Friday Yuk

being Scummy!!!

Wait, I lie. Tis easy being Scummy!!! :D

but am eyeing the complete collection. The price needs to drop, but I doubt it will. C&H is pretty groundbreaking, and it's unlikely that there will ever be anything as good again.

edit: Thanks for the link.

Scum Remover that it can lay it's hands on. They want to clean up your new Religion and make it Pure. :D

Col

BTW What's happened here? Seems that something is going on with lots of posters this Monday. Maybe Steffi is really Important or should that read Impotent?

:^0

Firstly it's not Relaxing it's [b]SCARY![/b] X-(

Now that the big problem is out of the way the Hook is turning the wrong way Rotary Hooks always turn clockwise not anticlockwise. :p

If you persist in these Terrorist Activities and attempting to [b]Scare People to Death[/b] I'll have to push on the [b]Terminator Button[/b] and let Beth deal with your wicked ways. :^0

Col

Speaking of which, I should probably do my taxes coming
up, cause I forgot to file as a religion ...

oops...

As for Steffi, ok while I teased her about it up the thread a
bit, yes, she seems to have some kind of usefulness for
the YUK. She stops posting to it, nobody looks here, she
starts and suddenly 100+ posts... Hmmmm...

Her impurity is bringing us to 1 place :0

would be an excellent high priestess for the religion of Scum. Why don't you solicit her? :D

edit: No insult intended Steffi!

Wow! You've been to the home of the high rise trailer - Arkansas! :D

I think that high-rise is pretty awesome. I could live there. Seriously. :0 :D

Thanks again, Ropes. That was the last remaining mystery of creation for me.

Hmmm, meld the most impure of the impure to the Scum..

Hmmm (evil grin) :D

I've had a tab set to that video ever since you posted it and just now got around to viewing it. I'm looking on the bright side! Let me rephrase that, I'm trying to look on the bright side, with some small amount of success. At least for one day after the flooding we had a solid sheet of ice covering the entire side-yard. That's something I've never seen before and, hopefully, with any luck, it's something I'll never see again.

If the view was from that side the Bobbin Case [i]or whatever you want to call it[/i] would have been the other way round. But as things stand with any Rotary Hook system the Bobbin Case always has the Bobbin Thread leaving it on the Left Hand Side.

So in this case the Hook is traveling the wrong way. :p

Col

south of the equator. :D

I could flip the entire thing but I'm pretty busy here.

BTW- I didn't make that. In my inexperienced opinion drawing something like that requires a steadier hand than I have or a tablet and software that supports a tablet.

I'll flip the whole thing if you want me to. I might just flip it no matter if you'd like it or not but I'm currently doing other stuff that is on my agenda for today. If I think of it...

would the thread not get caught up on one side? I mean the
rotating piece needs to have an arm attached, right??

I eschew all other religions and am joining Scummy, as long as I don't have to do anything.

a sewing machine to take apart...
So from my view, the top thread would wrap around the arm, and get all caught up and tangled until it failed to function ( a few rotations perhaps).

That's my guess. My wife would likely hurt me if I tear into her sewing machine to take a good look. Further, I just tried reversing everything and it's going to take more time than it's worth for me to do it because of the way the picture was constructed/saved. Bummer.

Never say die! :D

Scummy has 2 followers now :)

And your duties are exactly this

Do what you want, and have a built in excuse for it! (as
long as it isnt too illegal). Your religion made you do it...

In other words, if you wanna go fishin, your religion made
you go fishin without spousal approval :^0
(just an example)

I've got an idea for a gif that I'm going to work on tomorrow. No promises but if it turns out right... I'll be surprised. :)

I just spent way too long fixing the stupid things and know them inside out even if the only ones that I've touched in the past 20 + Years where Family Ones. Whoops I just remembered that I owned a Sewing Machine Shop in Charters Towers till 1991. :(

I still hate the things though. :D

Oh many years ago I did try to explain to a guy I was supposedly teaching just how the Top Thread went around the Hook & Bobbin Case. I don't think that he got it though. He did look confused and kept asking why doesn't it catch? :^0

Col

It's way too hard and the last time that I tried this I don't think that the person believed me either. Several years latter when I ran across him again I asked why the Top Thread didn't get caught up around the Bobbin and I got thrown out of the place that he was working at. :(

Pity that all my Service Manuals and other Books where inside on loan to him and he didn't want to hand them back. :_|

But if you really want to know I have my sisters Nechi here if you pull it apart and fix it up I'll show how the Bobbin, Bobbin Case & Hook actually works. Might even be faster than waiting for me as I've only had it since December. :^0

Col ]:)

I guess if it is that complicated, I can go on being ignorant of the 'how the thread doesnt tangle' part because now I at least know how it works :) on a basic level. And since I never had, nor plan to have a sewing machine anyway, it really doesnt help out too much anyway.

wait a minute! Is that another sign of the HAL9000 feminine side? :^0
you didnt just own a sewing machine, you owned quite a few (with manuals on hand) :^0 :^0 :^0

The Manuals that I was referring to where Service Manuals as I used to fix those silly things and like any decent Service Manual I Collect them. :p

Actually I only have 1 Sewing Machine here and that's a 1974 Elna Star Series one and even then it's the wifes. I just have to fix it when she breaks it. And it was the best Elna ever made so I'm keeping it.

At one stage I was collecting Sewing Machines and had the original Elna actually I've just been told that [b]SWMBO[/b] still has it but I haven't seen it for years now. I also had one of the Original Huskies bot Straight Sewers the Elna had a Rotary Hook and the Husky had a Shuttle so it didn't have any form of Hook but had the Bobbin and Bobbin Case [Lose definition which isn't right but for the sake of your understand I'm using them] move past the needle and catch the Top Thread and once it had passed the Bobbin Case the thing moved back to the front of the machine.

