed.

I love this!! My little brain is just chugging away looking for a good way to use this with a singer machine (which is most of what i have) too .... I think it can be done and I would love it for a couple of things: 1. working on them 2. teaching people to FMQ an not have to worry about the speed while they get the hand motion....
Another doo-hickey made from thrift/recycle found photo enlarger, is a stand for my digital camera. It comes with a built in lamp, and you can adjust the height, and angle of the camera. Its base is also a nice white backdrop.

That's a great idea! I have the enlarger, but am not quite at the point where I want to disassemble it, despite the fact that I haven't used it in a few years.
