I bought mine in California for 125 bucks. Was a nice commercial machine. Sold it when I needed room, wish I wouldn't have. I did upholstery stuff with it

Never had a machine but I did leather work for a while. Quit when my hands got bad.

They are good for sewing canvas for the jeeps
Do you know what a Chinese patcher is? I bought one then modified it with a servo motor
It does ok. but , i need to figure out a different foot pedal arrangement

I have a couple also , but they control by using electricity
What i need is to control an arm manually

I step on an old singer foot pedal. it pulls a wire that is routed over a pulley, it pulls the arm I

I need a better way

thank you, but there is SO much i do not know

 

[Havasu]

Hey Chris, sure wish you lived closer. I need to borrow your electric jack hammer to punch a hole in my slab and find a leaking water line!

 

[frodo]

ohhhhhhhnoooo

how do you know it is right there?

 

[Havasu]

Pretty easy when you smell mold and buckled LVT. That is a concrete slab, with a concrete sealer and waterproofing, with 1/2 inch of crap plywood to build up to make no thresholds needed and lever the entire floor. I remember seeing a half assed patch under the wood, so I assume the previous owner used a sharkbite or duct tape to fix a pinhole leak. Stupid Muslim meth addict!

 

[frodo]

OUCH. That is gong to hurt the pocket book

Have seen the price of wood lately?

I quit buying when it had tripled.

 

[frodo]

DAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAMN
I just checked the prices. particle board 40 bucks

 

[Floorist]

I was making some handmade furniture, but can't make a profit at the current prices.

 

[frodo]

I like that,
you can buy that same LOOKING chair at walmart for $40 bucks
and it will break in a year. Where as yours will last 100 years
