Singer 29K - What Do You Use Yours For?
howie696 replied to RavenAus's topic in Leather Sewing Machines
That's the problem its a pickup item and Australia is bigger than Europe :-( with a very sparse population per sq mile so the chance of finding one nearby are very remote -

Sense Of Humour Failure Across The Pond......
howie696 replied to ClaireAshton's topic in Leatherwork Conversation
Allo Allo was actually a spin off of a serious drama called "The Secret Army", during the filming of TSA there were so may funny bloopers that it spawned the comedy series "Allo Allo" If you can get a copy of the Secret Army series it is excellent I'm addicted to it a firm favorite -

Need Some Help Finding These Fixings
howie696 replied to howie696's topic in Hardware and Accessories
Great, thanks now at least I can search sensibly :-) cheers -
I need some help finding these, they are like a grub screw without a thread, they are pressed through the bag clasp and lodge into place. The biggest problem is I don’t know what they are called to start searching Any ideas would be a great help thanks

Thanks I hadn't seen them before, well worth a look :-) -
Tandy in Australia don't get any of my business they just don't care about their customers. I ordered 4 clasps paid a lot in postage but they were a new design, sure enough they sent the old design, they admitted the ones on the web site were not the ones they had in the warehouse. So it was my problem not theirs I could get a refund but not the postage and I would still have to pay to return them now Birdsall gets all my orders
