I don't know if you are familiar with share sheds, but we have a pretty good one here. I'll copy the post I did about ours last year over here when I get a chance.
Anyhow the share shed is at the dump and it's for stuff that is still good that you think someone might be able to use.
We got this there. See if you can guess what it is? I'm sure a lot of you can.
(Did you say a foot pedal?)
If you did, you were right, but what was it attached to?
(I'm sure a bunch of you already know, but I need to make the post seem like it's worth an upvote.)
Yeah, we got pretty lucky
(We've never had a sewing machine before.)
It seems to be in great condition and it works, so we aren't sure why it was there, but there were two others there and they had auction stickers on them, so maybe someone got a box lot or something. We just took the one because how many do you need?
(Looks like a sewing machine to me.)
It's very heavy and a solidly built contraption, and from what I could glean from a quick Google search it's quite strong and can sew light leathers and canvas. Here's underneath.
(It needs a cleaning, but other than that...)
Everything is greased and looks well taken care of, so I figure we got a good score, but maybe some of you know more about these things than we do. Here's the plate, I found out that it was made between 1968 and 1971, so it's a bit older than I am, but not as worn out.
(I can't find a free manual for it yet, so if any of you come across one, I'd gratefully transfer a bit of SBD for a .pdf.)
So what do you think? Have you ever used this model or a similar one? Gerri is planning to learn how to make curtains first, so we can fill this hole.
(Baby steps. After the curtains will come some underwear or pants. Maybe.)
So that's it. We just wanted to share our great share shed find. Last summer we found this up there with the warranty, manual and all fittings still inside. The guy renovating our kitchen said it was probably someone buying a house and wanting stainless steel or something. Either way, we got a $700 dishwasher right when we were planning a new, white kitchen.
(Sharing is fun!)
