upholstery
« on: January 31, 2017, 12:06:43 PM »
I got an old singer 220 volt industrial machine, so I tried my hand at doing some tuck and roll. So far I like it. What I like about the old metal machines is they are not to easy to mess one up, and that's a good thing for me.

Very nice!  Wanna do an interior for a 33 Chevy Cabriolet?  ;D

Welcome to Ghosts one stop, Hot Rod shop. 8)
John, you'll never be short of work if this gets out.
Upholstery seems to be a big deal, and I know one who's always complaining they are overworked.
Nice work.

I guess you're practicing for that Dodge roadster??
Tighten it up til it strips, then back it off a quarter turn

Looks like everyone jumping in for some free upholstery work if you don't mind put my name on the list and give me a date to bring my car I need a vacation. Ghost do have a guest room while the upholstery  is being done. ;D

Just remember I'm first on the list.  As soon as the snow melts I'll drive the 33 out to Aurora to find my place in line :D
