Patcher is now "Mobile..." well sort of....!
I have finally gotten the platform cut and sized, actually made a pair of them... I also finally selected a set of 2 swivel & 2 locking casters for the Patcher & Stand, although I'm beginning to wonder whether I went a bit under-spec on the weight range.... She doesn't roll as well as I'd hoped... but then again the wheels to be had these days at the "Big Box" shops just don't seem to meet the needs of rigs like this. Also took the added step to bolt the stand to the table too.... so now she is not only bolted properly to the stand, but to the platform too.... With any luck, she won't take another fatal tumble as I suspect she has in the past... given all the broken parts I had to replace, and the gash on her "forehead..."
Anyway, sure beats dragging it around.... at least now it is mobile... I also had to make a couple new rails for the drawer I picked up. The old rails were a bit tired to say the least, and probably had a lot to do with why there was "No" drawer with the unit when I picked it up... Vintage Singer drawer, new rails I guess I can't complain. I've done a couple little projects on her and she is clacking away like a champ. Now if my ambitions meet my intentions... maybe I'll find some more interesting stuff to do... For now she has finally made the return to the land of the living... hopefully never to be in the sad state I found her in again.
