I just took delivery of my latest purchase

Another sewing machine. Purchased off ebay. I couldn't resist the 'bling'. Its a domestic, possibly German and uses a shuttle. I'll check it out fully later. I doubt I'll put it to use though

You will probably like the look of the old Singer machine I put up a short while ago - a Vintage Singer 29-D-58 Industrial Leather Manual Sewing Machine it says in the listing.

The machine has ' Bentalls Kingston on Thames ' which was a big department store in the south of England. So far I've not found a maker's name on it

@fredk Those goth boots I spoke about a looooong time ago?  I've done them.  They're lethal . They get a lot of looks at the markets. I just need to work out how to up load a pic on here  using a hand held device . I'll figure it out eventually .

@fredk re: vintage  radios, I have a shed with my collection of valve radios  in . Along with parts, valves etc.  It was a hobby  in another  life . Some are / were in working condition, some restored,  table models and floor models ,but I have nowhere  to display  them in my house, no room  :dunno:  The one that zapped me is a Philips (I think) single valve wood bee hive cabinet. When unplugged,  it put out 95 volts ️  .

Two things arrived in the post today

1. From Temu this hole punch sharpener. The outside cone to sharpen the inside edge of punches and the tool has a hollow part to help sharpen the outside edge. Comes in a protective plastic box. This should help me keep my punches sharp

2. From texasleathertools a handled stamp. He took one of my Viking eagles and made a stamp. And is it tiny! Only 12mm (1/2 inch) across the base. Made in machined brass with a steel handle. First class workmanship. It came with its own plastic protective case. Now I need to find a project I can use it on

I put some paint on the design so you could see it clearly - remember this only 12mm across the base
