    Adam welcomes a new sewing machine into his workshop--a powerful Sailrite LSZ-1--by building out a custom table setup for it to include organizational drawers and rolling casters. It's an upgrade based on the workflow Adam developed for his previous sewing station, and Adam breaks in the new machine by making a heavy duty canvas dust cover for it!

    My grandma in PR was always around her sewing machine fixing something. Growing up I was always fascinated by the machine (it was a vintage one with mechanical pedal). I always wanted to learn but didn't want to tell anyone because I was afraid the men in my family would say that's a women's stuff. Now that im 34 and living in the US ive been thinking of getting me a machine and take some lessons. I no longer care about what other people think about me. I love making stuff.

    Hey Adam, I think I prefer the video style you’ve been doing by filming everything on your own in the shop, it feels more personal. It gives me the feeling that we’re there with you in the shop. The one day builds are a little figure it out as you go, (a little rough around the edges) and I think it matches the filming style now. I don’t think post corona I want to go back to the old style of one day builds. Your film crew is quite excellent though!

    I've had my Ultrafeed for several years. It's a great machine. One thing it's lacking, and that you could build, is a knee lever to raise and lower the presser foot -- those things are almost like a third hand, allowing you to keep both hands on your work while using the presser foot as a clamp. Looking forward to seeing that one day build!

    • @shooterdotnet
      @shooterdotnet 4 роки тому +2

      @@RichCorbett Haha! Adam's setup, with a servo motor, and industrial table isn't exactly boat friendly to begin with, and all the knee levers that I've seen are easily attached/detached from the machines. Checkout the Jukis, and you'll see what I mean. It really is a nice feature, especially when working with heavier fabrics.
      But, you raise a good point about the Ultrafeed being a good boat friendly machine -- when it is in a portable case with an integrated motor. But man, oh man, is it heavy! One of the coolest things is that with the super heavy flywheel and hand crank option, it's the only modern machine I've seen that can be operated totally by hand without any electricity. Talk about boat friendly!

      When I was Tiny my mom was sewing on our old sewing machine. I'm not exactly sure what model it was but it was like an old singer or Kenmore rotary sewing machine. She's chugging along at Mach speed and then suddenly I hear like two or three good crunch noises. She drops the first F-bomb I've ever heard her say and I look over and the needle is going through her finger. Lol she backs the needle out of her finger and I was so convinced that she was dying or something that I tried to ride my tricycle to the hospital to get somebody. The entire time she is near passing out because she's not so good with that sort of thing and trying to keep me from cycling off into the sunset. LOL
      I'm pretty sure that if an old singer can do it then a machine like that would definitely go through finger like it wasn't there. LOL

    I’m in the industrial sewing machine and thread manufacturing industry. We repair machines often, so we have a few stands for which to put the sewing heads in in order to repair them. We mounted structural steel to the sides of the leg, sticking out to almost the width of the table top. This was mounted higher up so the wheels mount to it, but only lift the machine about 1/2”. The sewing heads we get in for these particular stands are over 200#, so we wanted to be able to wheel the stand over to the crate and use a crane, then wheel them both into the shop area.
    The reason for making the steel wide was to reduce the tendency to tilt over. For our thread manufacturing, we made carts that our large winding machines can sit into. We lift the machine with slings and a lift truck, wheel the carts under, then wheel the machines wherever we want them.

    FINALLY!!! I was wondering when you were going to discover Sailrite. Given what you do, it seemed inevitable. For the record, worked in sewing machine maintenance and repair for over 7 years. You’ve chosen well, but we’d expect no less. Enjoy it!
    If Cons resume, look into the portable case/motor for the Sailrite machines, as you’ll no doubt want to have it for emergency repair services.

    I'm so excited to see Adam get into sewing. I have come back to it in the last couple years and totally reorganized my sewing stuff after listening to his book. I ended up with a prefab parts cabinet for all my tiny sewing bits and pieces which is working well for me.
    I also was working on the hand sewing of my apron when his apron video came out. I feel like we are on the same quarantine wavelength :p

      Funny you should say you feel you're on the same wavelength. I literally just thought the same as I picked up two industrial machines and a table only two weeks ago... a 1948 Singer 241-13 and a 1953 Singer 251-2. I spent the last week cleaning and servicing both machines. I think I may have to customize my table and swap out the old clutch motor for a servo like Adam's.

    Top tip when using your industrial machine: right foot controls the speed of your sewing, but use your left foot on the pedal too, just to the ball of your foot on the back of the pedal, it helps you control your speed and ability to stop quickly! Looking forward to seeing your new project ❤️

    When cutting bolts or threaded rod, I always put a nut on first down where you want to save. So if chamfering the edge still doesn't let a nut start, you just back the other one off and it cuts the threads enough to make it work.

    Great choice of sewing machine and nice build. I own a Sailrite LSZ-1 and love it. It is a 49 lbs tank that is almost entirely user serviceable. I kinda view it as the Bridgeport of sewing machines. I do not have the servo since mine is in a travel case, but the servo makes low speed work much more doable. Enjoy the upgrade.

    Adam, what that sewing table needs for the wheels is a mechanism such as those used by rolling stairs, where you lift a handle and it engages the wheels so it's moveable, when you release the handle the table rests on the floor at it's normal height with the wheels off the floor.
