I posted a pic of this 1922 singer 16 - 188 walking foot ...

powered by a 2011 arrow clutch motor ...

Only test ran today ,,, Oooooooooo boy. I have very good contorl over the speed.

It has to have a paint job,,, I was thinking it looks like a... pada < Bear.

In time I will post photo like in a blog , This was a total rebuild on that top, it had things like 3 hinge pockets for hinges and where the wrong shape.

hole for the machine 1 1/2" to wide,, small stuff ..

so it was a happy 4 th of July ..

I have this in the house tonight , I don't like the looks of it .... since theres is no oil catch pans, I have parts, maybe make a slide out drawer between the irons, combine catch pans and a drawer
If nothing else, this is a machine I can have fun with, and not screw it up ..

I wanta paint it Pink with red and blue poka dots,

or picture's of good singer decals for some thing like this machine.

I'm thinking out loud and looking for Idea's. It's only 4" longer than a standard treadle

I could go for hot pink with turquiose polka dots! It looks like a powerhouse machine. What is the measurement of the harp space?

John,

Have you seen the pics of the multi colored parkerized military style equipment? I've wanted to do a machine like that.
The main part OD green, then black, lighter green or tan. With the wood a neutral color with a mat or satin finish on it.
Girly colors would be OK if it was a Feather Weight or a new plastic thing, but not that old brute.

I have several crinkle paint machines. A brown Kenmore, a gold Kenmore, a black Singer 66-18, and an OD green White Dressmaster. I kind of like them. I think I need to do a group photo of them.

Glad you got him running.

I'D love to do a machine in the Hottest pink you could ever dream of, not the super deep pink.. has to knock your eyes out pink...

I think I found pic's of decals for this,, So it's close to time, to try making decals , I have made stickers

On this 16's cabinet,, I've had this in mind, or somthing like this...

make this piece a Drawer face , from there go with oak as a rim under the rest of the face.

I think I can give this a 20's look and be much more in home friedly..

In first photo...With a 'level' like that, you must do some serious wood working. LOL Oh, and glad you got it working. Will love to see the photos when you get him done.

I think his name is July (like July Sackett) and he deserves stars and stripes. I simply love the way the treadle's pitman has turned into a foot control. A powerhouse just waiting to happen!

The skirt looks good but with the low point in the middle, will it get in the way of your legs?

the finished results!!!
