    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2yQp9B9DboY What it would look like if the guys from The Big Bang Theory took apart a sewing machine. A part of me is sad that the machine is destroyed but I think he has a better appreciation of the quality of the old sewing machines.

    Interesting. I'm not into mechanicals, but it was interesting to see the inside parts. There's a lot going on inside our machines!

    Cool, occasionally brutal so fair warning for the tender hearted.

    He should have left the knobs on so he could have manipulate them while he ran it, since he seemed so fascinated with the inner workings.

    I hate it that he tore apart a perfectly good sewing machine; but whatever floats your boat, I guess.
