Sounds about right. My SMAD started last fall because my daughter wanted to learn to sew. I had a Singer 101 that I bought close to 30 years ago stored at my mom & dad's place. I bought it, restored the cabinet, put it away and never looked at it again until last year when my dad passed and I had to get some of my stuff out of there. I enjoyed cleaning it and getting it to sew again plus I had to learn to use it so I could show my daughter. I became disabled a few years ago. I can't do any heavy lifting and I'm really sensitive to cold these days. Sewing and sewing machines gives me a hobby that is light enough to do yet and I can sew indoors in the winter. I can rebuild a sewing machine in the LR if I want, I can't say the same about my woodworking tools.
It seems there are two big controversies here. To grease or not to grease followed up by "Which Grease?".
No thread drift here. Nope, not here.
