Neat project, one I can, somewhat, relate to, having built a much less refined support table and side table for my long arm upholstery machine (now gone, sold it). I'm anxious to see the finished project.


132" wow, I should be glad my wife only has a working (actually it just humms when she uses it) 1911 Singer treadle machine. Parts are getting hard to find though, if something important breaks it may just become a piece of furniture. -- Froz... The system will be down for 10 days for preventive maintenance.

This guy, Jimster100, in Oakland, Ca. seems to have a pretty good supply of old parts. About 2 yrs ago, I restored a Singer model 15, needed a few parts. Found them he http://www.ebay.com/itm/POWER-SUPPLY...1#ht_63wt_1125

One aspect, of several, I needed: The treadle machines were able to be upgraded with an adapter, to use AC or DC power supply (the adpapter could be wired for either), depending on what external power a person (especially someone in a rural area) may have had to hook up to, and the related mechanical parts. Jimster100 had (still has?) the parts. Might want to keep him in mind.
