It's tough when you are doing anything let alone recording it for someone else to hopefully enjoy. The work alone takes time then you have to consider the video which is just another hurdle. That doesn't even take into account the editing. Posting a video adds at least 25% more time to a project if not more. So, Thank you for your content, effort, and time. I am always trying to learn more and I have learned from your videos.

Finally someone that’s really knows how to restore the singer table. Thanks a million! Can go work on mine now :)

Great videos. Thanks to your videos, I was able to restore my grandmothers machine! Thanks again!

Wow, really great video. My brother in law has an original Singer 66 Redeye in the original cabinet, 1911 treadle. This was super helpful to watch, and fascinating to learn this stuff. Very good audio and video. Thank you!

Thank you for your time and patience 🙏

All 3 parts had me mesmerized watching your quality restoration! Singer himself and the workmen from 100 years ago who put these beauties together would be proud of your work. Thanks for posting this excellent video.

Wow! I'm in awe. This restoration series was so inspiring and informative to watch. I have a Singer 66K treadle on its way home to me atm and though that table hopefully won't need to be stripped down, this gave me some good ideas on how to care for it. Thank you!

Oh! Soooo gorgeous!

Great job, looks beautiful!

I bet the owner squealed with delight when they got that back - such a lovely rescue/restoration and all set to remain very beautiful for another century at least (longer if the future owners look after it, which they probably will because it will be seen as a lovely antique from now on and not just some junk in someone's attic, basement or shed). Bravo!

I'm awestruck. Very helpful indeed.

Thank you so much for documenting this process. I’m about to start fixing my Singer and I learned a lot from this series. Luckily my machine is in a much better shape. It’s mostly the veneer that has come loose at the edges and needs to be glued down. And I’ll have also the sewing machine to clean and oil.

So beautiful to see. Well done ❤

Thank you for documenting these restorations. I hope to get my grandmother restored soon.

Beautiful!

Gret Vid and I learned a lot about grain fillers Many thanks AD

Great job!

As always, I am amazed when you do color work. It is truly art but it seems like magic! Thank you

So glad I get to see how to mount the lift parts and cradle. I hopefully will be able to find one.

So satisfying working on and seeing the results from these old Treadles- they are truly amazing machines! Thanks!

Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge. Truly appreciate you. Excellent work, the machine looks brand new!

Just gorgeous!!!

I love what you did with the color. You're a talented man.

This was wonderfully fascinating to watch. You know your stuff, are precise, careful and professional so the end result is magnificent. I'm a collector of vintage and antique sewing machines - I love them; they are works of art. And the tables for them were beautfully made as well. It's easy to see the original craftsmanship in yours, even though someone botched previous repairs. You'd never know that now though!! I just scored a Singer 201-2 sewing machine (a dream buy for me) and will be out looking for a table. My machine is electric though and vintage (1947) rather than antique. Still, the tables made in '47 were well made also. I'm going to have fun finding one, then find someone like you to restore it if necessary. I can fix up and recondition the machines but not the tables! Thank you for the MARVELOUS videos!! I'll be checking others you've done as well.

Great video, I’m about to start a similar one for my mams 78th birthday present, she’s a tailor and is still sewing to this day. This will help a lot Thanks

Thank you so much! So many videos on restoring these machines only show well taken care of machines with only minor cracks and is simply worn, instead of damaged

I'm doing it! Removing paint from the legs is what I'm scared to tackle. I did use some of the stainable wood filler; however, it did not change color. Wondering if you mix stain with it prior to applying? Mine never changed and I've applied the stain over and over without success. On a 139 year old Model 12 table. 😭

Excellent.

I was just gifted my Grandmother's Singer cabinet today. It's missing the pedal and I believe the pieces that attach to it, but I believe I may be able to find her originals (she threw nothing away!) I'm hoping to reach out to you soon to possibly restore it. I think mine may be in better shape than the one you demonstrated here. I'm close by, so hope to talk soon. Love the video and I learned so much, but being that it was my Grandmother's, I think I want a professional to restore it...one of these days. Thank you for a great video series. Take care.

Bravo Monsieur magnifique travail, cela aurait été top de voir le mécanisme ( la machine à coudre au complet ) à la fin de la vidéo. 👏🏻

Thanks for this! I have a similar model from my family that unfortunately the entire lid and top veneer can't be saved due to heavy splintering and buckling and just overall wear (it's quite a well-used 130-ish year old piece, so it makes sense), but the veneer everywhere else still looks fantastic with minimal damage. Very dirty though haha

Larry has the best by far furniture repair/restoration channel on KZread. Come on KZread reward those that know what there doing and are willing to share with us novices looking for help. I watch every furniture restoration channel I can find and Lost Mountain has less than 9k subscribers. This is a discredit to Larry and channels like his that don’t get the credit they deserve. Thanks for hanging in there Larry despite the lack of support you get. You are truly hardcore. Thanks again for what you do.

