Candace, Thanks for posting the tutorial and helpful info on the Elnas.

At first, I couldn't get the link to show the info, so I took the elkgrove portion of the link to look for the link on the Elna repair.

Your orchids are very pretty!!!

I am looking for a nut for a 1911 Michigan Farmer sewing Machine. The nut is a 7/16" with 18 NF.

Anamaria, Did you figure out how to get the hand wheel off that machine? What is the machine?

Where's the nut located on the machine?

Hi Monica, No, I haven't figured out how to get the wheel off. I will keep trying if not she will come up with me to the next TOGA. I have been doing some detail cleaning, all the metal, and the inside, making her shine. Was thinking of applying shelac using Glenn's tutorial. Here is a picture of her so far. The slide plates, and bobbin winder are all done, they just need to go back on. I will post a picture when she is all done. She is looking good.

Grayhare,
I think the previous post was correct, it looks to me like the small pin in the. Center of the shaft will have to be driven out with a drift pin pinch. Preferably one with a "hollow" end. A flat punch will work, but it would deformed the nicely rounded end of your pin.

She is looking very PRETTY! You are definitely a meticulous worker; she shines! Plus, all your tools are so neatly lined up! Beautiful decals!!

When I am not sewing or working on sewing machines I make mine furniture in 1/12 scale. I would like to show you a few pieces. These are my wife's parlor furniture in miniature. The mini-table is setting on tip of the full size table
