I love this profession! A new machine arriving is better than christmas! Can't wait to use this machine as the Deluxe Classic i bought from Mike a while ago is STILL my go to b&g machine and this one is supposed to be his secialist shader! I've achieved my smoothest results with Mike's machines and i've coloured with it with great success AND i lined the Escher piece i posted up with it! Not bad for $290 shipped!

Really nice Slick! They're so smooth running too. The flywheels are really well machined as is the rest of the machine.

So i've been using this machine all week and it's so smooth it could sell ice to eskimos! I set it on 4.5 v and back the needle off so when the stroke is down the needle comes out the tip maybe 1.5-2mm. This machine has made the weeks shading a true pleasure and allows me to achieve smoothness i could only dream of when i used to use coils! I love the no frills look and approach of these machines! So many machines coming out with complicated moving parts and give systems. This is pure rotary action and i love it!
