Original Song “The Long Way Down”
Просмотров 623 месяца назад
Please don’t ever think I’m ignorant enough to believe for a minute that I can play good, sing good, or even write good. I can’t do any of this good, in fact I can’t sit down and write a song just because I want to. When it comes, I write it down, then butcher it like this when I feel the unction to embarrass myself in front of a crowd. I do this for one reason; I love relaying the words He giv...

Three original songs-I Found Grace, Why Me?, and Alibi
Просмотров 82Год назад
"I Found Grace" and "Why Me?", original songs by Ray Elkins. First time on stage for me in 30 years, we barely even had a chance to practice the first two songs and the three of us had not been in a room together until this evening. Andy had never heard "Alibi" and had only heard bad recordings (worse than this one) of the first two songs. Third song, "Alibi", written and performed by Owen Malo...
Slick Little Tabletop Elderberry Cleaner
Просмотров 2,5 тыс.4 года назад
Made from cherry wood and powered by a sewing machine motor. Uses a ShopVac to draw off all the small stem pieces and bugs from the frozen berries as they pass under the vacuum port. Using the same principle as a seed cleaner, air flow removes everything that is lighter than the frozen berries. In a later version, I may also attach the sifter in the hopper to the shaker. Right now, the hardware...
Polishing the handwheel on an antique sewing machine
Просмотров 3,8 тыс.6 лет назад
In our Sew Purty Workshops ( sewpurtyworkshops.com/ ) workshop held in Reedley, CA, I wanted to get the wheel polished on this Frister & Rossman hand-crank machine. I can usually remove these fairly easy with a puller and polish them on my machine with the cone-arbor, but there is always the risk of breaking them when it is necessary to use the puller. I decided to use the motor on my Taig Micr...
Solving Issues With Sewing Machine Picking up Lower Thread
Просмотров 120 тыс.6 лет назад
When an issue arises concerning picking up the lower thread, the problem is never the lower thread, but rather an issue with the upper thread not being caught by the hook or shuttle. I hope this video will serve as some help in seeing what needs to happen before you can pull the lower thread up.
Wheeler & Wilson Model D12 Free-Motion Embroidery Machine

Wheeler & Wilson was, at one time, the largest sewing machine manufacturer in the world. Being the developer and holder of some of the most significant patents dealing with sewing machines, they were a force to be reckoned with. Such innovations as the 4-motion feed and the rotating hook (both technology used in nearly all sewing machines even today) they were a vital spoke in the wheel for the...

Singer 201, 15, 1200 Potted Motor Removal
Просмотров 30 тыс.7 лет назад
Everybody thinks these are so hard to remove and, judging from some of the pictures I've seen of butchered screw heads, I guess they are without the right tools, techniques, and a few little tidbits of knowledge thrown in the mix. There is an easy way to do anything on a sewing machine and it always pays to ask before destroying something. :-)

    Very instructive, thank you, Ray! Brass hammer - Jewelry supplies. Some screws are not rusty but gummed up from old hardened machine oil and disuse. What works on these is Carburetor cleaner, degreaser, penetrating oil which unsticks the old oil. It is more resistant to your methods as gummy oil is flexible and holds on tight. Heat gun also helps. The best penetrating oil as tested by Project Farm on Utube is Acetone 50:50 Auto Transmission Fluid oil. Mix in jar. Heat up metal screws (no plastic) and apply onto screw. Let soak in day after day till screw is loose. Work to remove old gummed up oil. Carb cleaner also works.

    Hi Ray thanks for the video. I have a silver plated W & W and it is serial number 555048 with the same decals as your #1 is it a possibility that mine is a number #1 and not a #3. Also does the needle curve go to the left?? I have mine all cleaned up just trying to get her to sew now. Thanks.

    • @rayelkins7872
      @rayelkins7872 5 месяцев назад

      If yours has the silver plating, it is a #1. That is what distinguishes (and is the only difference) the #1 from the others. If it had painted arms, it would be a #3. The decals are irrelevant as they changed over time. I don’t understand your question about the curve. It curves neither right nor left, the curve should match the arc of the needle bar.

    I noticed on the spring before the last one that you did not move it into that open gap. I’m working on a Singer 99 crinkle finish and the assembly is a little bit different but it does have the part I’m asking about. I struggled for two hours trying to get that spring into that gap and maybe it doesn’t even need to go in there because I see you left it out, I sure hope that’s the case. I’m gonna get back on the bobbin winder assembly here in a bit and see if I can get it right. Thanks for sharing.

I got the right tools, and doing exactly what you did in the video the screws came loose so easy! Absolutely astounding! Thank you.

    This video was very helpful, thank you. I've been given my Grandma's 1940 Singer sewing machine. It kept unthreading. I dismantled the tension dials following one of your other videos with no success. After watching this video I went back to look at the little instruction book to check which way to thread the needle. I'd been threading it right to left but it should have been left to right. It works perfectly now. I would never of thought to check that without you. So thank you. X
