Hello from Argentina :D

[Boguita]

Hello everybody, nice to meet you all.-

I'm Boguita from Buenos Aires - Argentina.-

Since I have known the forum surfing on the web, I usually enter to nourish myself with knowledge that you guys throw in the topics...

As you see, my english it's a little bit rusty, but i will try to improve it.-

The only thing i know to do with leather is to handstitch shoe and boots lasts (handstitch goodyear and norwegian welt).- That's something that i learned from my grandfather that recently passes away.-

In orther to that I recently inherited some sewing machines from him, and i want to restore them and put them back to work as he would have wanted.-

I have a lot of them (Necchi, Consew, Singer, Adler, Nuova Obe Blake stitchers, Pfaff, Seiko, etc).-

Some of the are in the original boxes, like the adler 30-70.-

So, thats it. You should probably see me asking a lot of things about sewing machines and i will try my best aswering topic about shoemaking stuff.-

see you all soon

Nice to listen that.... some spanish?, Some Mate, Locro or Asado?

[BlackDragon]

I speak spanish but my family says I sound like an American  I can barely write in spanish.

I rarely drink mate but I'm always ready for an asado. Lets throw in some home made empanadas too.

Que bueno...soy gringo pero he aprendido unas cuantas cosas de mis esposa Colombiana.  Aunque ella no le gusta Fernet para nada.
