I finished the Pfaff 11 base (for now) The corners were re-glued and veneers glued down, some patching of rough edges and voids, stained, shellaced and just waiting to cure. On a whim I decided to pup the machine back on the hinges and take a look at my work. The machine is not resting properly. *sigh. Same base, same hinges, same machine, what could be wrong?
The machine fits on the hinges but the front lip is not resting in the recess. I would have to cut away a smidgen of the wood in front. When not on the hinges it would set in the recess just fine. If I cut the wood I will have to re-stain and re-finish the front edge again. *sigh
