I am a new guy here after starting my collection a few years ago when I retired (2018). I currently have 21 various vintage machines, mostly treadles and I sew on them routinely. Most of my machines were gifted to me, some are ¡°rescues¡± and some just purchased because their sub-$50 price tag was impossible to resist. Everything I own came to me in a sad state, very few required just cleaning and oiling.?

I am 77 years old and a former classic car/ hot rod guy that earlier in life competed in motorsports of different types. I always built my own stuff, fabricated what ever I needed. I still have my original hot rod, a 1935 Ford that is a daily driver, my wife has a 1923 Ford hot rod truck with a flathead V-8 that she built. My shop setup now leans toward my sewing machine passion¡.no more heavy car parts.?

I plan to learn as much as possible with my entry into this expert filled group.

Thank you,
