    Miriam,

    Can you get Phil to take a pic of this machine as you are using it and it smoking so I can get a better idea of what you are fighting with?

    [QUOTE=miriam;5966566]WORK LIGHT

    Miriam,
    Dh swears by headlights, he is an electrician and works for AT&T, does most of his work after dark. There are a few types that are adjustable.

    The led work light is still on the IKEA website for $9.99.

    Thank you for the beautiful wisteria photo. Unfortunately, it doesn't grow this far south in FL. It will grow in the upper third of the state but I have never seen it there as gorgeous as yours. I miss it still, even after living in central FL for more than 45 years. Just wish that I could smell it too. We had some on one side of our porch in Indy. I still remember sitting on the porch swing and enjoying the fragrance.

    The store nearest me 125 miles away does not stock it. I'm thinking mail order.

    Ditto that!!! I can't believe my eyes. That may be the most beautiful machine I have ever seen...at least a photo of but not up close and personal. Thanks for sharing.

    Thanks, I was hoping others would post "progress" pictures of their "un-savable" machines as well.
