Sledge Hammer!!! :lol: :lol: :lol:

Actually I cut an opening the same size of the treadles inside dimensions and I have wood "plates" that I can put in the hole so I can run different machines from Singers ,Whites, Kenmores, and even some industrials.

But the hole was cut with a Jig Saw and I used a drill motor to make the rounded corners before it was cut out.

Well those photos were taken not long after the transformation but you can go out there right now and it looks just the same with the exception of more machines and a set of treadle irons set to the side ready to restore.

I can not do clutter I have to have it spotless before I start a project and I am always cleaning up as I go so there is really never any clutter around.

So I had some paint left over from the restoration of our home (my wife didn't like the color and I had 3 gallons of it) and I used it for the studio. At first it was kinda overwhelming but I really like it!!!

What is the name of that color, billy?
I saw the studio before and liked it...it seems brighter now. I could really get some serious sewing done in there!:thumbup:

It is a Sherwin Williams color and the name is "Paprika". Although it is more of a Shrimpy Orange color in a way. But it looked horrible in the house but out in the studio it works really well!!

My studio will be finished by the end of summer. The walls will be a light gray. Design wall felts in white and black to show every color at its best.
