Can't believe that with all the machines I have I don't have a spoked handwheel hanging around.

I broke a bone in my foot (long story, not interesting, something about getting older). So, I discovered that while I can drive a car left footed, I cannot work a motor control left footed. So last night I used the treadle, today i am thinking hand crank. Good to have options! Laura

I wish I had room for this one - reasonably priced and such a cute cabinet! I love the cabinets with the maker's name on them! Look at that middle drawer! So cute! Also, the foot pedal!

I wanted to show you this from a 1949 Singer sewing manual. Never in a hundred years would I be able to do what it says.

Nancy thanks for the info on the machine capabilities. I will never hold back again I promise. I really thought that all of you knew that the clear coat to protect the decals from the factory was Shellac. That is all they had back then and it was mention in on of Billy"s tut. Sorry. But being an old furniture restorer I take things for granted and just think every one should know these things. I forget the I have been doing this for 40 + years so please forgive me. It will not happen again.

All Billy gave us the option of was Liquid Gold...that or sending the machine to him for a repaint.

I will be posting the tut in a week when I return from camping and fishing so get all you materials together. Lots of cotton rags(old white T-shirts or mens underware, tighty whities) Linseed oil and denatured alcohol, and maybe a little shellac(clear) Now I am leaving in the am to catch some fish.
