Any recommendations on a mini sewing machine?

 written () ago

I'm looking at buying one of those cheapish miniature sewing machines, living the nomadic lifestyle in a camper so no room for a full sized model, & looking for recommendations since there are a lot of them being sold on Amazon. Hand sewing is too damned tedious & looking to speed things up. Problem is, I have NO experience with anything but the full sized units & don't wanna be stuck with crap.

Alternative lubricants for a ZF manual gearbox?

 written () ago

First I'll give a little back-story about my experiences with an old VW van transaxle. Used to be, many moons ago when I was young, that I'd buy a beater VW van, fix it up, then sell it when I wanted something else. Often, the transaxle would have a pronounced whine & be hard to shift. I'd basically cure 'cure' that by adding by adding a can of Molyslip (molybdenum disulfide & engine oil) to the transaxle. This would often work in rear diffs & manual gearboxes that started to howl.

Oh yes, I want one of those treadle machines, too!

I was talking to a cobbler a number of years ago & he claimed that the old treadle style sewing machine was preferred in his trade because of the control it gave & it could easily punch through the thickest leather.

That's why I generally stay out in rural areas since, percentages being equivalent to the city, there just isn't as high a concentration of idiots per square mile.

What do you do to get yourself out of a funk when youโ€™re โ€œtired of feeling like thisโ€?

Used to be, I'd just travel & meet new people. Barring that (temporary health concerns) I spend a lot of time outdoors with my pups.
