Members SouthAussieBloke Posted June 29, 2022 Members Report Posted June 29, 2022 Please excuse the "Joanne comment" in the photo, it annoys me as It comes up on every post ( I changed the default comment, now it shows up with that comment all the time) Quote

Members Tastech Posted July 31, 2023 Members Report Posted July 31, 2023 Better late than never . As always seems to be the case . I have a couple of singer 31k48's . A beautiful machine as are all in the 31K series . I got mine from an old shoe maker mate and they really needed some love . They were working only just so i decided to go full restoration . Apart from being a shoemaker i am also a mechanical engineer with all the right equipment to do the job and a large workshop in which to do the work . I am not big on photos so i don't have any before photos but i did take the after photos . looks like i will have to post the photos in 3 different posts because the files are too big. Below is one i decide to paint white because why not . Its easy to see the sewing process and i think looks pretty good . It is missing 2 parts the flywheel which i dropped and cracked and a little funny looking spring that attaches to the bobbin casing which i know i fill find or retrofit one day . Quote
Members Tastech Posted July 31, 2023 Members Report Posted July 31, 2023 Part 2 . This one is working well and in operation I use for shoe uppers . I have it on a treadle stand because i can go real slow to get around tight curves when doing brogues and very precise detail Quote
Members Tastech Posted July 31, 2023 Members Report Posted July 31, 2023 Part 3 . The image below shows the machine on its treadle frame which i sand blasted and had powder coated in a hard to describe hammer tone silver/black I have since moved it to another treadle frame with a smaller main wheel which gives me a lower speed and higher torque . Treadle frames can be a bit funny depending on what machine and what you are sewing I like the wheel of a 29k patcher because it is small and has 2 grooves equaling 2 speeds . This big wheel treadle frame now powers a 31K20 upholstery machine . I am yet to experiment with a servo motor but my hip is telling me to get one soon . I hope you guys find these photos interesting Quote
Members Burkhardt Posted August 1, 2023 Members Report Posted August 1, 2023 Nice looking machines, but, you made it to easy that you're a mechanical engineer but you can't reduce the picture size Quote
Members Tastech Posted August 1, 2023 Members Report Posted August 1, 2023 I had trouble uploading the photos because they were to big so i had to reduce the last one so it would send . I had quite a few attempts . I have the photos on my phone which i had to email to myself and grab them off the computer to post here . Is there an etiquette on how big or small my photos should be ?
