    Nice looks like a lot of work for a good cause.

    They do make holders that essentially turn a Dremel into a small drill press. The link below shows some pictures: https://www.bing.com/images/search?q=dremel+drill+press+table&qpvt=dremel+drill+press+table&FORM=IGRE Here's an amazon link for one of the versions: https://www.amazon.com/Dremel-220-01-Rotary-Workstation-Station/dp/B00068P48O

    Very Beautiful. Love the design of the peacock and the detail around it.

    That would be wonderful.

    I would also like to know what price and what size. #992 and maybe #425 and maybe #497 would have some interest in the printed color chart as well.

    Very nice. Love how you tooled the strap for the buckle on the holster as well.

    Thank you shoepatcher. I'm heading Uwe's advice in one of his answer's to not take apart things if you don't have to, and to not turn screws if you don't know what they do. I find the pfaff 145\545 parts manual hard to trace what goes where at times. These beauties have a lot of parts and screw.

    I forgot to ask, if you did replace the spring or springs did you have to take the clutch off the axil's or were you able to change out the springs with the clutch while it was still attached to the machine.

    I'm using the numbers and names from Brtz's pdf Has anyone replaced the springs in the hook/Pawl #3 and or the button that the hook/pawl catches on when the hook jams and engages the safety clutch? I have a 145 H3 and when I look at pin under the pawl that depress for the pawl to catch on the button, I don't see any portion of the spring like I do in Uwe's great video's above. Also was wondering if the hook/pawl #3 when it is riding on the button (that engages when the hook trips the safety ) is supposed to still touch part of the small barrel #4 at times since it is an eccentric? Mine does when the pawl is riding on the button, but if I hold the left axil #5 the entire safety clutch (parts 3, 3a, 2 & 1) spins separately.

    It could be a Singer 201 non potted motor. A nickname for the 201 is the Rolls Royce. It is not designed for leather, might sew some garment weight leather and some upholstery leathers.

    Thanks Uwe. Not sure I'm ready to try tapping a machine yet.

    Hi Uwe Do you know if this (KB09 Adapter Bracket for Pfaff 335, 1245) will work with a Pfaff 145? I watched the video where you were installing it on a newer 335. I didn't see the same type of screw holes for the needle guard like were on the machine you were using in the video. Thx
  17. Scoutmom103
    Thank you Uwe for your great videos. I learn so much by watching them.
  18. Scoutmom103
    Thank you so much. Once I get her cleaned up (she's behind the Pfaff 145) I'll decide what size gauge set and be in touch. Maybe some day, I'll be in Toledo and will get a chance to see the showroom.

    Thanks Bob. Good to know Is this page 434 of the 1999 catalog that is on the Superior website? For some reason my surface doesn't open the pdf for that page very clearly. It's hard to read the sizes and numbers on the throat plates.

    Uwe thanks. I'm not ready to purch sets yet. Wanted to find out what fits it and is available. Thanks Bob. I haven't started refurbishing/cleaning her up yet, so I haven't taken off the current needles and chuck yet. Does anyone know if the gauge sets for other singer twin needle models or their clones fit the 138W101?
  21. Scoutmom103
    Looking for gauge sets for a Singer 138W101 machine. When I search for them with 138W101 I'm not finding them. Does this model use gauge sets from other twin needle models either singer or singer clones? When I look at the 138W101 manual from the library of Superior Sewing Machine & Supply, it doesn't show the gauge set 7/8" that is currently on the machine. The machine, previously was used to put nylon webbing onto apparel. The 7/8" was sewing both edges of the webbing onto an article of clothing. This machine is silver.

    There are 2 tri-flow grease's listed on their website. Which one are you guys using? How long does it's stay on the gears, before you need to recoat? I stopped in an auto supply store and they recommended a heavy-duty grease, but the person helping said it may dry out after 5 or 6 months (that sounded a little strange. It had lithium and was a modern lubricant). Thank you for your help.

    I am looking for recommendations for grease for the gears under the 3 gearboxes on my Pfaff 145 that I am restoring. What I have found under the bottom two was probably the original, very petrified. I just took off the top gearbox, as I move through the machine. It wasn't as petrified, but it defiantly must be cleaned out and replaced. And yes I have a gallon of Lilly White Sewing Machine Oil for the oil ports. I saw where Uwe recommended tri-flow for the gears, but they make 2 kinds, and I watched the Consew 206 RB video. I would like to know why you use it, which version if the manufacturer makes several different greases, and where you have found it. I live in Central Indiana for reference. Thank you. I really appreciate all the time and effort so many of you put into answering questions and sharing your experiences and knowledge.
  24. Scoutmom103
    thank you I try to search before I ask questions. I will now be searching via google or bing more specifically before posting questions that have already been answered. I really appreciate all the time and effort people put in to answer questions.
  25. Scoutmom103
    thank you brmax. I was trying to search within leatherworker site itself specifically for the 153W101 and then wasn't directing google or bing specifically to leatherwork.net.
