So, does that sheet pressing thingy still function? Do NOT get rid of it? I can hook you up with my life-long friend in NY and I bet there is $$$ in your future!

Babe, that's a a 200 hundred or so (the first picture I have of it is from 1882 but it is older than that) household appliance they needed a whole building to operate on laundry days. It retired in the 1950's when electronic versions of what it did made things easier and it was left to a shed or a barn for 60 years before I went and stole it (sorry guys, only the logs it was built from were sold, that was a non value thing left to the relatives to collect before the garbage man came. I just love saying I stole it).
This is what I do Wade, I take old stuff nobody wanted and give them a new life. This one has broken arms, worn women down, it took four women to operate it apparently. it weighs more than my ego can carry with the side muscles still acting up. I've had old sewing machines as sink holders, old floor boards go to frame my mirrors, an old outhouse is now my future patio...
I would be more than happy for your friend to send me pics of the space they want a table in, and if they could say what materials they want for it, measurements also needed for seating (yes, I do American too, even if your measuring system is stupid) and all this will cost your friend the usual goat if I can come up with what he needs.
I don't work for money, silly! I love seeing old stuff getting new lives!
