Glad to see you have an antique all human piwered save a firtune on electricity

Mom still has that heavy duty i dustrial Singer sewing machine and its a piwer house beast .

I don't understand why they can't make a new manual/mechanical model with more stitches for people that want do off grid. It doesn't need to be cast iron, it could be stainless steel or aluminum. The plastic ones are just plain ugly. I would probably even bug a lower cost electric plastic model if they shaped it more like the original.

Enjoyed the previous restoration video and great to see the final result of all that work with the Machine functioning smoothly.It looks very similar to the series 66 Singer.Apparently back stitching is possible by pushing the back lever to the up position-lifting the foot and moving the fabric forward. Kind regards Aaron

I have a 1938 15-88 treadle bought new by my grandma. Came to my mom when I was a kid so toyed with it a few times as a kid, just getting it so sew, not actually making anything. Came to me 40 years ago and it has just been an ornament till I recently retired. Having fun using it, made a couple things, going to try denim next and was surprised at how much power you got from the treadle. Hint: Grandma kept a chunk of resin in the drawer, I assume she used it to stop slipping (main belt), and a chunk of beesax to promote slipping :) I use the wax on the end of the thread, then cut, it slices the fibres clean and stiffens the thread, easier to thread the needle.

Nice job. Sandblasting would save you lots of time and effort.

It looks like my 15-88

Using steel pliers on a knurled nut! Cretin!

Well done. I enjoyed watching.

good job well done! what kind of singer heavy duty are you using?

4:45 This!!! I can disassemble this very easily BUT assembling it again is a brainrot task and if not done correctly it will upset my mom lol. I want to make CAD model and working animation of this machine for which i have to disassemble the whole machine, measure every single part and assemble it again!!! Sadly it seems an impossible task now without wrecking it still i will give a try!!

Second clip while playing the handpan almost sounds like the first notes of in the end by linking park

Hello, first time watching this channel, is there a reason the technique is such a difficult one used? I can see that simple changes in technique would make life so much easier. For starters a leather awl would make sewing the leather layers so much easier. Also on the decorative leather straps if this is not over the seam then why wait until the “cylinder” is seamed and turned to attach it? If it is over the seam there are several variations of methods to use to actually sew it in the the seam I cannot recommend one over the other because I do not know the intended style. All and all this was a pleasant beginner sewing video to watch. I hope to see a future video with better technique someday though.

nicely done on paper.....now for broadcloth or muslin ...I will say that the tension on your stitching looks spot on.

Your first mention of a French seam is actually a butterfly seam, but when you refer to "frenching" a seam, it looks like you're top stitching

I can't seem to get the treadle to engage the needle. I've checked the length of the cord, it is neither too long or too short. I trun the upper wheel by handle and the needle goes up and down but it doesn't if I try to pedal. What's wrong?

I have almost the same machine. How do I know what size needles it can use?

Gorgeous!

I know a few people who have a treadle sewing machine similar to yours and they love sewing with it better than using an electric sewing machine.

You do beautiful work. I watched your videos about refurbishing your vintage sewing machine. I am so happy you refurbished the old Singer because they are such a gem and are a work of art, more than your new monstrocity Singer, (as you say). Look how amazing it sews and it's 100 years old, it was made when things were made to last. New machines are made with many plastic parts which is built in obsolescence. You have many talents and it is very interesting to watch your videos. You said that you were posting your backpacks for sale on some local Hungarian site. So you are Hungarian?

The best way to release old oil is to add more oil. Oil is a solvent. The machine is made to handle sewing machine oil. Same idea for getting the shafts out. Add oil. Lots and lots of sewing machine oil. It's usually not rust that is keeping things together. It's oil. Also there's probably lead in the paint. End result looks good though. Nice.

Beautiful ❤

Please minimize fast forwarding. Better to show the beginning and then the end of each step than to speed through it. At speed , it's difficult to see what's actually being done.

As others have mentioned, your machine oil is old and cruddy. Oxidated or something. The oil should be clear. I have read that light is its enemy, so I made a little opaque cover for my oil bottle. Just in case you need a small project to sew!

