Those Singer machines were built to last Rotfl when you say your Gran then your mom owned one that will go on for generations to come before anything wears outDrool
If only things were built like that today . . . . . . A crime to toss it onto the tip ......... good job you were there to rescue it.
I have a foot operated K29 leather stitching Singer that is almost 100 years old and still going the same as the day it was made Smiley-signs107

My grandmother had one similar to that but it was probably older. I wonder what happened to it (thinking out loud). Chin

Simple job today. The trigger on the hose gun broke "Just plastic rubbish"

So a couple of hrs pottering in the shop put me in the wife's good books, she can now water her flowers.

Plastic has its place, but that's definitely not one of them. Nice job Brian, it never hurts to add a few extra Brownie points.

Whoa! Ang on, ang on.
What material did you use Brian?
I mean, is it aluminum and you were able to send to Tom for internet anodizing?
Or maybe some kinda Sicilian silver?

No, I'll bet you have a 3-D printer?


RE: Todays Project - What did you do today? - EdK - 05-11-2013

I worked on the work stop for my vise. The rod that is bolted on to the back of the vise is just hardware store zinc plated 1/2" mystery steel. The two blocks are made from some 7/8" 12L14 that I had laying around. Next is to make the brass clamps and then chamfer the edges of the blocks to make them look pretty. I think I'm going to paint the blocks to match the vise.
