2013年6月30日 · WD40 and 3 in 1 oil, both have some additives that are murder on the plastic cams that have been in a lot of machines for the last 30ish years plus they get gummy over time. Gummy and a high lint environment (such as sewing equipment is subjected to) leads to a messy disaster. If you only need a small amount, then Dritz or Singer Sewing Machine ...

2011年7月11日 · Not familiar with Hall's system, I've always used aluminum oxide stones and Arkansas stones with water. Tried various oils; 3-n-1, WD-40, Singer sewing machine, motor oil, cooking oils, etc, at first like various stone providers recommended but the stones would get clogged with metal particles that prevented the sharp edges I wanted and, cleaning the stones …

2017年1月11日 · She began sewing and selling biker doo-rags when we got into motorcycles in 2001, then we got the sewing shop in 2006 and she started teaching me how to machine sew. I hand sewed a bit using a saddle stitch on my leather items back in the 80s & 90s, used a double-loop lace on most items, but now I’d rather use a machine if I’m sewing.

2024年6月18日 · That machine was a good find. Congrats. Sewing has become too much of a lost art - I don't think they even have sewing or home-ec in schools any more. Even though the wife and I have trouble threading needles, we're not parting with any machinery or sewing things. Our daughter has taken it up, which is gratifying.

2011年6月20日 · If you have a treadle sewing machine, then you have something valuable for when the power is gone. Get a cheap bike and rig your generator to that.

2013年3月25日 · The engine ran better and made a touch more power with the oil. A few times, I even used more oil, possibly close to 50%, just dumped it in. Ran just fine. I filtered the used motor oil, by drawing it from the top of the drum, passing it through a 0.5 micron motorguard filter and into a jerry jug.

2017年5月19日 · It might be ok for a wire wheel to knock rust and dirt off of old sewing machine parts. I have an old step pulley that I had thought of mounting onto one of my electric sewing machine power stands (clutch motor) as a speed reducer, but haven’t ever gotten a bracket figured out for it. It’s an 11” and a 2” pulley built together.

2021年7月31日 · I had to do this by hand as it was too much for the sewing machine. I back stitched them with heavy duty upholstery thread and then put seam grip sealant over the areas to protect them from wear. I ran the FLC straps up through the shoulder strap webbing and looped them through the metal retainers on the front of the shoulder straps.

2025年1月10日 · Does grandma know sewing? I'd be happy to hire her to use my old pedal operated sewing machine, and take the cloth I've stored and turn it into shirts and jeans. Women of all ages can take care of the chickens, gather the eggs, tend the gardens. Prepare the harvested food and do the cooking.
