  6. Dug into the sewing machine a bit more - the light needs new wiring, it’s cracked inside. So far, the motor wiring still looks good at least. I managed to get the service manual so that shoudl be helpful.

    I decided I’m going to use power pole connectors to rebuild the power cables. They're fit for purpose and I have them on-hand.

  7. The old part caused about 1/4 inch slop, or backlash, as it went up and down. This reduced the stitch length some and caused a lot of missed stitches and I had to have the needle turned slightly to make it pickup the thread somewhat.

    No more slop now.

  8. I made a thing.

    It's a needle bar piston joint for a Singer 29-4 patcher sewing machine. The old one was worn and abused, not sure if an owner along the way ground the tip down or the factory did because the bottom of the hole wasn't as big or the hole had a bushing put in the bottom.

    I drilled out the hole in the drive arm, turned a new piece on the lathe to match the hole, then shaped the rest of it mostly by hand and drill press.

  9. Welcome new folks! Reminder that I’m a professor of political & creative geography at Université de Genève
 (she/her), 🇨🇭. Currently writing / drawing a book-length comic on borders. Still hoping academic folk & others engage more here, so tooting about work, but also sewing & yodelling (!).
