I'm with Jon. I work 3 jobs and play with my collectable machines when I need a break from reality. I should probably give them up. I have enough machines to play with at work.
Although I would really love to learn how to do the shellac and refinishing, someday.
And I want to paint a couple of my machines.
And steam-punk one.
And it would be cool to Mod-podge a machine with fabric.
Ah, man! I've got a list!
