I can understand how doing restoration for others took the joy out of your hobby. I really enjoy watching your videos. Hopefully you can find a way that makes you happy again.
I’m still really grateful to have a machine that was finished by you. Can you post your eBay store? I hope you still make videos as we all still enjoy watching them! Blessings in 2026.
Have just been watching a lot of your videos, and as a leather worker, totally understand the passion of the activity vs. the work to sell & I also hate self promotion and all of that... A reason I think the first few months of every year I get back to sewing garments & my love of getting my vintage machines running (though not nearly to the extent you do & repaint, though I love that!) is I need the break from "work". I enjoyed the work on Vincent, and fabric & leather for its box. Do enjoy your step back from business side so that you can really enjoy your love again--on your own time/schedule!
