For my birthday I was promised a whole day of sewing machine related activity. That was three months ago. I decided to cash in a few hours at a time. Tonight Steven agreed to teach me how to make bases for the sewing machines. I didn't even have time to take photos of the process. Though I tried.
He plans to rip me some stock. I am sure that I can manage the chop saw
And the drill to drill the pilot holes for the screws. I just have to practice.
That sheet rock screw and fender washer are for another project; putting up foam insulation in the Dutch Barn so that the sewing loft is not ice cold next winter.
Steven did suggest that I use sheet rock screws to screw the bases together. I said " I'd rather not, if you don't mind."
We did glue the pieces together and held everything in palce with clamps while I drilled the holes and put the screws in. I have about fifty of these bases to make. I think.. Yup that could be accurate. I have ten machines in the house alone that need them. Well I will be busy.....
But how nice it looks even with that chipped piece of wood.
Compared to..
I am very happy. And I have about 10 more hours of my birthday present left. I figure a 12 hour day is about what I am worth... Hmmmm wonder if I can get him to help me put up the shelves in the shop tomorrow?
Happy Birthday!!!!
