Very interesting stuff- I saw a General Electric machine once that was the SewHandy, and I now own a Featherweight, but a 222, so free arm as well... Singer also made a rather similar fur sewing machine earlier- I have a 46K49 from 1920, looks incredibly similar. I am in Australia btw.
There is a Singer Model 176 (Look at around 1 minute into the video) shown in this movie that is almost identical to the Osann. Singer must have made a variety of fur sewing machines!
I just acquired an Osann in great cosmetic condition, but there is no chain/footpedal to activate the jaws. Could you send a photo of how/where this is attached inside the machine?? Thanks so much for your video !!
I put some photos of where the chain hooks up. Check here drive.google.com/drive/folders/18aaguTD79OYtLdpX3BHMr7m3YshGGhSf?usp=sharing The photos are from a Singer version (see video) but it is identical to the Osann.
Ossan..I can not stand to use my machine with a motor. could you post a picture to see how to adjust a treadle to be able to use it ...please ! Thak you very much !
I made a plywood top with a slit in it for the belt. I use the clear belts from McMaster Carr for all of my treadles. Look for part p/n 6567K1, it is called Quick-Connect Hollow-Core Round Belting 3/16" diameter. You also need some of the connector barbs which are on the same page. It grabs very well, and is easy to shorten. We have at least 8 to 10 treadles and they all use that belt. The treadle is a Singer 31-15 industrial treadle irons. There is a knee bar which I have connected to make it work to open the circular plate. If you treadle already, you probably use the whole foot on the peddle and the front part of the other foot on the bottom of the peddle. This gives you more control over keeping the machine sewing (I think). So find yourself a treadle Singer model 31 on craigslist and just plan on throwing the wood away. Or perhaps making a replacement center top part and leaving all of the nice wing leaves they have (left side and back side).
@@KevinPinkerton I am so grateful with you ¡ See, a few years ago I tried to do this, I failed on the part that open the jaws to press the two leather or fur parts, it did not work for me. I used a normal regular Singer treadle. Not industrial, but I have one. I made a pedal of wood, to attach to it, but it was not strong enough to open the jaws. But I know has worked for you. So I will keep trying. Regards from Chile, South America ¡
@@susanarodriguez7067 , it may be that the knee bar hardware was from another treadle. Over the years I have accumulated lots of parts from old junk machines. You are welcome and thanks for welcome yourself! My daughter currently lives in Mexico and leads some tour groups to places down in South America. She recently ran a tour in Guatemala. She had a degree in Spanish and speaks fluently. I understand none of it. :)
@@KevinPinkerton Congratulations on your daughter, her spanish and her job !. Love languages, started with English and I ended up making Court translations for a bunch of Mexican, involved in crimes, car accidents, insurance complains, etc. Loved it.
I will be honest with you. I have only sewed a couple of samples with the machine and I have an assortment of needle sizes. The needle that is in the machine has a rather large eye, and I have some size 11, 12 and 14 size needles that I must have selected from. Knowing me, I probably chose the largest eye size which would be the 11. I have some size 20 needles and they are extremely tiny eyes.
The official needle from Singer is 176x5, but it also is known as one of the following: 01:05, 292, 292A, 292BP, 392, AIx1 and you can easily find the needles (new) at Bonis Parts, or probably ebay if you keep your eye out. I just searched ebay for Bonis fur sewing needles and found some 292A. bonisparts.com/sewing-needles/
@@KevinPinkerton Hi Kevin! Sorry to bother you again. I bought the 292a needle, they do not fit the machine, they are short and much thinner. There is another option for the Singer 176-22 ?
@@backbaytailors168 , the old Singer needle for your machine was 176 x 3, and the old Singer catalog number for the needle wa 1011-02. I have a Singer 176-21 and I am not sure what the differences are, but all of the Singer 176 machines used either 176 x 3 or 176 x 5. Here is something the check on your machine. Turn the hand wheel until the needle bar / needle holder is all the way back. Whatever needle you use must sit all the way back inside the circular feeder. On my machine, the Bonis that distance is very, very short. Hence the short needle. Here is the measurements for the 292 or 292A needle that fits in my Singer 176-21. www.organneedle.com/industrie.php?p=AIx1&v=produkt&l=en

I just missed one. Thank you
Sews even though it isn’t threaded properly!
What is wrong with the threading? I am sure I used a manual to figure it out
I have an Osann fur sewing machine. What size needles do you use and where can I get them? Thank you!
look down thru the other comments. I have some links there as well.
Love the fur machine

How do you insert the needle?
bonisparts.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/06/ownersmanual.pdf
you miss one of the tensioner
Where would that be? Next to the needle? I thought I got that one.
I think I see which one. The large head screw right above the needle. The needle bar tension plunger...
What is the name/type of the needle for Singer 46K?
I have no idea what needle that machine takes. purchase a Singer needle book reprint off of ebay. I have one.
Amazing!
Sorry no. But I got at least a couple of my old machines on eBay. You should try there.
what the neam of this sweing machein
This is the Osann Fur sewing machine, but it is identical to the Singer, which is described in the video.
What size needles are you using.
Look in one of my comments below.
I sew neoprene on it
I sent you a message on Facebook with some questions about this machine as I just got one for myself. I hope you can help me out!
I bought a Singer 176-22, but I can't find needles, could you tell me where I can find it?
