Hiya MeggersI did the elliptical and finally finished the spinner. I think that deserves a nap!
I have another wooden chest that my grandfather made that I thought about starting on today. But it is hot and muggy out thereI think I'll save that for another day!
I know. I have a 1865 Singer sewing machine that's been in my family since 1865 sitting in my barn. Not sure what to do with it yet. The mechanics work fine but...the cabinet is a bit rough. My sisters didn't want it and my Mom didn't want us to sell it(not that she'd know if we did)...so now I have it. I don't mind keeping stuff that belonged to my Dad or his side but...I don't really care about Mom's family stuff.

We sure thought so
I'll admit she looked good for what she had been through tho'.
Of course she's limited in what she can do.
I bet it would be beautiful to restore! Show us a pic when you get it done
Wow, I'm surprised no one want's it ... it must be worth a small fortune by now!

Get it done? Get what done? Oh...I don't think I'll be restoring it. I'm not sure what the hell I'd do with it after it was restored. I've got enough crap in my house. 
I have the sewing machine that was my grandmother's. It is not nearly as old as yours, Meggers. But I refinished it because it is sentimental. She died when I was 12. Here are a couple of before and after pics.

Not really. Seems everyone kept the damn things. Even the ones that are in excellent condition only bring around $800.00 and that's only on certain models. The ones like this bring $45.00 - $80.00.
Well, as Dale mentioned, it is probably pretty valuable. If it is not sentimental to you, might as well get some $$ out of it
Edit: Never mind
Just saw your post
Beautiful work Tink
I have my great-grandmother's sewing basket. I keep momento's in it

That looks great! Hell...at least yours is electric. Mine has a big ole pedal and fly wheel. Here...this is what it looks like.
Huh? What a shame

Thanks. I intended to get the machine itself repaired and learn how to sew. It is still sitting in the garage from when I took it out of the cabinet

Aw well, life happens, we get busy
Wow, Meggers. It is hard to believe that isn't worth a lot more than $45-$80! I LOVE IT! The 'big ole pedal and fly wheel' make it all the more beautiful IMO. You should restore it and put it in your house. It is a great piece!
I bet American Pickers would LOVE to stop by Megger's house 
It sounds like he has some great old antiques!!
It sounds like he has some great old antiques!! Well it is. I think it's pretty cool. I guess they're not worth much cause there are so many of them around. Oh Honey...I have the "in/out" rule at my house. If something comes in...something has to go out. I bet American Pickers would LOVE to stop by Megger's house
They'd probably want to buy me!
OooOoo Don't you know it!!I bet American Pickers would LOVE to stop by Megger's house
Goofy! Ugh ... dog need's to walk ... it's hot out there!!!
Later's
