Singer 66 door stop almost ready for work.
Hello all,
With all the rain, one can't do much outside work so I decided to build a case to hold the 1922 66 Red Eye. All I need to do to the 66 is locate a spring for the bobbin winder and either add a motor/controller or a hand crank. The case is fabricated from cedar fence board short pieces from a fencing job. Since it is a "Red Eye", I decided to use red felt to trim it out. I added a few pics for your viewing pleasure. The wood was stained with dk. walnut and top coated with 2 coats of wb poly satin finish. Chow for now.

I have a stack of them made, just didn't put one on yet. I have access to a tool to make the felt pads and cut out about 20 of them. I gave a few to my sister for her featherweight.

To soman2 on your new Singer 66 base:
Nice work, Rodney! A few questions for you, as I also need to build a base for a forlorn 15-91 I am working on.
1. Will you share a photo of the inside of the case? What did you use to hold up the machine - did you rout out a lip to hold the machine up or insert posts of some sort?
2. Did you reinforce the miter joints with a spline, etc, or use internal posts to reinforce the corners?
Thanks very much,
Brian
