hello everyone. i just picked up a white 1927 sewing machine. first question is this machine suitable for lighter work, like wallets. second question i also picked up an old singer table that belong to my grandfather it has a 1/3 hp motor, clutch pullies. the machine was fitted to another table, so no machine. so my question is can i retrofit the white to the singer belt drive. or would this be a big pain in the butt. i would like to keep and use the table so if i cant use the white are there any good antique singer sewing machine people out there. thanks gritty

wow the muscle detail in the horses is amazing. what are the dimensions of this piece

great suggestion itch. i just picked up a piece of granite literally the size of a cinder block. i went by a monument shop and asked them if they had any drops. $1600 for a 2.5 x 8 piece of granite countertop is really expensive. are they going to polish the edges and install it? you should be able to pick up for $25 a sf. most companies have this size in remnants.. look around. i used to do granite work. one of our biggest problems was getting rid of remnant material. it has already been paid for so it is just straight profit. i would stay away from manufactured stone true it's mainly quartz, but only 85 % the rest is epoxy. it will probably be as much as natural stone. most comanies dont have as much reminant because the slabs are smaller. i hope this helps gritty

i'm new to the site and just came across your letters. thanks
