I have to give respect to the workers there. With the squatting, knee destroying work positions to the extensive dust and grime they still put out a workable product. I have an old tredle powered Singer at home that is very similar. It was built 100 years before these, so the design has stood the test of time.
@@christopherprice-hq5syAs of my last knowledge update in September 2021, there is no widely known or documented history that suggests that the Singer sewing machine company has engaged in suspicious or unethical practices. The company has a long history dating back to the mid-1800s and is credited with many innovations in the sewing machine industry. It's possible that the statement you provided is meant to be humorous or satirical, rather than a serious commentary on the company's history. If there have been developments or revelations about the Singer company's history since September 2021, I wouldn't be aware of them. If you're interested in learning more about the Singer company's history, I would recommend conducting research through reputable sources to get a comprehensive and accurate understanding of its background and contributions to the sewing industry.
100 years ago, they used to make Singer machines in Scotland. The quality of the products and the working conditions were significantly better than this and we are talking about 100+ years ago.
It's certainly is rare to see a handmade sewing machine. For small runs this is great and a long way from what we see in the West -- and China - with giant assembly lines. These beautiful machines are clearly made for a specific audience in Pakistan.
I use 60-year-old sewing machine because it's not made of plastic and unrepairable like nearly all modern machines. I wish that audience was more prevalent here in the USA. It's a Brother Dressmaker... a copy of a Singer not unlike the model in this video.
Уровень производства конец 19-го начала 20-го века. Моя бабушка на подобном шила 40+ лет назад. И та швейная машинка была качественней. Советского производства. Про немцев вообще молчу. Немцам ролик НЕ ПОКАЗЫВАТЬ. Они сойдут с ума.
А немецких бытовых швейных машинок у нас практически и не было. Подольский завод до революции и выпускал те самые Зингеры, которые не редкость и сейчас) Локализованное производство.
Faut peut être revoir le titre de la vidéo...?! Ce sont plutôt des machines à coudre... Pas des balançoires....!!! A moins que je me sois trompé de planète !??
👍👌👏 Simply fantastic! I definitely don't need one but now I want such a gorgeous green sewing machine! 2) I absolutely always love those special work safety sandals and the safety beards that filters the paint dust. 🙈
You don't have a clue. They cost more than most machines sold today. Same aluminum casting is used by many manufacturers. Better than most home machines.
Долго получиться , подогнать все детали под корпус собрать отладить потом разобрать покрасить и поставить именно те детали и опять все отрегулировать .
What possessed these people to do the machining operations to the casting AFTER it has been painted? That's completely insane. What if the paint gets scratched? What if they discover the casting is unusable? 8:28 The paint on the edge is already chipped off from being dropped on its back so many times, and on hard surfaces.
If they machined it first, they would have to mask the machined surfaces to prevent them from getting any paint on them, a fussy and time consuming task.
Painful to look at. The chipped edges! How they could be so careless, after so mauch effort to put all the layers of finish and decor. And it is so easy to prevent this!
These sewing machines will surely work for decades. The new plastic computer sewing machines that can be bought in Europe / USA today are broken after 6 months and cost a small fortune.
This is so sad. Worker safety is ignored. They are spraying chemical paints without breathing protection. They work in open sandals without safety shoes. There is no fans and ventilation for the fumes. They work without gloves and safety glasses. Working with castings gives you silicosis. All of these 3rd world country manufacturing videos are sad because the workers will suffer long term health defects down the road because of the lack of proper conditions. The workers need health and safety laws and they aren't getting them.
Impressive craftsmanship! 👌 It's fascinating to witness the artistry behind these handmade sewing machines. They offer a unique alternative to the mass production seen in the West and China. These beautiful machines cater to a specific audience in Pakistan, showcasing the cultural and artisanal value of their craftsmanship. It's a refreshing reminder that there are different approaches to manufacturing. Great video!
@@konradhenrykowicz1859 - He is Not joking. He is serious and appreciates the craftsmanship behind the build of the product. slowly these craftsmanship skills are dying.
