You know, the stitch regular is in a very practical place for the feed dogs, but not if you already started sewing. And that little thingy where the wheel belongs- is that the bobbin winder?

Yes, it is the bobbin winder.

I will post photos in the morning when I have time to shrink them down, I had to take the bottom off and clean it out and re-oil everything. I sewed with it and I made a video which I will put up in the public section of my dropbox in the morning.

I also fabbed up a pedal that works

Love the design and the color. I like the belt placement. Unusual and different!
