  1. hello, this is maybe a very late answer, but I thought that as the outdoor-magazine site is not responding any more I could post the following pictures to help
  2. Hello, You mention to contact athe admin to know how to connect to the adult content. Thanks to revert to me on the subject All the best Patrick Weill Name: Patrick Weill UserName: patricweill IP Address: 90.54.217.205 Email Address: pweill@noos.fr
  3. welcome to the 45k25 owner's club, if you find a good source of needles let me know and good luck. Did you get a " complete manual "with it , not the flimsy few pages? Take care
  4. Karl I am very happy to have been a very small part of your this worK. All my best wishes and congratulations to your aunt . She has won a momentous battle that speaks highly of her moral strength. The bag is superb , did you thin the leather around the insert windows ? take care Patrick
  5. Thank you Oldtimer I have this manual already, it is the condensed version ( a few pages ) I need the more complete one or the operator one thank you again for taking the time to help All the best Patrick
  6. hello everybody, I finally have my 45K 25 up and running , Humm... running is a tall word , it keeps breaking needles. I am quite sure that it is due to a lack of precision setting of the pressure foot either in height and/or tension? I really need to find the complete manual to know what are those settings . I am willing to pay a reasonable fee to have it emailed or a copy posted to me Thanks again I am getting quite desperate Patrick

  8. Karl, I just tried to answer you but your mail box is full and cant get any new message What about some house cleaning LOL
  9. Hello Guys and Girls, I have been asked by a dear friend and leather worker extraordinary ( he worked 10 years fro Hermes) to help him clear his stock of snake skins , there are about 20 Karung skins in assorted colours ( about 150 cm long on 25 cm wide immaculate quality) and 100 skins of whip snakes also in assorted colours ( from 50 cm t 100 cm long by 20 cm wide) What would be the best way to sell ? by pieces , by lots , on Ebay or any other auction system. Pictures are available if needed Thanks for your help All the best
  10. If you care to look further afield , you can check Ebay france for round knives made by Blanchard it is superb quality and it is not selling for lots good luck
  11. I would not recommend using stainless steel as you will have more problem keeping your blade sharp and honing to the level you want for a head knife; I think you should use carbon steel for cutting tools with maybe .65 to .85C be carefull of the heat tratment which is very very important 20 ° seems to be too thick you will want a full grind at least at the beginning. I think more knowledgeable guys will answer you with more precision good luck and post pictures Patrick
  12. Jim, Thank you very much , I will immediately ask the seller if the needle stops where one wants,I am not sure that I understand what you mean by pedalling backwards ? the machine was made 1914 just before the beginning of WW1 , in Scotland. you are being very helpful and are lifting my spirit , I hope I will be able to dismount the stand , anyhow I will bring my tools and a trolley and have a go at it . I will post pictures as soon as I get it , and hopefully have it working thanks to all Patrick
  13. Hello Badger, I think I did not express myself properly, it is a treadle machine and it has a cast iron stand holding the treadle , The machine itself can be separated from the stand+treadle but then I still have that big cast iron table loke very heavy thing to carry down LOL so I want to try to take it apart further . Do you like the machine ? anything special it cant do , or I should not do with it ? thanks Patrick
  14. Hello everyone, I have the possibility to acquire a vintage 45K25 , but there is a small hitch. It is the pedal model without motor , but with the complete stand. I have nobody to help me get it ,and it is in the third floor of a house , do you know if the stand can be dismounted into different pieces ? I know I can carry the machine itself , but the stand is a bitch .... And as we are on the subject, anything special i should know about that machine, ? Is it easy to motorize , etc.... Thanks to all Patrick