Beautiful..keep up the great work ❤

Really cool build and great video, keep it up.👍 When using the plunge router and making the table round, try out mounting the router in your workbench, then drilling the center in the bench at the needed radius, there will be no wobble, when making the first pass. Anyway, great to see other makers /small channels as myself creating great things with tools that are available!💪

Amazing video...amazing work....what is the exact model of this sewing machine?...do you know where (site/link) can i verify the country of production?i know that i should enter the s/n scribed on the plate...

You should NOT run the machine with the presser foot down...two things...the feed dogs will scratch the presser foot...and the foot can DULL the feed dogs...If you wish to run the machine with the presser foot DOWN be sure to have fabric in . Its ok to run the machine without fabric IF you keep the presser foot raised.

When I started watching this video I wasn't expecting for you to come as far as you came disassembling the machine! I haven't seen other people manage to clean so deeply a vintage machine like you did. Even though you were mad because you couldn't take out the main shaft, I was amazed by your work! Congratulations!

To sew backwards, just pull up the presser foot lever up (while the wheel is still spining) and slide the fabric backwards; to continue forwards, just drop the food back down. It takes some practice, but it only works on treddle machines because you need a free hand to lift the lever and move the fabric backwards simultaneously. Otherwise, you can stop the needle in the fabric and do a 180 turn and stitch normally.

Everyone who restores an antique sewing machine deserves a special reward.

Well, it wasn't a rare machine, so no real harm. But this was a fairly barbaric job as sewing machine conservation goes. But it looks nice.

Antigüedad machine 3ñ4 me the best❤

A Model 66 ISN'T Treadle-POWERED so it's a FAKE! The LAST Treadle powered Singer was the Model 22 sold in 1917. My Great Aunt Katie OWNED ONE converted to an electric motor in the mid-thiries. With the proper NEEDLE a Model 22 will sew five layers of 3MM OAK TANNED LEATHER albeit slowly. Not MY "opinion" that's straight from the Singer Sewing Machine Guide to Uses and Care.

$500 for a treadle machine? US? Wow. People sometimes quite literally throw them away in the US. Very easily found for under $50. Mixed blessing, I suppose, for those of us who appreciate them

You skipped all the important steps!!! which holes the oil, How to thread the machine, and the bobbin threading set up! Everything else is the same as a modern sewing machine

I am speechless that you removed the japanning and original decals which were actually in really good condition. All this machine needed was a good cleaning.

I learned how to sew on a treadle sewing machine when I was eight years old.. I have owned one for the past 50 years.. You have better control of the machine if you learn to use both feet on the pedal.

tous beaux tous bon, un bon travaille qui finit bien

Why is there no spring on the presser rod?

Lovely work It’s a beauty! ❤❤❤❤❤😂🎉

Do you know where to buy decal sets for an Eldredge "B" machine? Thanks!

I also use 2 feet on a treadle machine -- left foot fully on the pedal and toes of right foot on it also. Heel of right foot stays on the floor. Then, it's just left, right, left, right, etc. It's actually a very soothing rhythm. I have an antique White treadle machine that I hope to restore.

I applaud your restoration skills. Where can I get the Singer pattern?

At 9:37 it isn't quite threaded correctly, the thread needs to go from the tension disks, around that curved arm just above them, back down into the tension spring, and only then up to the take-up arm and back down through the thread guides to the needle. Correcting this should result in more consistent stitch tension

Great job. Try regularly rubbing a candle on the drawer runners to help them run smooth and free.

We used to call those Duffle Bags in England and they were popular with school children in the late 1960s for gym kit, writing pens, snacks, etc and made of canvas. They did not usually have a closing flap. They are very useful and of course can be held across the chest for added security in crowds. I like your old and new machine and well done with the overhaul. I have a Singer 99K from 1957 that was made in Scotland and was my Moms from new.

I just found your channel. I do this kind of work as well. some of it is on my channel. I really enjoyed watching your your journey. Be well.
