    Really cool machine, so glad you were able to find one for your collection. The video was also interesting. Can't imagine making all of those gloves she had piled there. Reminds me of a lady I took fly tying lessons from, she would be in a room all day long making fishing flies, seemed to be very intense, time consuming work without much pay for it.

    I was able to finish the base for it last night. Fun to see I can still sorta swing a chisel (the hinges)

    And just because this IS a quilting board after all, here it is sitting on the awesome quilt a friend made for heather and I as a wedding gift. (I was originally going to use a whole set of these that I took, but it was a bit busy as a background)

    Wonderful and the quilt too. How many of these little guys are there out there? I had seen on in a pic on the net, but that is it.

    Lovely machine...I really enjoyed the video....looks like you really have to concentrate on that job. Thanks for sharing. We get to see machines we (at least me) never knew about.
