Out of the garage into the house "WORK in PROGRESS" (COMPLETED)

Well, it's done except for the decals, which I can not locate. Machine stripped and re-painted. Dry, flaky, peeling, damaged veener fixed or replaced. I think "TAWANDA" turned out good.

I used a "Demel" tool. A small hand-held tool that allows you to do many operations. It has a small buffing wheel that you can apply polishing compound to and away you go.

I have been thinking that I need to buy a Dremel tool. Now, you have convinced me. You have done a wonderful job restoring the cabinet and sewing machine.
