Contributing Member fredk Posted June 19 Author Contributing Member Report Posted June 19 (edited) 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 and it has a nice wood case 4 Singers, 1 Singer clone, 1 Tippmann Boss, 1 New Home & 1 (unknown) Edited June 19 by fredk Quote Al speling misteaks aer all mi own werk..
Members SUP Posted June 20 Members Report Posted June 20 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. Quote Learning is a life-long journey.
Contributing Member fredk Posted June 25 Author Contributing Member Report Posted June 25 @Sheilajeanne 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 I can't decipher this on the front of the arm Quote Al speling misteaks aer all mi own werk..

Members Handstitched Posted July 16 Members Report Posted July 16 @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 The one that zapped me is a Philips (I think) single valve wood bee hive cabinet. When unplugged, it put out 95 volts ⚡️ . HS Quote ' I have a very gweat friend in Wome called Biggus Dickus, He has a wife you know, do you know whats she's called?

Contributing Member fredk Posted July 21 Author Contributing Member Report Posted July 21 (edited) 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 Edited July 21 by fredk Quote Al speling misteaks aer all mi own werk..
Contributing Member fredk Posted 19 hours ago Author Contributing Member Report Posted 19 hours ago (edited) Workers are coming to install a completely new heating system in my flat/apartment so all my furniture has been moved about to give access to all the radiators. My spare bedroom which is my leatherwork room is chock-full of items from the other rooms. Its been like this for over a month now. The workers tried to install on the 26th May but the surveyor made a mistake so they couldn't do it. Another team are supposed to it on Thursday 30th, this week. I've not been able to do any leatherwork since about May 20th and several projects are mid-finish. Might not be able to get back to leatherwork until about August 8th or so. I'm having severe 'withdrawal' symptoms! Edited 19 hours ago by fredk Quote Al speling misteaks aer all mi own werk..
