Fretworking & the Hobbies & Handicrafts Companies New video

[scrimper]

Hi Annie, welcome to UKworkshop.
I have done quite a few videos related to fretworking, you will find them on my Youtube channel.

Here is a screenshot from my fretworking website than mentions the Hobbies IDL machine.

(I am not sure but I think you have to post several message before you can upload any images)

Hi Scrimper,

Thank you for the screenshot - there’s some really useful information there. I did find more of your videos and have watched some of them this evening. They are great!

I have managed to attach some photos now. The machine I have doesn’t appear to have the drilling attachment, so I’m wondering whether a previous owner removed it? If so, that’s a shame.

It does look like it's been modified, from your picture it looks like it has a wooden table whereas the original would have been metal.

Here is a bit more about the IDL machine from 1931.

Thank you Scrimper. Yes, it does have a wooden table, as well as it lacking the drilling attachment. Such a shame that it is not all as it would have been originally.

I am enjoying finding out the history of the machine though. Thank you for enlightening me!
