Billy, what a great idea. I will be looking forward to this shop each morning. I drink tea though.

I will try to post pictures later today. My sweet hubby drove me 3.5 hours north of our place to purchase a Featherweight. We went back 2 days later to get some specialty wood at the same home and I purchased 2 handcranks. One is a Jones Hand Machine as presented to HRH the Princess of Whales and the other is a Collier's No. 4. I found quite a bit of history on the Jones but am having trouble locating info on the Collier's. Found info on the Collier's No. 3. I just want more and haven't figured out exactly where else to go.

My DH is planning to make a wooden case and stand for each one of them. I love it that my hubby enjoys this new adventure in collecting. The history one finds is terrific.

Here's to you.
