I bought this small sewing machine in Wonthaggi when I visited. It sat on my bench for nearly a year as I decided if I could weld it, or not. I decided to have a go and it all worked fine.I left most of the the machine parts on it as it has a lovely aesthetic . Should I have changed it to a steam engine... well it probably wouldnt have been on display anywhere so I think it at least can be appreciated and I can be thought of as a barbarian!
