hello and thanks

[Steve855]

Hi everyone, glad to be here!  I've done a small amount of hand stitching leather- some watch straps, case for a hand axe, nothing too impressive.  I joined here because I was looking for a walking foot machine and this forum seems to have the most knowledgeable people I could find on industrial sewing machines.  I've learned a lot here already, so thanks to all of you.

Recently picked up a Singer 211w155 that I'm tuning up and getting it setup the way I'd like.  I have some questions that I'll post in the appropriate section.  I mainly want to work on auto upholstery, motorcycle seats and similar projects, but who knows what I'll  get into.  I like to learn new skills and fix up machines of all kinds.  I'm pretty decent at manual machining, welding, fabrication, painting, wrenching on cars and motorcycles, restoring late 60's/early 70s Seiko mechanical watches.  Been working in auto racing industry for 25+ years.