Nice work, I know you put a lot of work into it (maybe more than the machine is worth?) but I appreciate you didn’t take any short cuts. We have one of these that originated not to far from you in Adairsville, Ga. (we live in Ok.) It belonged to my wife’s grandmother. You mentioned the hinge screw length about 10 times...you never made that mistake right?

No, but I came very close once. LOL.

thank you so much for these videos. I have an antique Singer table that has inlaid wood on the side and front of the drawers. at first I thought it was painted black but when I was using Restor-a-Finish I realized the black was coming off and it probably was originally the same finish as the drawers. Is there something I can use to get that off more easily? thank you

Just found your video and really enjoyed it. I know it’s a couple years later but how do you ship your machines back to the owners. I have one that I need to ship from WV to OR. Thank you in advance.

Lots of great info. Thanks for sharing your work. Are the drawers wrapped in veneer too? It looks like the grain follows around the corner radius. If so, is it just the same process to replace it? I've been thinking to get a treadle and some I see are in need of work.

Your work is impressive. Thank you for sharing your knowledge. where do you order plywood veneer?

Wow! What a beautifully restored piece of history. I have a treadle machine that I am trying to do repairs on and this has helped alot. The thing is that the circular hole where the hardware attaches for the machine are rotted. How in the world do I repair that? Any and all suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

I have a Singer model 66 I am restoring. Everything is going smooth so far, but did have one question. I have sanded the main table top and the veneer is in great condition. However the stain is still mainly there. All the other pieces are good. I didn't want to continue to sand too much, so I was wondering if I could use the liquid stripper on the veneer. I don't want to damage the veneer. Thanks

Were you sanding at all between lacquer and glaze? Thank you, learning so much!

I'm so glad I found your channel--I have at least 6 of these that need restoration, and I've put it off for a long time because I wasn't really sure how to do them properly and efficiently--now, thanks to you, I'm going to get started! I have about 18 old Singer and a couple of other brand machines as well that will get restored as I do a table to fit one. I've already stripped down and taken apart a Singer 128 treadle machine, just trying to decide what color to paint it (this one is a special one that will probably be electric blue with hand-painted gold and silver designs) Wish me luck!

What to do with loose veneer top on a fairly decent table with a new England paint job.-Only paint the part that shows. The brick red finish is checked. Veneer, linoleum , -that will solve future water ring damage. These are the thoughts that kept me out of the good schools. Little by little I will go. Any ideas on how to remove mouse pee?

Did you use the Paint Stripper on the veneer to get the color off too? I just want to make sure I can use it on the veneer and not just the regular wood. Can I sand the veneer without taking it off?

Does anyone know how I can find the wood pieces that go on the drawers ?

Great ! I m going to re-build from scratch..(i have just a little pice of wood still safe ) the cabinet ..could u post the measure ? Tks...bye from Italy

Great job!. What kind of veneer did you buy for this machine? I've read Singer used different types of wood and veneer depending on what part of the country their mill was at. I think a lot of machines use tiger oak. I have two machines I need to get on soon. Thanks for sharing.

Would you show me how to remove the hinges (the round ones that hold the machine)? I tried to remove mine and it broke. Thanks!

How much money went into the restoration? Did the sewing machine itself have any work done on it? I recently got ahold of my grandmother's 1910 singer and all parts need a lot of love. I'd like to get it running again. The machine needs a new paint, the legs are rusted, and the table tops veneer is chipping off...

i picked up a 1911 Singer treadle and the bottom left drawer is stuck shut, it'll pull out about 1/8 inch but dead stops then, any ideas for me?

I wished you lived within reach… I have my grandmothers Singer sewing machine with the flip down front drawer. It’s not in to bad of shape but could use some work on the cabinet. I’m so afraid of the matching the color that If you were near you would have another job.

You're truly an artist! Would you happen to know how I can remove drawers from my very old sewing desk cabinet? They don't pull all the way out & I can't find a latch that holds them in. Thank you.

Sometimes there is a small wooden block of wood which keeps them from coming out. If you have a front pull out drawer, you can usually gently push in on one of the drawer slides to get around it. Good luck!
