Thank you. I suspect it was not a real Smith. When looking for the description it goes to more product. They should never be able to out and out do that.

Hi cliff, love the straight talk no bullshit with waffling on with nonsense, I bought a punch set from else where some time ago , it was a self centering coin type, I find applying a little wax or within that nature to the punch cutting edge it help releasing the punch back out from the coin a little easier, , Also not seen your the punch cutting angle on your set but mine has a slight angle to them to help cut through the coin easier,

Hello! I’m from Russia and I have a very rare patcher Claes 201-1.

I agree entirely with the comment below.......well done !!

This is a spindle nose variant? When I Google the V10 I see a lot of threaded spindles, like on older lathes. Does anyone know if Emco changed design at a certain time?

What was the bit you used?

Cliff, love he videos but PLEASE stop using wd40 as a penetrating oil or lubricant , as its rubbish at both, also on very small fitting parts it can become glue, Sory to chastise you but its a pet hate of mine when people use it wrogly, Keep up the good work and the best of luck

It's looking a hell of a lot better since you cleaned it Cliff. Bit of a bugger about the pin and the broken part. I'm sure you will get it sorted. Cheers, Alan.

Cliff is that main beam pivot pin domed on both sides? No way you'll nock that out if it is. Try thinking of it as 2 separate pins coming in to meet in the middle. My guess is it's like a metal plate pin. Try get a thin tipped chisel under the head of one and leaver it out OR grip with vice grips and wriggle. #RD way grind one head off then try tap it out it maybe peened both sides

You’re using the wrong dyes mate. None of the ones that came with that press will work. Those are for flat bar stock not hollow round or square tubing. Nobody else commented on this. It was most likely out of whack from poor measurements or not keeping the material perfectly level on the bender. There are many videos up here of guys bending hollow tube.

Part 2 i have not tried it but i wonder what would happen if a seize part was put in a ultrasonic cleaner ? Kit from down under

I got that stuck pinout by laying the machine on its side onto support blocks and using a hefty pin punch, giving it a mighty blow!

I wish there was a 5 leg puller available for getting the handwheel off!

Excellent progress Cliff. Pulling your hair out or what? That missing broken piece lifts the foot. You won't have a walking foot without it. You can easily fabricate one. Singer were fantastic engineers and wood machinists producing high tech goods for their era. The machine's looking great the work you've done so far. Cheers Tony

When I change the fluid in my automatic transmission i keep it its my go to fluid for soak seized part . Put some in your parts and let them soak for a few days . Kit from down under

I’m sure you will have a fix for it and start sewing

Hi Cliff. This is Phil’s brother Michael! Phil and I restored a 29k-15 many years ago and I used it so much I wore it out. I’ve had two since, both rebuilt several times and they are excellent machines. I’m probably preaching to the converted, but the main beam pivot pin- and most of the other pins - are all tapered and hardened, so you won’t drill it out! They can be tight… Any thing you want to know just message me. Timing isn’t as big an issue as it appears but it is critical to making it sew. I can help with that. The leaf spring on the back provides foot pressure and the pawl and wing nut assembly adjusts the amount of foot lift to account for thick and thin materials. The machine threads in a very unusual manner! Excellent video… been there and thoroughly enjoyed it!

Great progress so far,Cliff.I´m sure you can handle it.See you next one.Thank you.

It's a bugger of a job Cliff.

Oh well. Great effort Cliff. I have no doubt you will be able to find a way to mend that broken part. Good luck. 👏👏👍😀

Well done so far Cliff can’t wait to see it working.

A fine example or patience, persistence and endurance, wish I had it 👍🤓

the shuttle drive gears and rack need timing, I think it is a line up the dots job, I will have a word with my brother tomorrow and let you know! I have also sent a link to your video to him so he may watch it and comment anyway! He has taken a needle arm pin out, and they are a right B*stard to do! excellent video Cliff, the brightwork looks amazing! Phil

Great Job Cliff 👌 you'll fix it for sure & never look back once you start sewing with it buddy 🙌

Fascinating! Ive just been given my nans/great grandads 1930s mantel clock. Tried winding it, pretty much fully wound but not moving. Im assuming this is whats wrong.

Is it possible to connect the engine temperature sensor to the inverter?

We had a fire in our shop, had to rewire all three axises, wire sheathing melted to the strain relief and was trash, took many hours of pulling old wire out of strain relief and more time pulling more wire (US Phone wire what we used as replacement)back thru, just cut ends off, twisted each wire together used a bit of electric tape so no one wire would touch another and knock wood, they are still working with minimal problems, hardest part is getting all wires secured inside the reader head, but was well worth the time, had buy new dro reader because old one melted 🫠 in fire 🔥 but we got lucky, if known that only need 4 wires would have been even faster, we connected each and every wire 😂😒🤦🏻‍♂️

I have 2 of these, seized in the same place, I was almost shouting at the screen to point out where it was seized, great machines and made to last unlike modern junk..

Hi Cliff, just seen your machine is on the Australian version of the Repair shop. May be worth a watch.

Good job getting it to work

I love seeing these century old machines being brought back to life and being used once again. I'm looking forward to seeing the finished product stitching a bit of leather.

Half the fun with restores like this Cliff is figuring out how the bloody thing works 🤣🤣 Looks like you're off to a good start 👍👍 Cheers, Alan.

Nice work Cliff. Great to see a positive result. Your gambles paying off. Cheers Tony

Well done Cliff, I had no idea how it was supposed to work! I had guessed it might be WW1 era, but even earlier, from 1904. Best wishes, Dean.

Happy New Year Cliff. Good job on the sewing machine. My sister in laws father was a cobbler in Burton upon Trent and he had a very similar looking machine in his shoe and boot repair shop. I remember it as it had the same beam or boom arm on top of it. God that was sixty years ago now. I was around ten or eleven at the time!

I've got one of those, I think mine is 1910. I need to machine a new rack that drives the bobbin case. Paid £50 for mine a couple of years back. It's on the original stand with treddle . It was outside for some time and seized up in a similar way, and not much paint left. Lovely old machine, Will be interesting to see how yours performs.

Hi Cliff, so satisfying to find the spanner in the works, and then to move on to fettling it. With your skills it will literally be working like clockwork soon.

The handbrake was on.

Hi Cliff.I remember seen those machines in the catalogues about 30 years ago for heavy duty leather work.Pretty expensive.ATB.Thank you.

Glad to see you’re back enjoying your self keep at it.

Hi Cliff. Your patient approach has been well rewarded. Well done on getting the machine working. Looking forward to seeing it restored and brought back into use. 👏👏👍😀

my first thoughts on that pin was something along the lines of a bike chain splitter

Happy New Year Cliff.

Happy new year Cliff. Thank you for your videos sir

Happy New Year Cliff. My wife still use her home Singer sowing machine, which is over 100 years old. She said one like you have is sometimes used on Repair Shop.

All the best for you and yours for 2025 Cliff.

Happy NY Cliff Hopefully, I will see you at HE soon for a round. Steve

I hope you very a very merry Christmas and a wonderful New Year.

Nice one mate
