What people say about Bill's work:

Chantal D, Northville NY (1951, 1954, 1955 Featherweights) - "Bill did a fantastic job with my three featherweight machines! His attention to detail and love of working with these machines shows. They sew flawlessly."

Bridget H, Pewamo MI (1947 Featherweight) - "My machine is like new and I have confidence in the total restoration, no worries that the motor or wires are too old to do the job, and my machine is running like a dream.  Can't say enough positive things -- I use my Featherweight a lot!!

Dale W, Harrison MI (1961 Featherweight purchased for his wife) - "I can say this is a very nice featherweight, better than I have seen in a long time. You did a very nice job cleaning it up. My wife will be happy too. She is big into her featherweights."

Bob Fowler, Bob's Vintage Sewing Machine Service, NJ (replying to photos sent of a restored 1920 Singer model 66 treadle) - "That, sir, is beautiful!"

Gretchen F, Lake Worth Beach, FL (1903 Pemberton treadle) - "I was very fortunate to have Featherweight Guy take a look at the sewing machine I inherited from my great grandmother. He knew EVERYTHING about each mechanism, corrected everything needing attention and my sewing machine now looks great and works beautifully! I would give him a 10/10 rating and recommend him very highly!"

Beth Granberg, Salt Lake City, UT (Granberg family clock: 1914 Ingraham Suwannee) - "Our cherished family clock, from my husband’s childhood home, had many problems; damage from a fall, general wear and tear, and the mechanics of the clock did not work. Bill took the clock completely apart. He cleaned, repaired, refinished, and lovingly and skillfully restored it. Thanks to Bill, the clock works perfectly now, sweetly sounding the time. The clock is beautiful on the wall of its new home where two more generations of the Granberg family are enjoying their antique family treasure.

Bill is a master craftsman and passionate about his restoration projects. You can count on Bill to work carefully to get everything exactly right. In his hands, your old and worn mechanical item will be as good as new, or even better."

Tom H, Lexington MA (c. 1900 Ansonia Kirkwood clock) - "Not only did Bill present me with a meticulously restored and finished clock, but he hand-crafted a matching shelf.  Ticking away in my kitchen as I write."

Ellen H, Altamont NY (1846 Brewster & Ingrahams Round Gothic clock) - "It is wonderful to have my old clock looking and working so beautifully, ticking and chiming the hours away, thanks to Bill's loving restoration."

Eugenia W, Altamont NY (1870's German wall clock) - "I have only the highest praise for every aspect of this business.  Bill's knowledge of and enjoyment in his work are obvious."
