sinpac Report post Posted November 21, 2011 Friday I ordered my bobbin threader from Bob. He suggested I get the belt as well since it would fit in the same box. Before After Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dirtclod Report post Posted November 21, 2011 (edited) Nice job ! Is it a user or a looker now that you have fixed it up ? Edited November 21, 2011 by dirtclod Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
sinpac Report post Posted November 21, 2011 Nice job ! Is it a user or a looker now that you have fixed it up ? It's a user. I bought it a few weeks ago. It was pretty rough I tore it down stood back and said what the hell lets paint it up. I am new at the leather craft I figured this would be a good machine to learn on. Thanks for the kudo's Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

sinpac Report post Posted November 21, 2011 (edited) May I ask where did you get the decals. It looks SUPER. Ken I hand painted them on there with gold model master paint from hobby lobby. It's a metallic enamel. I also have a medical illuminated magnified swing arm lamp. Edited November 21, 2011 by sinpac Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yarndiva Report post Posted November 22, 2011 Lovely machine! I have one too and am now inspired to re-paint a bit of the decals too as yours came out so well. I also saw you have another treadle in the room. Good for you! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CustomDoug Report post Posted November 22, 2011 The fact that you hand painted those decals and did such a great job of it is the really impressive thing to me. Anyone can spray black paint (though I know you did more - like taking it apart, etc) but the hand painting details is not something the average joe's gonna be able to pull off. Heck of a job and an awesome looking machine! Thanks for posting the pics. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

CowboyBob Report post Posted November 23, 2011 I hope you have some paint left for the new bobbinwinder......it's gray & you might have to move your handwheel alittle to the right for it to work. Bob Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
