/diy/ - Do It Yourself

...here's the answer to the [not much of a] mystery.

My wife is a big quilter, I collect antique machines and keep her and her friends fed (yes, we actually use these machines. They're more reliable than modern machines and cheap).

We've been teaching classes and taking handcrank machines. Which are actually great for learning, but since non-electric, no lights, and the lighting in the room usually sucks. So I'm making lights. Lights worthy of these beautiful, indestructible 120 year old cast iron behemoths.

...I sense disappointment, but that's OK. We can have a motorcycle thread. I ride too (98 Shadow VT1100T)
