Hello from the Waveney Valley

A BS Edward? Now I feel inadequate!!!!

Actually, IanR, the way I heard it, you get the apprentice to treadle while you do the work. Isn't that what grandchildren are for? Everyone says that children don't get enough excercise nowadays. We can soon change that, and solve the energy crisis at the same time!

I didn't set out to find a B.S., I was lucky, my granddad bought it for me as a 16th birthday present (25 years ago now!)

The 1907 flatbed was his, he taught me on that and got me first a super-adept, then replaced with a Simat 101 which I wish I had kept, and then the B.S. as for some things the Simat just wasn't big enough!

No idea where he got it from. I wish I knew a bit more of its history to be honest.
