Woolies in the fruit section I think.

Actually, I think you're right, although I haven't seen them there for a while. The one I was trying to think of - the cable crews used something similar on the cables when hauling communications cables through underground ducts. I remember it looked interesting, but back then couldn't think of any other use for it!

Machines wot I have - Singer 51W59; Singer 331K4; Seiko STH-8BLD; Pfaff 335; CB4500.

Constabulary, they sure look good to me.  Impressive results from "scrap parts".

To bad that controller company doesn't ship to the US, looks like a good item.

 

scrap in quotation marks - leftovers is probably the more correct word ;)

You are right - they don`t ship the controllers to the US :blink: But I´m sure you will find similar controllers on ebay.com too.

EDIT:

There you go:

About the only thing I do different on mine is to replace the shaft with a threaded version that will accept every bobbin type I own...from the Singer 29K's large bobbin to the Juki LU-563. A #12 thread works about right with the diameter range.

Nice designs and beautiful workmanship @Constabulary ! That 45K bobbin in the video is wound to absolute perfection - not a single winding is out of place.

Really nice work. Have to make similar.

And like Uwe said, that 45K is winding really really nicely.

Thanks a lot :) - yes, I´m quite pleased. That curved metal piece really makes a difference I guess! Thats a left over from a broke Adler 5 winder.

Good work Constab!

 

I have huge spools of thread (5000 m) and I would like to transfer them to smaller spools for convenience and in some cases neccessity.  Would this system spin the thread on well enough in an orderly manner with no tension issues?.... In particular, I wish to do this for my Gritzner Sole machine and a few others..

 

Cheers

Alex

I´m sure it would. You need a tension unit the thread is running trough or a complete Bobbin winder which suits your bobbins. Most table mounted bobbin winders have a tension unit build in. It also has to accommodate the huge thread spool. Many variants are possible but depends on how you build the winder. So far my winders all work all very well. I also have to make one for 133K / 132K bobbins sooner or later.

Nicely done everybody and thanks a whole hell of a lot. Now I must urgently make something I didn't know I needed.
