CFM chuck123wapati Posted yesterday at 11:22 AM CFM Report Posted yesterday at 11:22 AM Nice !!!! Quote Worked in a prison for 30 years if I aint shiny every time I comment its no big deal, I just don't wave pompoms. “I won’t be wronged, I won’t be insulted, and I won’t be laid a hand on. I don’t do these things to other people, and I require the same from them.” THE DUKE!
Members DoogMeister Posted yesterday at 02:41 PM Members Report Posted yesterday at 02:41 PM Nice re-use of the old Singer base. Keep us posted on how it works. I've been considering one of these myself. Quote
Members TomE Posted yesterday at 02:44 PM Members Report Posted yesterday at 02:44 PM (edited) That's a beauty! I am still making friends with my patcher but find it is very handy for repairs. It seems reasonably forgiving of my lack of experience with it. Have fun. Here's the manual for the Cobra 29-18 patcher. https://cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/0631/4000/3933/files/29-18_Manual.pdf?v=1747672941 Edited yesterday at 02:47 PM by TomE Quote

I see the Singer table but where do you stand to use it??? I have severe peripheral neuropathy in my feet and legs . . . (starting in my hands as well . . . ugh) . . . so I have to sit while using it. Coincidentally . . . saw a Singer frame for sale . . . had to laugh when I thought of it . . . Wound up buying two frames . . . will make a table for our church out of the other one. I sit on a folding stool when using it . . . and it is really comfortable. It is a Chinese copy of a Singer 29 something . . . it is one of the two with the smaller spool . . . about the size of a quarter. I was somewhat concerned about the thread . . . turns out that good old carpet thread works great in it . . . I'm also going to remodel it some day down the road . . . in the arms (solid 2 x 4's right now) . . . I'm going to make some long drawers . . . keep all the thread, bobbins, needles, etc. in them.

I went to the page on threading . . . the Chinese actually coppied the same images and everything in my book that came with it.

May God bless, Dwight They might have come by the manual honestly from their Chinese friends who make the Cobra machines. Glad we're all on the same page. You got a bargain. Quote
Members dikman Posted 17 hours ago Members Report Posted 17 hours ago Looks good. I often think isn't it a good thing Singer made those frames to last forever! They can be very useful indeed - and they look cool! My Pfaff 335 is on one. Quote Machines wot I have - Singer 51W59; Singer 331K4; Seiko STH-8BLD; Pfaff 335; CB4500. Chinese shoe patcher; Singer 201K (old hand crank)

I bought 2 of em . . . asked the lady if it was a Singer . . . she said yes . . . loaded it up . . . got it home . . . then saw that it didn't have the "Singer" across the middle like the one in the picture. Had to go buy another one . . . checked it this time. Yep . . . they are one solid platform for sure. May God bless, Dwight Quote If you can breathe, . . . thank God.
