AlZilla Posted Thursday at 01:01 AM Report Posted Thursday at 01:01 AM That second one was interesting. I liked the sort of open frame stands they had to assemble the machines. Around 11:30.

kgg Posted Thursday at 01:23 AM Report Posted Thursday at 01:23 AM @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