@@cookmaster3626 Thank goodness they are dying skills. Those workers are breathing paint fumes and dust and work in dirty conditions and they are unsafe. The faster that dies off, the better.
@@cookmaster3626 I saw paiful example of wasting the work of the painters by not securing the already finished surfaces before performing assemby and machining operations. Just outrageous example of technical indolence and low craftmanship standards. Eyesoring sloppiness. Thats all it is.
Methinks I'll stick with my old Singer. It's been around for over 60 years and will undoubtedly be around another 60. I'd be shocked if one of these pot metal trinkets last 10.
It might be low tech, but the quality control is pretty damn good. You know that the ruggedness of the sewing machine will also allow it to last for decades as well, which makes it an appealing option if you want a machine without the bells and whistles. That being said, the featured sewing machines are works of art.
C'était très intéressant nous en France on se plaint souvent des conditions de travail mais sur la vidéo on peut voir des gens qui touche des produits chimiques à mains nues et je plains celui qui peint car tous les mois il doit avoir beaucoup de grammes dans le sang de peinture moi je n'ai pas jamais sans avoir de protection avant je ne mettais pas de masque et ça m'arriver de tousser un peu après avoir fait la peinture maintenant je me protège
I have been repairing sewing machines for the past fifty years. Something like this was produced in Czechoslovakia 100 years ago. What the hell are you bragging about here? I also repaired a similar sewing machine made in India from the early 90s. It was worse than the run-of-the-mill Czech Minerva. We were so stupid that we stopped making sewing machines in the mid-seventies. When you learn what we did 50 years ago, we can compete!
I'm sorry to say this, but everything. These people make it substandard. I would never use anything because you would break down pretty fast. I'm watched a lot of these videos. And they all Work in their pajamas and sandals. I would never buy anything from them. And it's not racist, I'm just not stupid.
Their worker turnover must be horrendous. These guys are probably u able to work after a couple yrs of breathing in the paint and metallic dust. Dropping dead after a 5 yr career .
Some lovely colours but sadly, roughly made. Having said that, this will be someone’s pride and joy and in skilled hands will no doubt be used to make many beautiful things.
Rusty casting? Never mind! Precision as in bricking a barn? Never mind! Staining on the ground in dirt and dust? Who cares about the details. What matters is a big sticker to cover up the shitty finish...
I'm sorry I would not bite anything from these people. It's like they discovered the wheel hundreds of years ago. It's ridiculous and they're not trying to advance there's stuck
Hell no we don't need any particle filters. Paint mist in the lungs is good for you. If the particles don't make you healthy then the solvents will, right?
De repente voltamos para os anos 50 durante 12 minutos e 6 segundos, a última vez que vi uma dessa foi num museu, elas valem muito nas mãos de colecionadores.
I own a Singer made about 1900. It’s not a collectors item to me. It is a simple and rugged machine that is a joy to use. I have owned it for over twenty five years.
No masks during spray-painting and no gloves - no PPE to be seen at all really. Sad in this day and age, it will impact their health and the fix is cheap and easy.
3:45 my old "metal industry basics" teacher would have kicked my butt for tapping a thread like that but in case this is the standard there then it explains why are aftermarket motorcycle parts from India are inferior compared to the Czech originals (Jawa). I feel sorry for these guys that they have to work without any work safety equipment. The painters lung must be full of paint particles after a day of work.
Realmente uma volta aos anos 50, muito bem feitas, porém o tempo pra completar a fabricação de uma máquina, a indústria automobilística, fabricou quase 5 carros ou mais, dependendo do tipo e modelo, é claro. Mas jamais deixa de ser uma obra de arte, o que mais me chamou a atenção é a falta do elemento feminino nessa equipe e a presença de muitas crianças.
Samad belongs to Abdul Samad Isyaku Rabiu, Nigerian billionaire, born on 4.8.60 in Kano/Niger. He is the 4th richest man in Africa. His father started by trading in religious books, bicycles and Samad sewing machines. Progress, isn't it?
A perfect revelation of the concepts of 'carelessness', 'sloppiness' and 'mindless waste of teamwork'. It would be hard to find more blatant examples of poverty, despite the best efforts.
