How old is the Singer? There are tons of old pedal Singers and old Singer tables around where I am; they look amazing but they're all insanely heavy. A few years back there was a fashion for taking the old Singer table drawers and making them into chests of drawers. I actually have a couple sets of my own that I need to finish, but I just hate sanding so much. I like pretty much everything about restoring furniture except sanding. Hate hate hate sanding.
That looks cool! I was all about books on tape as a kid, the weird little cassette noises were relaxing. Looking at that makes me want to drive out to a lake and slap in a tape while watching the water. Please give us a review after you've used it for a while.
Cats just love little skittery things they can knock around. Those little pull-back friction cars have also been teaching the children here a useful Life Skill: getting things out from under the furniture with a broom or a yardstick. Sometimes because the children sent them there, sometimes because the cat is standing by the bookcase and complaining.

I actually 3d-printed some measuring sticks for all of us with the most commonly-used distances marked out (9", 6", 3", 1").
Lol I wanted a treadle machine so bad the last time my power went out. I've been looking at refurbished vintage (but electric) and industrial machines myself because I want to sew heavier materials like leather and canvas. My current machine (while a solid, all metal model that does its job well) isn't powerful enough to do much more than altering jeans, and even then topstitching can become a struggle.
