Sweet Puritan Stitching Machine Video

OK Bob got me up to speed about the canvas. I should have known better about the hook snaging the cloth. Wiz did say leather after all.

I have one on the way! It looks to be somewhere between these machines and the OS36 in height but I will have more details soon.

Like Darren I'm also attracted to old machinery, I have two Puritans, actually one is labelled an Astra, however its a Puritan copy I guess. I bought these machines some time back and haven't had them running as yet, this video has really given me something to think about. Regards and thanks for posting Steve

Steve, you might be happy to know that in the last couple of weeks I have spoken to three people in the greyhound industry who want to sew conveyor belt material. The Puritan machines might be what they need.

Well I bought the Purtain High Speed at the sale. $200 I got it home and in the shop today. Gave it a quick oil up and it sewed right off. !/2 inch of harness leather is the most that will go under the foot no problem stitch length from 0 to just short of 1/2 inch. Tomorrow I start the clean up. I am going to put it on a new table and set it up like the book said with the foot lift on the left and see how I like that. I'll try to remember to take some pictures as I go. The book with it was dated 1907.
