Evo160K Posted April 23, 2017 Author Report Posted April 23, 2017 Can't speak to nuts, but they do seem to be addicted. Quote
Members dikman Posted April 23, 2017 Members Report Posted April 23, 2017 I went shooting last Saturday and we were sitting around talking. One of the guys said he's been looking at/researching sewing machines (because of what I've been telling him) and is slowly coming to grips with the terminology. I laughed and told him to be careful as they can become highly addictive! Quote Machines wot I have - Singer 51W59; Singer 331K4; Seiko STH-8BLD; Pfaff 335; CB4500.

Evo160K Posted May 25, 2017 Author Report Posted May 25, 2017 My hats off and a big thank you to LW member, Jimi, for jumping in and helping a member in need. Those of you who have followed this topic know the treadle I'm restoring is missing the support piece shown in the second photo above. I looked online and on most every eBay site I could find around the world for weeks with no results. I could have jury rigged something, but it didn't seem fair to the restoration of this honorable old piece. Well Jimi was kind enough to take the support off of his treadle, make a mold from it, make a casting from the mold, securely package them and send the mold and casting to me, so I could have the support cast in metal. After all of that time and effort, Jimi only wanted the cost of the shipping. He said the materials are a gift. So I want to acknowledge Jimi's kindness and consideration and post a couple of pictures of his mold and casting......his first attempt by the way. Thank you Jimi. Thank you very much. Quote

Could you please measure it if possible, I have also a missing part of support arm Edited June 17 by depodarcom photos Quote
