Thanks for the pictures Steve, can't wait to see it assembled. Interesting feed dog adjustment.

if I wasn't so far I would jump in on the armor classes! sounds like fun to me.. I am always up for new things, I want to do a stained glass class, sure I can do it by myself but going to them you find where all the great supplies are at.

lol, Ok folks here are the photos. There are a bunch so I will post them in a couple messages.

Here is cleaning up the irons. NOT a repaint. that is just a wipe down with a oily rag (sewing machine oil)

The simplest Pitman I have ever seen. slightly tapered stick with rounded ends and two holes, that's it.

That is really nice.. liking the ones in the back too... Is this room all sewing machines? loving it. I wouldn't be able to leave this room for a minute.. really nice treadles.

girliegirl

never saw a bobbin with a hinge? it that correct that I see a hinge bobbin? that is a first for me.

SteveH

Coffee Table was a GW find...

You want one? They usually go for a LOT more than I paid. Good luck! (Really)

The room is actually my living room. the G&B will be relocating once work is done. But yes there is a L shaped couch, 5 treadles (6 with the G&B now) and one 241-12 industrial. (oh and a coffee table)

Yep, hinged bobbin holder.

girliegirl

i need another treadle like a hole in my head! sure why notttttttttt. lol.. the hinged bobbin is neat! and imagine complete sewing machine with one!
