One more short day for the show, I had several hundred people through my little back room today, great crowd with a lot of participation by the youngsters.

It looked to be a wonderful display, full of interesting stuff to look at.

Thanks for Sharing.

Hi Bruce,

Excellent display, I enjoyed your video very much. Many years ago I restored a Wilcox and Gibbs sewing machine for a museum, if memory serves it was a lock stich machine used by milliners.

Take care Tony.

Hi Tony , I had to look up Milliners (women's hats) in my research they were made for general sewing, the one I have is the industrial version & Yes they are a "chain stich" machine, meaning they loop the stich upon itself underneath with a special revolving hook below the fabric platform....no thread bobbin is used on these machines.

Over the top and beyond the ordinary in every respect!

An absolutely wonderful display of visual delights that ought to ignite the imagination of children of all ages ..... including my own!!!

Delighted to see your "original" workshop featured prominently in this display. As I recall, it is what you used to sort of introduce yourself when you first came onto a steam forum, so many years ago!

SUPERB!!!!!!!!!!!!
