Boguita Report post Posted June 10 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 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

BlackDragon Report post Posted June 11 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. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
