Ditto on the Nova blog. I actually WENT to her FW Maintenance class (1 day). We brought our machines and we learned how to disassemble our machine, clean and oil, and make the outside look like new. She is "hands down" the BEST authority on Featherweights. And she pulls NO PUNCHES when it comes to how to care for your FW. I felt like an authority myself when I left, lol. I signed up for her monthly newsletter and have learned something new almost every month. Your FW is beautiful!
