Members Constabulary Posted August 30, 2018 Author Members Report Posted August 30, 2018 (edited) So after having the machine in a space saving manner mounted on the end of my 111G156 table I figured the idea is space saving but I needed the work space left of the machines so I needed another solution for my "Caliber .45". Some pictures of the new setup for the 45D91 Stand is from a patcher and I have added a "pedal mount" from a flat bed Singer stand. Pedal mount is nearly flush with the ground but since the stand is on brake casters I still can easily move it. Still have to do minor modifications (ball caster on the left end of the pedal mount and so on) but it´s almost done. I also made a flat bed attachment Edited August 30, 2018 by Constabulary Quote ~ Keep "OLD CAST IRON" alive - it´s worth it ~ Machines in use: - Singer 111G156 - Singer 307G2 - Singer 29K71 - Singer 212G141 - Singer 45D91 - Singer 132K6 - Singer 108W20 - Singer 51WSV2 - Singer 143W2
Members Constabulary Posted August 30, 2018 Author Members Report Posted August 30, 2018 (edited) The flat bed attachment is made from a IKEA bamboo cutting board and a piece of scrap metal. Slit right of the metal plate is because I made an odd move with the router but I can live with it. I think I´ll fill it with some wood filler.

Members Scoutmom103 Posted August 30, 2018 Members Report Posted August 30, 2018 Nice. I like how compact it is. Did you make your own speed reducer for this? Quote
Members dikman Posted August 30, 2018 Members Report Posted August 30, 2018 Nice job with the stand, looks good. Quote Machines wot I have - Singer 51W59; Singer 331K4; Seiko STH-8BLD; Pfaff 335; CB4500. Chinese shoe patcher; Singer 201K (old hand crank)
Members bullmoosepaddles Posted August 30, 2018 Members Report Posted August 30, 2018 Awesome work Sir. Your an inspiration. I need to buy some sort of cheap machine. Then tear it down just to see if I have the mental and emotional fortitude to put it back together in working condition. Quote
Members shoepatcher Posted August 30, 2018 Members Report Posted August 30, 2018 Folker, Great job as usual. I wish I still had my 97-10. You would have had a great time with it. I still have a few parts. glenn Quote

I have modified it - originally it had one heavy cast iron double pulley but it did not work with this machine setup.

DonInReno Posted August 31, 2018 Report Posted August 31, 2018 The cutting board is a great idea and the results are very good. The machine turned out exceptionally well - I like how you went about it all. Quote
Members Constabulary Posted August 31, 2018 Author Members Report Posted August 31, 2018 The cutting board idea originally came from UWE. The board has a nice surface and just costs 6€ on my side of the pond. https://www.ikea.com/de/de/catalog/products/80233430/ a little bit more in the US but still a nice piece of wood for the money https://www.ikea.com/us/en/catalog/products/80233430/ Quote ~ Keep "OLD CAST IRON" alive - it´s worth it ~ Machines in use: - Singer 111G156 - Singer 307G2 - Singer 29K71 - Singer 212G141 - Singer 45D91 - Singer 132K6 - Singer 108W20 - Singer 51WSV2 - Singer 143W2
