This is just... wrong. Butyl tape works better, then wrap with cloth and paint... but this pirate operation could weave grass skirt and make all the girls giggle and have to travel to this remote outpost to have one no matter the cost, lol
This is the best explanation of repairing a jib on the internet today! Tom discusses common issues working through the whole process and describing what needs to be done, why and how to make needed foresail repairs including how to add sacrificial UV protection. A great video by a skilled sailmaker. Thank you!
Great video. I have a Stager which is what this is based off of. There’s a 6-Row Feed Dog available (Part Number #CS415F) that uses the dead space on the feed-dog in front of the needle; but it’s rare and has to be imported from a Consew/Seiko dealer. #CS139F is the matching Needle Plate. The feet on these tend to stick to the material at times, attaching Teflon to the bottom might alleviate it.
Thanks for the video. Have the Professional and love it. I watched the Solent video on timing. Help also. They have added an offset to the rod around the 4-point 2-point cam to make changing very easy and quick. Need to get Sailrite to consider getting a model back for sale. Again, thanks for your comments on the adjustments.
I did not see where you folded over the top edge for the top seam - but it looks like you folded it over at least at the location of the handles right before you attached the handles? Thanks - just discovered your channel.
Hi Tom, your tension issue, Is your presser foot sticking, or being held up, maybe slightly off the fabric. If the fabric lifts a little it will give the impression of top tension problem, and the knot will always be on the bottom, might be worth a check.
You really are a skilled craftsman. First video ive seen of yours, but watching you make that boot cover im impressed, it came out perfectly. Nice job & thanks for sharing.
Working construction and wound up on a job site where all ropes for lifting had to have a spliced eye cause they didn't trust people tying knots. They were using these huge 3 strand bull ropes because it seamed to be the only rope they could braid an eye into. I tried other videos on RU-vid and failed on 5 other videos. Watching your video I did it on my first try (slowly, rewinding, and Watching over and over). Thank you so much for taking the time to do this. It's not always easy to take time out of your busy day for complete strangers to benefit. Because. of people like you and Thousands of others in the RU-vid community, you're making people's lives easier one video at at time. Thank you again.
Wow!! I am so, so glad you guys made this video! I can see sewing Sunbrella sacrificial on a Yankee-cut jib for us in the future. With this video I feel a lot more confident about the whole process- BIG THANK YOU! 😀
This is the Brion Toss splicing wand. Unfortunately they are increasingly difficult to find since his untimely death some years ago. Some arborist sites have them as well as sailrite sometimes. I believe the one in this video is the medium size wand.
Super instruction. I have tried to make a proper splice for many years and even given up on it. With your instruction i have just made a perfect one in 8 mm Liros - Herkules vision. Thank you from Denmark
The splicing wand was built by Brion Toss but they are getting difficult to find since he passed away some years ago. Sailrite, some random arborist sites have them... I was using the medium size in this video
