We've selected the wood for the top and bottom of the machine-base. Now we need the sides. Unfortunately, I don't have the hinges and screws...
I have no idea WHY that's happening. Here's the machine: [IMG] As I said in my original post - this machine was originally an electric...
Well I dunno how many people remember this thread, but I'm embarking on rebuilding the sewing machine case for this machine, now. I have most of...
If that is silver, I'd start polishing it, because it looks bloody ugly! I'd say it was probably used for studs, cufflinks etc. I've seen a lot...

I'll admit it - this gave me a real giggle! When I was at my local antiques shop, one of the chaps there suggested using (VERY SMALL) amounts of...
Most definitely a camel seat/bench/stool/thinggummeroonie. Had one at home for many, many, many years.
I'd say that this is an ammo-belt, and that the pouches stored magazines or clips of ammunition.
I bought a big box of old keys from the flea-market once for $100 and it's been really useful. Whenever I need a key, I dig one out and test it,...
I'm always collecting old keys. I use them to re-key old locks for boxes and stuff that I buy.
