Masterfully done. The artwork is lovely, and the pedestal is nice and rigid. With the rapidly increasing popularity of these junk-yard products, it's fun to see what people are doing to make them more functional. I'm not taking mine this far, but the improvements that I've done have paid off in smoothness of operation and I hope, longevity.
Really stunned by the craftsmanship shown! Thanks for giving us the beautiful views of this patcher that it can be rebuilt. I hope one day I can have such a refurbished machine but this is just a dream !
You could sell upgrades for the machine no problem! I told my husband it is just like someone buying and old car and making it a work of art! Beautiful job!
Great build! So the 100 bucks buys you a rough mockup?😀😀 I admire your skills and style. I'm an aging lifelong cabinetmaker, and totaly get it with regards to your motivation! Cheers to the shop dog also!
Best update on this machine I've seen, real craftsmanship! Question, are the new arms forged? I've got one of these coming, but don't think I have the skills to make it this nice, but I am planning on cleaning it up some and installing some bushings, etc. Thanks for the video!
Thank you very much! No, I do have a blacksmith shop but these are actually sawn out of stock and ground to shape on my belt sander. The finish is a heat/oil bluing. There is a guy on here (turbo conquering mega eagle) who reshaped the existing arms on his machine and they look great.
I am receiving my machine today, yours looks great. Can I ask how you got that front cylinder brass? Did you have it plated, or use a brass brush and heat?
That thing looks awesome. Question: did you use the same size of bobbin and shuttle, or you went with the larger one? I’m considering re-creating the bed on my machine to fit the larger bobbin and shuttle.
its been more popular since the covid19 temperature on this planet. look this guy up on ebay hes got the machine y-wait69 or walmart got the machine named under preenex
