just by smelling and guessing it I would say this is a electrical burnisher/waxer for edges or to burn small grooves....?!? did I smell it......?? Jimbob

Love it, absolutly love it....been thinking making a Benjo case for my Dad for some time.....also not bonded and using plywood.....not sure about creating all the curves.....is the suitcase heavy?? James

nice work, I like the pointed and then cut some end better, very nice stitching.....what machine did u use?? I like the two tone and also the edges, very good job!! James

ohhhhhhhhh, mighty fine work here....love the idea, the craftmanship and the carving came out just fine....pull my hat!@@@ The leather thingy is s shoe sole anvil or metal last.... greetings James

WD-40 is NOT a lubricant!!! It is a protective film and as said it has solvents....when u check back in a few weeks it will have gummed up, because the film is still there and solvent whent into the air....WD-40 has been specially invented to cover/film/seal metal parts on rockets in the 40ties or so, never meant to be a lubricant that carries a oil film in between to metals to prevent ceasing or abreasion.....Ohhh and that German Balistrol stuff works wonder on German air rifles and dog fleas....@@@@ Not on sewing machines....!!! Hope I spelled all this right.....and call Bob Kovar he has Gallons of the right stuff to use.... Aloha.... Jimbob

got hold of a manual.....according to them....it is a plunger for sewing machine oil,,,u regulate oil with it...???!!!??? James

nice work.....always good to jump right in!! Ur edges are still little ruff, try to cut more precise....also sand and buff/polish/burnish ur edges....careful with the edge dye...I love the little spots!! U done well, and the next ones will be better and then ones after that will be wonderful....keep er going!! Greetings James

Sure is Bob... Them motors work like a charm, no better than that DC servo Motor....it makes life sooooo much easier!! And as usual....it came fast, neatly packed and just as Promissed....well done Bob!! Folks, these motors work wonder and they are strong Too!! Give Bob a try.....he will treat u right!!! Jimbob

Have not looked, but think it is not....I would like to have the hand lifter/screw....if you still have my data, please send it my way!! Thanks so much!! PS: motor and all other stuff arived few days ago...thanks!!

bob this maybe another silly question, but I have a like swivel thingy on the left side on the machine, where you can take the cover plate of and access the needle bar and such....its like a little stubby and swivels somewhat...??? what's that for??? Thanks for the info on the lifter....I can live with the foot lift but be nice to have both!! Thanks James

Hello Any idea why my Singer has no lifter....? Only a bar, which I guess was conected to a chain, so you can lift the pressure foot by foot. I wonder if I can attach a manual pressure foot lifter....where I can lift the pressure foot with my left hand....like on other machines....? Thanks so much!!

Been there....says out of stock!!!????? Can I still order???? Greetings James