As for explaining how the thing works and doesn't have the Top Thread get caught it helps if you have a unit in your hand to see how it works and then have someone explain it to you. But needless to say the Thread Take up Lever pulls the Top Thread back up and past anything holding the Bobbin Case or Base in place.

The other problem with the item shown above is that it's actually wrong as Rotary Hooks spin 2 revolutions for every stitch to help keep the thing clear of Cotton Locks and and have enough Energy to break anything that actually gets caught while working.

But no Overlocker here or anything similar only other item related to the days when I fixed those silly things is the Ironing Press which I also had to fix when I was working at Elna. So I have a full set of Elna Service & Parts manuals from the beginning to the Air Electronic, Bernina Service Manuals from the beginning to the 1130 Series Domestics and the Full 50 Series Light Industrial and the 17 Series which remained reactively unchanged from the beginning of production till the end of the Model in looks at least though there where many Design Improvement's. The 50 Series ended with the 950 and the 17 Series ended with the 217 which I was considered an Expert with as I sold more of these than anyone else in the world mainly to Sail Makers. Yep I was into Sailing as well and was responsible for the Machines being used when Australia 2 took the 20 Gunnie Cup away from the Yanks. :D

The 50 Series was also another great machine and here in QLD we sold more per year that the rest of the world put together. Of course when I had all the Dealers trained with these things sales when through the roof and the Company in their Infinite Wisdom with a Hit on their hands ceased production as they didn't want to tool up to make more. Accountants. X-(

Now Lesson over I don't want to go back there ever again so when do you want to fix my sisters Nechi? :^0

Col

There werent a dozen or so owners manuals laying about! :^0 :^0

Ok, I had a friend that had a TV/VCR repair shop, and he OWNED a dozen TV's and VCR's. So dont try weasling out on it, you know you got some (more than youre telling). Ok, you may have rid them in the recent move, but you HAD them....

And if you think I'll beleive otherwise, you are kidding yourself. :D

Oh, and No, I dont want to work on it. And right now finding time for anything is a pain.. last couple of weeks I have jumped on TR for 10-15 min, and just left it open for a few hours until I could get another 10-15 min.. And even then, often my 10-15 is actually only 1-2 min....
About the only time I have right now is after my alarm goes off and before my coffee is ready.

Well then Yes I had a lot of Sewing Machines, Overylockers and Ironing Presses but when I sold the shop back in 1991, I sold all if them then. :p

The ones that the buyer didn't want I reduced to parts and threw out what wasn't even potential Useful in the next 200 years. Don't care what you think but the move from Charters Towers back to Brisbane involved a trip of over 1,200 KMS so no junk was bought along for the ride. Spare Parts and Tools however are a different thing as I do have a few of those. :D

Can I interest you in a Hook, Base & Bobbin Case for a 12 MM swing 217 Bernina? Excellent Sail Makers Machine but a bit pricey. How about the Electronic Test Rig for a 1130 Bernina it's a Computer though. And slightly expensive. :)

One guy offered to buy them off me for $100.00 and I suggested that I would prefer to throw them in the rubbish Bin rather than give them away for so little. He came crawling a few months latter after something and I sold it to him for $300.00 and it was really cheap at that price. :D

Now who wants some Spares for Elna, Bernina, Husky Sewing Machines and Globe, Bernette, Babylock & Juki Overylockers?

I can even tell them what is required to convert to 110 Volts [i]probably got most of the parts [/i]as well because I used to have so many people around the world ring me asking what they needed to change when converting the Voltage of the machines. ;)

[b]Some silly fools actually thought that I knew what it was I was doing.[/b] :^0

[i]Edited to add[/i] :D

[u]Well since you claim to be so busy I have the solution for you. [b]Walk Away[/b] and come over here and fix my sisters Nechi. You'll feel so much better and much poorer when you get back there and will be happy to stay there and not complain. I even have the Service & Parts Manual for the Nechi so you are not on your own repairing it. OH it is a [b]Computer[/b] if that helps. So you have Electronic Controls for the main machine then the Stitch Length, Stitch Width, Bobbin Winder and needle up & down. Want to count how many motors that is? [/u] :^0

I've been told that the Religion of [b]Scum[/b] is handing out trips for education porpoises if you need the money for the trip. :p

Yep I know there is a spelling mistake there but they are a religion and make their own rules so maybe they are giving away money for Educating Porpoises or I don't know what. :p

Col ]:)

I wonder how expensive it is to educate dolphins??

The Church of Scum is not spending monies right now unfortunately, you heard wrong! I think that your sources are getting pretty bad these days :^0 The church has No Revenues coming in (yet), so cannot afford to do this.

the heck would anyone leave their toys laying around :0 ;)
I know I don't :^0

Rob

From the God of Scum. :D

When are you going to start to do as I tell you to? :p

Col :^0

donates a few hundred thousand $$$ into the Scum Religions account :^0

That outta get the ball rolling a bit!

just think, then you would be able to 'influence' the Scummy One :D (well, after the vacation is over at least :D )

Oh, and dont tell me that the HAL cannot come up with a measly few hundred thousand $$$. I know better. with access to every e-bank in the world, one would think a few hundred million wouldnt be too much to ask for :^0 :^0

Just list your bank Account Detail;s here and I'll start the transfers.

Lets see I'll start off with removing a small amount of cash from the PLO like all of it and then the IRA and so on till you have a few Million. However I can't guarantee that they will not come looking for it. :D

But your wish is my command. :^0

After all what else could I do for one of my followers? :p
