I didn't have to bulk anything up but if you have room it wouldn't hurt.  

I'm looking for a narrow arm cylinder machine.  Any thoughts?

There are a lot of variables and I would need to see the type of thing that you would want to make to give any worthwhile advice.

I have printed presser feet and needle plates for my Campbell Randall for parts they don't make anymore.  They don't last as long as steel but when they wear out I just print another.

Any pictures? I am curious of the sewing machine model.

Hi Brian, Check out page 10, there is a set for sewing bag handles which might give you some ideas or maybe try and adapt it for your CB4500

Err Jimi, that appears to be a link to your C drive?

I don't think he really would like us looking through his C Drive?

Ouuuuh Jimi, you have some interesting files on your C Drive  **kidding**

I think this is the device / set Jimi refers to.

I wonder where all the nice sewing devices Singer once sold went to - you never find them. Are they all worn out and junked? Or still in use? Or is there a black hole for Singer parts? You even barely find presser feet for 45K´s

Hey thanks for the thought jimi and Folker, I am interested to have a play around on some of this stuff soon.

Just at present I have a large scale operator wanting me to high tech up their belt making department and that is allowing me to come up with a heap of interesting stuff. Today I worked out I can print spacers for the various width strap cutting as well as the belt combining machine. The pla+ is way quicker than me on the lathe to print and I reckon their going to be better as well. I will check and see if any of these pics I been taking work out or not and get back shortly.

Lousy pics but help to explain better ......a bit

This one is the first on the combining machine. Here I am stripping a belt filler which turned out exactly wrong. I forgot in the drawing to account for the knife thickness. Worked beautifully though

Haha, great stuff Brian. I got the bite and bought a second hand abandoned kit  yes pain in tha arse to get it going as it was in bits. but it is getting there. what you just made was on my list to see if i could make a bulged type strap but i dont have the machine to go with it so i would be making something up. apart from all the stupid little upgrade parts you end up making here are some bits i managed to get together...

his was really for laughs, but it works...Haha the stitch length changes a little but it can get you out of a squeeze if you need something fast.

this was needed as it has no swing down, just changed the length as i dont have the original screw for this plate and someone drilled a couple more on i think??.also this machine came without the small oil box inside so i made that one up also.

what i am trying to do here is to use up some of these old printers stamps i had lying around for years, the ones that are yellow are resin ones i made to try and they seem to work, just need to router the back side to get them all the same height. this is for wetting the leather and stamping. I am using my hand press for rivets and buttons etc...

Seems like on the mirror works pretty good for you brian? do you heat it up??

Next thing i need to do is a small edge paint tray and wheel to see if that works, although i  am not a big fan of painting edges, i prefer to skive them and fold em. A double guide for the skiver is also on the list, for straps. i tried a skiver foot but was too wobbly so i will have to fill it in more.I will let you know how it goes.
