Members EdJ Posted August 24, 2020 Author Members Report Posted August 24, 2020 Thank you all for your comments. It was a fun project as to learning how to do everything from the perspective of how did they do that 120 years ago without all the power tools we/I have today. Some of you had requested some more detailed pictures of the process. I am working on getting some of the pictures off my prior phone that had some problems. Should have it resolved soon. Also, I have no Idea what brand it is, but have seen others while researching things that appear to have the same axle layout and seat setup. I have to thank this website for providing me a lot of information on sewing machines, skivers, thread, tips and techniques. I have not sewn anything since 1975 skipping school and playing with my moms machine in the basement. Ended up with a new Juki, off brand bell skiver and a button press in the shop. Can never have enough tools. Ed Quote

Members Sheilajeanne Posted September 2, 2020 Members Report Posted September 2, 2020 As I said in my first post, you'd never think something that damaged could be restored AT ALL! Quote
