So pumped!

[ScoobyNewbie]

Hi everybody! (Complete with Grover arms)

I am sooooo pumped! 

I just finished paying for, and am picking up tomorrow, a Cobra 4 -16” and a Thompson Walking Foot machine! I also am the proud owner of a paper weight with a treadle, that says it’s a Singer 29-something. I get to try and fix that up on my own. Fun!

My husband has kindly cleared the garage out for a leather/craft shop and plans are underway to change a church table into a leather table! Can clear shoe boxes with foam for my stamps be far away? 

I’m going to ask a gentleman in the area to make sure the two new machines are in spec. I have been told he’s really good with industrial machines, soooo, yeah, pumped! 

I’ve been talking to several people about learning from real professionals about shoe/boot making/repair and saddlemaking/repair. So, do any of you have names of people in the Nebraska, Iowa, Kansas or South Dakota areas that give lessons about shoes/boots/saddles/harness?

oh, and now I get the museum of sewing machines tendency! The right tool for the right job! Sorry about before!

Awesome Scoob! Glad to see you're up and running and moving along with things! That 29 patcher is a good bit of a machine as well don't discount the treadle operated stuff!
