But for now, I'm planning to rig up some metal plate that will swing into place to hold the top up. The cabinet is all assembled, treadle is oiled and runs smoothly, and machine is all cleaned up. I just need handles for the drawers and some pseudo bracket. For 122 years old, she makes a very pretty stitch! |
Oh, don't be too impressed--the only hard thing about it was going around all those angles on a serger. As for the hanging, it's stuck up there with clothespins, and I noticed this am that one has fallen down.
I am of the "make it work somehow" mentality. I once kept a dryer going for years with a magnet to keep the door shut. Why do things properly when you can use a clothes pin or magnet??

Thank you Glenn for your service to this great country of ours. Our flag is proudly flying as well. My father served in the Navy during WWII. I have a nephew serving now who was named after my Dad. He is a Navy seal. So grateful for his service as well. I know we have others on this board who have served and ones who have loved ones still serving. And then there are those unselfish ones who gave their lives for our freedom. May we never forget them and their sacrifice. Thank you one and all for keeping this great country of ours free. May we all have a most happy & blessed 4th of July holiday. Blessings to all, Sandi |

I think I could find something that works the same way; it will not have the ornateness. |
