    Old sewing machines (pic heavy)

    I have looked everywhere, there is no model number, there is not even a serial number. Just W stamped in the base and FR22 4 inside the back cover.

    Thank you for that part of the puzzle! I will try but I am sure they are not in this country.

    Old sewing machines (pic heavy)

    I have one that looks like that but it's not a Singer! The needle used is not the universal needle either. I have one installed on the machine when I got it and I cannot find replacement for it. It's slightly longer and very thin with the diameter of the needle being almost the same throughout...

    Bleeding Leather Dye..... HELP!

    I use their professional dye because of that reason. Try sealing the leather with shellac.

    Dip pen

    Ya if you get a nicely handwritten snail mail, it's a real treat. I don't use dip pen for much anymore, maybe an occasional scribble. It's difficult to buy the nib also.

    Dip pen

    Does anyone still use one of these? I don't use them as much as I would like to. This one is solid brass grip with resin body and cap. The cap is great if you travel with the pen and also prove some protection to the nib when you are not using it.

    New meth stove with some control.

    A continuation of the idea. What do you think? You can continue cooking non stop as long as you top up the fuel. Here is a video I uploaded to youtube to show how it works. https://youtu.be/xSHFWECRSeI

    R&D pocket stove / multi fuel candle?

    Used a 1" tube rather then the 5/8" previously. 10% more fuel and manage to boil the 500ml water. Burn time about 28 minutes. Just light the wick! No need to prime. Do you have a photo?

    R&D pocket stove / multi fuel candle?

    This is the original intention. As a mini stove that fits in the pocket. Burn time 26 minutes Ambient temperature 24°C Volume of water 500ml Result: fail to bring the water to a boil! But when the fire dies down, you can fill the top and the sudden cooling will suck the fuel into the tank...

    R&D pocket stove / multi fuel candle?

    Anything is possible. I have no set-up for anodising yet but have been wanting to start that. Not many options for finishing due to the heat. This is the new one without screw tread. The wick inset will be press fit. The tube is stainless steel.
