I say young lady, steady on there.

You could excite some of us mild mannered bikers with talk like that.
Some of us have led very sheletered lives.

 

When I was very little I could use an ancient Frister Rossman(?), could
load the wossits, tension the thread, and never put the needle through
any finger. I was a dab hand at snapping them though.

Derelict factories really can raise strong emotions, I used to take any
opportunity to explore them but that's not so easy now, partly 'cos of
legislation, and partly 'cos they knock them down. :-(

 

I've got one those, a nice early sixties example.

 

Clutch pushrod oil seal? They all do that sir. My left boot was always
completely waterproof.

 

I know a few odd people ...

 

I've got a Frister and Rossman tredle jobbie and 3 Singers, various
models... I know sod all about them, 'cept that I think they're
beautiful... I know, I'm a sad bastard...

This one had a continuously running induction motor with a clutch.
Massive inertia if you needed to punch through thick stuff. The oilbath
was sealed - took a good ten minutes to get into it.

 

Only had one go... mostly it was a minor but annoying recurring leak
from the tacho drive - and the perennial weep from the head gasket, of
course. None of it enough to justify a complete strip and rebuild, but
irritating.

Ah, yes, I never got it up to full speed, though I saw her do it from
time to time. Making cinema curtains was fun. Acres of black fire-proof
serge. Black dust everywhere, zillions of clips and eyelets. And the
sheer bulk of a West End sized cinema screen curtain. They're about as
unwieldy as you might expect them to be. Just getting 'em in the van was
half an afternoon's jbex.

She had a steel-topped jbexbench about 10' on a side and a vast stash of
mangents of various sizes for holding patterns and fabrics down. Great
for cutting out silicone coated ripstop, which is a sod to control
otherwise.

I'm sure we could molish you one....

Used to have to polish it quite often - it was bare steel and would rust
nicely and stain the cloth if not waxed. If you ever decide to molish
one, paint it. Matt grey would probably be best.

 

Ordered? *ORDERED!* *ORDERED???*

Haven't you any good skips in your locality? Yesterday, I weaseled a
piece of carpet from a skip, thinking cost gooves of warm feetse in the
jbexshop this winter, however, I find it is a piece of very good woollen
Wilton on a proper hessian backing, and a little light in colour.

However, my bathroom carpet is mid grey (well, the good bits are) and
pretty grotty. The jbexshop is about to get a blotchy grey crapit and
the bathroom a sort of wilting pale blackcurrant milkshake one.

I'm taking a back boiler out of my fromt room fireplace. *MY* gridge and
jbexshop will be centrally-heated, at pretty nearly zero cost, so nyer.

I ohled one of they from a local reclaimed building materials yard for
25 ZU...

(Hardened, or for hardening...

And biccies. And lots of tobacco tins. And some jamjars with a tasteful
arrangement of old paintbrushes in. A window with red checky curtings.
Oh, and lots of other things like an old mangle, a complex of
superentangled deckchairs, a missing Stanley knife and a nammer.

All mine are peanut butter jars wiv plastic lidses wot wont go rusty

Ah. Guilty as charged, yer'onner.

Even better: laminate the top with cutting mat! Thin enough to use the
magnets, and me rotary cutter won't be blunted eever!
