I'm back working in the dungeon. (My basement. A hoarder's paradise.) I hate to throw anything away. Does anyone need a solid hand wheel? I have one handy, left over from a conversion. I'm sure I have more!

A cautionary tale: THIS is what happens when you have no self-control. I just bought this:

Isn't it slick??

Very cool looking machine Miz Johnny. Did you built the base for this machine, or is it a redone base? The whole thing really looks great!

Oops, I see this already got answered! That is what I get for being in a quilting class all day then having 4 pages to read!
