OK, so I'm down at the farm today and Butthole's wife has an industrial
strength Singer sweing machine parked outside in, <gasp> the garden.
Let us not go into the horror that this represents. I spied underneath,
the motor, which I now am in possession of. It is a 1/3 hp with a
substantial flywheel and clutch. It is built like a brick crapper and
the motor runs like a dream. Flywheel keeps things lively for about
three to four minutes after shutting off power. The joy of well built
machinery. I'll take it over contemporary crap any day.
So, what shall I contrive with this? A 2# power hammer? Ideas?
Happy New Year everyone. Hope you're all safe, happy, healthy, and not
too hung over.
