Members badger Posted March 22, 2009 Members Report Posted March 22, 2009 I have had the great good fortune of acquiring a lovely BUSM 'Pilot' harness stitcher and I need a manual for it. Anybody have one or know where I can get one? Cheers, Karl Quote

Members ryano Posted March 23, 2009 Members Report Posted March 23, 2009 Can we see a picture of this machine? I looked and looked, but cannot find one. Thanks! Quote
Members badger Posted March 23, 2009 Author Members Report Posted March 23, 2009 Here you go. Brilliant machine. Cheers, Karl Quote
Members ryano Posted March 23, 2009 Members Report Posted March 23, 2009 Thanks for the nice pictures! That's a stout looking machine! I'm sure it will serve you well! Quote
Members badger Posted March 23, 2009 Author Members Report Posted March 23, 2009 It would serve me a lot better if I had a bloody manual for it Karl Quote
Contributing Member UKRay Posted March 23, 2009 Contributing Member Report Posted March 23, 2009 (edited) Now don't you be unkind to that lovely machine, Karl. You promised you'd be nice to him... It would serve me a lot better if I had a bloody manual for it Karl Edited March 23, 2009 by UKRay Quote "Some mornings, it's just not worth chewing through the leather straps" Ray Hatley www.barefootleather.co.uk
Members badger Posted March 23, 2009 Author Members Report Posted March 23, 2009 I am being nice Ray, honestly. I spent the day with him making him jump though hoops. I found I can open the bobbin case, swing the bobbin out, remove and replace it and install and thread the new bobbin and the whole machine without any tools at all, just my chubby little sausage fingers. It became a kind of demented challenge..... I also found out I can safely triple back stitch with it at the end of a run. If that isn't strong enough I don't know what is! It's a remarkable machine. I must publicly thank UKRay for letting me adopt his strange cast iron child Cheers, Karl Quote
Contributing Member UKRay Posted March 23, 2009 Contributing Member Report Posted March 23, 2009 I'm very pleased to hear you are both getting along so well. I have almost three times as much space to move around in my workroom now, though it won't be long before it fills up again... the new machine is even bigger! IMHO, it could be even less time before his bobbin case rips the fingernail off your chubby little sausage fingers and you bleed on the nice clean leather... either that or you will sew both hands together... Biggles can be a tad spiteful if you don't give him enough respect. If you get tired of him you can always bring him back. Have fun!
