Welcome to Merry Cranks

Hello! Welcome to our blog.  Leon and I enjoy vintage sewing machines (particularly hand crank ones) and bicycles. That's where the Merry Cranking comes in.

When we are not demonstrating sewing machines and bicycles at living history events, you may find us lurking on vintage sewing machine pages or hanging out at my place. I sew. He restores machines.

Thanks for dropping by. We'll be sharing our adventures with cranked devices of one kind or another as this blog unfolds.
