Now that's what I'd call recycling. . . . .
If more men loved and cherished their wives as much as I love bacon the world would be a much better place.
Re: Sewing Machine Chair
That's a neat design Lenn!
I'll bet my 'ol grandmother would have loved that chair (my dad was as old as my schoolmate's grandfathers when I was born, making my grandmother that much older).
Nice job!

Re: Sewing Machine Chair
Cool. My Grandmother had a treadle sewing machine, and she used it until she was in hr early eighties. Arthritis got to her.

Re: Sewing Machine Chair
Now I know what to do with a sewing machine that we've been storing for 20 years. Good job Lenn.

Re: Sewing Machine Chair
My grandma had one, I used to like to peddle it just to see it work. She used it to sew when I was growing up.
She also came to Oregon from California on a covered wagon from Susanville CA when she was a small girl with
her parents who came to homestead near the Siuslaw river in Western Oregon. Her parents brought "gifts" for
the Klamath Indians because they were known to rob the wagons coming through unless they had something to
give them.

Re: Sewing Machine Chair
Cool chair - almost looks like a throne!
The cobbler I use still uses a treadle sewing machine.
Gives him lots of control over what he's doing and
how fast he's doing it.

Re: Sewing Machine Chair
That's a Winner for sure... now, what will you do with the treadle function? That could be hooked up in some interesting ways . . .
