Members dikman Posted October 15 Members Report Posted October 15 Fascinating. The foundry work, mold-making and casting was particularly interesting, thanks Constabulary. Quote Machines wot I have - Singer 51W59; Singer 331K4; Seiko STH-8BLD; Pfaff 335; CB4500. Chinese shoe patcher; Singer 201K (old hand crank)
AlZilla Posted October 16 Report Posted October 16 That second one was interesting. I liked the sort of open frame stands they had to assemble the machines. Around 11:30.

kgg Posted October 16 Report Posted October 16 @Constabulary I really enjoyed those video's. A bygone time when there was pride in workmanship right down to the making of needles. Notice the overhead drive system for the lathes etc. kgg Quote Juki DNU - 1541S, Juki DU - 1181N, Singer 29K - 71(1949), Chinese Patcher (Tinkers Delight), Warlock TSC-441, Techsew 2750 Pro, Consew DCS-S4 Skiver
