I think It's a supply/demand thing. I can see Brown selling out first (for leather) And yes, maybe the virus has diverted some production.

All the other colours around £10/£15 per decent sized cone. Brown? Either non existent or priced around £30. Any sources anyone?

Sort of OT but reminded me of a small firm that moved next door to me years ago. They'd come up with the idea of shredding tyres. cleaning and colouring them and with some kind of resin they would float the stuff all around your swimming pool to give a warm, non slip and of course waterproof surface. I remember thinking I wish I'd thought of that.

Yes, I think you're right Tor I did have it turned and it sewed OK. Just needed confirmation before I start shaving bits off. Thank you.

Just received a new regular foot for my Adler 69 and I'm having a problem with alignment. Was using a zipper foot before so didn't notice it. The inner foot looks like it wants to go outboard slightly. Is this doable?

Well excuse me! Thought I was passing useful information.

Bit late but Cechaflo has it covered.

Have you ever tried not doing the knot thing. I gave up doing that and find it much better just to thread it and leave it. It doesn't pull through in my experience and it means on long runs I can pull a lot more of the loose end through thus shortening the amount to pull through and also means that as I get near the end I can alter the length thus changing the part thatsitting in the eye which eliminates wear just at one point on the thread. I appreciate that this might mean more thread in the hole but I think the pros outweigh the cons.

Hey Matt. Did you solve your problem? Leaving aside cotton have you considered heating the knofe for nylon? I use a hot wire and a variable power supply for dense foam. A tiny gap in the knife and a dc supply might do it. Even a car battery will work for a wire. Don't know about rule steel though. Same principle they use for cutting nylon rope. Paul

I think I have it sorted. Syncing the forward and reverse isn't as simple as that video makes out. When I screw the clamp back on it doesn't grab like it does in the video. It must be something to do with the collar but he shows putting the collar on afterward. There must be an order to it because I did it once but it wasn't right so had to do it again and now I can't remember how I did it before. Grrred a few times after dropping the collar through to the bottom. Oh for a proper set of engineers tools.

I have checked as far as on minimum there is a very slight movement on the feed dog. On maximum it looks close to the 0.5mm at each end as per the book. Ill post a video later.

What's the maximum stitch length and how different is the 72E compared with the 373. I have looked, honest. The biggest stitch I can get is 9 to the inch. I don't think this is normal so is there an easy fix? please say yes. I watched the vid that Folker put up re equalising forward and reverse but can't find anything on stitch length.

Even quite small clicker dies need a surprising amount of pressure. Even walking this die around my 1 ton press (as opposed to pressing in one go) required an extension on the bar.

Of course Fred but what I meant was that if it's a shop that's near me and sell goodies I should have known about it. There are very few such shops around here and they're a magnet to me..

Great stuff. That's what I should have done.. Just missed some land with a stream once. Would've been in my element. Many years ago me and the wife and kids house sat for a cousin who was off to the Canaries for a holiday. He had a small stream running past the back of his garden. By the time he came home "his" bit wasn't so little any more/ I'd dug it a bit deeper and dammed both ends. Then I went upstream catching lots of wild trout and putting them in his bit. He was a baker and used to feed em any unsold bread or whatever and they got quite big. Well you gotta have a project haven't you. I'm in Gillingham.

How strange, never heard of them.

Fortunate indeed. I'm in a two bed house in town I know farmers used to get paid to leave a wild perimeter around their fields for the wildlife. Do they still do that?

Don't have Home Bargains Fred. Guessing they're similar to Aldi which we do have. Keeping my eye out. Thanks mate.

I have five dogs and at least one of em has realised that if they can't be arsed to go up the garden for a crap when the back door is open, they can just do it indoors by the back door and they'll get away with it cos I don't know which one dunnit and I won't smack an innocent dog so they laugh at me. Or at least the one that's doing it is. So what's the best budget motion (see what I did there :)) detecting go pro thingy out there guys?

I'll be sure to save up for those two Obols. Is this why the scythe in the first place?

Hello! "Ferryman", "Scythe". Do you go around dressed in a big dark cloak with a large hood do you? And will I have to pay you at sometime in my life, - or death?

Excellent! Just enough detail.

Nice work there but for use I'd like to have seen the scroll under rather than over.

They are. There were more but a lot have been gobbled up. There are lots of babies still in the pond and I even saw some eggs in there yesterday. Still not sure which ones will be goldfish until they change colour. I'm positive the bigger ones are bronze fish and will stay that way which is ok, I like the shape of those. There are still some odd ones in the tank at least one of the medium sized ons have an extra hard ray in the tail. There were some with two tails but joined at the top, they didn't swim very well and either got eaten or were bitten by mistake in a feeding frenzy and croaked.

Here you go. I apologise for the sound best turn it off.
