I agree that I'm not finding any water slides that interest me:< Something like this would be fun. I just wish I could find it in a water slide and not a sticker! http://images.search.yahoo.com/image...G2rWM&fr=aaplw |
Wow that could be really fun to make your own water slide decals! Does anyplace sell less of it? I could have a Miriam sewing machine... Oh dear. I'll be dreaming up what goes on it...

You could put a photo of your "sewing" grandchildren on their own special machine.

About 5 years ago, I painted 1/2 a motorcycle (long story, but I wasn't the one who crashed it (nor was DH), only the one who fixed it)
To do the painting, I bought a HVLP paint gun at Princess Auto, our equivalent of Harbor Freight. It was about $20, iirc. At the time, the next door neighbor was a licensed bodyman. He looked at the gun and figured that it was a professional gun, but refurbed. I used the gun with the air compressor we had in the garage, about 9 CFM, barely enough to drive it, but all it really meant was that I had to wait for the compressor to charge back up quite often. Motorcycle plastics take a lot more time to paint than any sewing machine, the compressor wouldn't have to have a huge tank (which seems to be what drives the cost up), just the ability to drive the gun (it would have the requirements on the package) As for removing the existing paint, Dave McCallum has a bit to say about that: http://www.featherweight221.com/fwrx...95046357133719 I'm going to try to take one of these on in the next few months. I have a featherweight that's been in pieces for months waiting on paint. The decals are here, the replacement parts it needed are here. It's all sitting in the sewing room looking forlorn. It's about time it became priority. |
Good luck on your re-paints...would love to see photos of your machines after refinishing.

Miriam, is the machine you posted dirty or is that the finish? Did someone start to take the finish off?
|
That machine is one awful mess. Those black spots are pits. Someone has taken off some of the finish with crude tools. I think it could be a good machine if someone knew how to paint it up.

I think it is a very old Singer. The innards are ok.
