Members sinpac Posted November 21, 2011 Members Report 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.

dirtclod Posted November 21, 2011 Report 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 I'm old enough to know that i don't know everything.
Members sinpac Posted November 21, 2011 Author Members Report 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.

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.

Members Yarndiva Posted November 22, 2011 Members Report 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
Members CustomDoug Posted November 22, 2011 Members Report 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 Does Anyone Know Where the Love of God Goes When the Waves Turn Minutes to Hours?

Members sinpac Posted November 22, 2011 Author Members Report Posted November 22, 2011 Thanks for the great replies Guys. I painted the body with an industrial Black enamel.

CowboyBob Posted November 23, 2011 Report 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.
