Hey good JDP buddy suggest you price and try one of those computer driven thingys, bro you're gonna be blown away and one happy chappy! They're not to dear either. Hey big fella, been reading your recent posts, and, love your style and respect your class (mate you are tops), good luck and best regards.

Think i'm gonna check the fridge for a beer, here's to you, and, cheers bud.

staggeringly good health ..

re the green boat interior it's time in your apprenticeship to learn some of the rat chaser / tufting needle .. can see middle cushion needs a prod or bit of some dacron bits to flop it out a bit ..

me, me, me, me -  hey am i being paranoid here?  what's that you say?

hey JD it goes without saying you'll need to modify the foot pedal on computer machine
single lock stitch computer machines cheap on Ebay, walking foot ones a bit more ..

its a multi throw reed switch device
switch back, lift foot
push down start sewing, until push back
switch back (push) back again, does back tack, trim thread, hold thread for next tack
foot back again lifts foot to remove job
stays here till next foot / switch back to lift foot to offer up to next job

suggest chat with keystone gregg or miami mike ..

so you'll need to mod the footswitch for hand operated work
being a pain in the ass as ya need two hands on the job often
looks like you'll need to make something for an elbow drive maybe
think laterally; some Moto GP riders have had their footsies chopped down a bit
one of them was a world champ and had the rear brake pedal fitted to handlebar switch somehow

me very sorry to hijack the thread ladies and gents ..
and going back to the pink spots and brewskies now ..
