You did such a good job with your machine. I'm trying to figure out what I want to make on my W&G.

thanks so much! she still needs to be polished some more... and i want to see what i can do to make her shine again. she has no lacquer left really... so her finished is dull and pitted (well not really pitted but there is a hole in one of her parts.) i like her worn looking. it shows me that she was previously well loved... and that i can continue to love on her.

I have 4 original W&G needles I got from Alex sussex (his website slips my mind at the moment) I also bought some needles from eBay that are similar. I've heard mixed things about the needles saying you shouldn't use anything but the W&G needles and others saying you can use the Organ needles. I'll have to look on the package to see if there's a number on it. Sorry I'm not much help in that department.
