    That's a pretty one! I've seen a few of that style and I like the lines and the color. White came up with some pretty cool designs over the years.

    Evaporust is available at Harbor Freight in Olympia. I'm not sure that it's any better than naval jelly though. It will turn metal dark as well. Most do. Most rust converters work by turning red...

    We like tractors too. I just don't care to see old sewing machines turned into them. I've seen a couple in person and wasn't impressed.

    Just the general things to look for on condition. Check as much of the visible wiring as you can. Look for cracks and burnt spots in the insulation. It often gets brittle with age. Things like...

    That's a tough one. Please keep trying to find a home for it first. But then the person you give it to might turn it into a tractor too. If you have to junk it, strip the usable parts like the...

    Labeling something "Heavy Duty" doesn't make it heavy duty. From what I've seen, just the opposite.

    Great haul! Any one of your finds would make for a good day. IIRC the puzzle box is a lot older than the machine. What are the baskets? I haven't heard of those before.

    If the price is any sort of decent at all, Grab it. Don't ask me what a decent price is, BC prices can be far different than here even though we share a border.

    Beautiful quilt! Grandmother's Flower garden is one of my favorite designs. I'm not likely to tackle one myself though just because of the amount of work they take.
